Mango Mood

Came for the mango, stayed for the floral hedonism. I don't know what chemical sorcery happens on my skin, but that mango lasts all of a fart then dark berries – sure, let's just say they're black currants to be fancy – and those middle notes take over. No vanilla. No patchouli... good, because I dislike that soapy wood smell. Yes, sweetness, but I wouldn't say it's a brown sugar kind of sweet. To my nose, it's the berries that give Mango Mood an earthy, jammy sweetness, and that high-key works to ground those florals. I do get a sprinkle-sprankle of sweet pink pepper, which gives it a faint citrusy zing without actually adding orange, lemons or limes. Love that. ("Mango Perfume, No Coconut, Other Tropical Fruits or Citrus Challenge", anyone? lol) Anyway, back to the mid notes: stunning. Sweet, violet, aquatic and green. Absolutely delicious. Was not expecting to like those florals as much as I did. Not sad about the mango wafting in and out over the next 24hrs. Moderate sillage, beastmode longevity on me. For those who want a photorealistic mango, you won't find it here. This is mango fruit stripped of all the subtle aromachemicals that signal "mango" in your brain. This is a synthetic, candied mango. And, despite the name, it is NOT the star of this fragrance. P.S. If you want a "mango" perfume with intimate sillage that devolves into barely smelling anything (noseblindness? legit poor performance?), comparatively trash longevity (4hrs), and too-strong patchouli to ruin your nose for the rest of the day, try Khadlaj's La Fede Aura Manga Splash. It's exactly the same as Phlur's Mango Mood but slightly more expensive and worse.

I nearly didn’t buy this because of all the negative comments here. But then I thought about it and noticed the notes were similar to other perfumes I enjoy that also happen to be unpopular, so then I decided to say screw it and blind buy it anyway since everyone has different tastes; and I love it! It’s a lovely body mist so I was right to go ahead and buy it regardless of what everyone else is saying. My sister also agrees that it’s great, she said it was sweet but in a good way and I agree, there’s a sweetness to the juicy and realistic mango but it’s also a mature and somewhat sophisticated scent due to the other notes. Personally I’ll be wearing this during the summer as it’s a wonderful summer scent and I’m very surprised a lot of people aren’t fans as to me it feels like a very safe blind buy, I’m kinda confused why so many people don’t like it because I think it’s quite the people pleasing scent too, though to each their own I guess. Edit: this is amazing, I love it and can’t stop smelling myself today since it’s all I’m wearing, maybe it’s just how it reacts to my body chemistry but it’s absolutely heavenly on me, it’s such a sexy scent too which I forgot to mention earlier. When I finish the bottle I have now, I’m 100% getting the biggest bottle.

This is Mango Skin on a budget. Mango Skin is stronger, with a smoother and more refined dry down. But I would say these two are extremely close like 90% similar. I don’t think Vilhelm Perfume reveals all the notes because there is something soft and silky in the dry down that Mango Mood does not replicate. When I smell Mango Mood I pick up a realistic, juicy mango and a spicy grounding patchouli that does not smell dirty. There is a little sweetness in the base that I think is the brown sugar and vanilla. I do not smell any florals. I have had this for about year and the Mango hangs around a lot longer now. When my bottle was new the mango note dissipated quickly. Longevity is very good and the projection is moderate. Which I think is a positive because patchouli is such a polarizing note. For layering suggestions: anything from the Rabanne Fame line. But for something more tart, pair it with Saltair Exotic Pulp. 8/10, because Mango Mood is a versatile, easy reach scent that stands out and can be worn year round.

Wow do I love this. Heard that it’s similar to Mango Skin and that is 90% true. It has that juicy yet green mango with a black berry undertone like in mango skin. There is a very light patchouli way in the back and becomes slightly sweeter in the dry down. Lasts pretty good too for a body spray, like 6 hours. So happy to have this in my collection such as steal for $38 and that it’s a great dupe for mango skin

when compared to the tiny sample of Mango Skin that I have, this is an exact dupe. I love the sweet perfume-y, juiciness of this scent and that it performs like a perfume! such a good one to use during the summer while ur at the beach or use before bed for an uplifting scent. I did get the larger size but honestly you do. not. need that much since the performance is amazing for just a few sprays.

YUM YUM YUM YUM! i wore this to my summer thailand trip and to a huge devin halbal meet and greet (lol). i smelled so mango-ey without too many florals changing it up. it has a synthetic edge to it, but it was barely noticeable and it was also not unwelcome. i wish it lasted longer but its very nature prevents that, i guess (edp version kudasai).

I love this. It is a versatile layering option for summer fruity EDPs. I like that it is sweet because I can layer it with darker fragrances. It helps brighten up some of my woodier Middle Eastern fragrances. It's an easy reach for summer days on the go. It is a mood-lifting , happy fragrance. Delightful!

Easily my favorite mango fragrance. I do wish it lasted a bit longer, although the lasting power is still impressive for a body spray. It’s the perfect summertime scent with great sillage. Smells like a sexy, mature mango that’s sweet without being overpowering or nauseating.

I LOVE IT. its perfect for the summer, has good silliage, i get a lot of compliments on it. this had me discover that i love orris in perfume - it adds just the perfect amount of depth here into the sweetness

This is summer in a bottle! What a fun scent. It will mix well with floral perfumes. It is bright, juicy, and sweet. Great topper for spring and summer to lift up your spirits

I feel like it’s pretty similar to Mango skin. The notes are similar as well good dupe.

I LOVE how fruity/spicy/woody this is. It's so delightful and really lifts my mood.

Mango Skin on a budget! What’s not to love? 🥭🧡

I’m a fan of sweet, simple fruity scents and was looking for an affordable mango fragrance. On first spray it’s fairly unique in my limited experience, almost sharply sweet in a warm, slightly tropical way but also nearly too loud—I could see it inducing a headache on a bad day. As the opening dies down a little it feels tamer. On the whole it’s probably more the sweet idea of mango than a photorealistic, pulpy one. I was worried about the florals and patchouli as I don’t love them on myself but the florals seem smooth and inoffensive if they’re there at all and the patchouli blends in nicely. The dry-down was most of what convinced me to buy this after spraying it on my arm once. The projection by this point isn’t great (which isn’t exactly shocking) but I got wafts of nice, sugary vanilla that made me keep smelling my arm. It still holds something that might read a little sickly to some but as it fades the warm, smooth vanilla takes over. Overall not perfect but solid and pretty for the price. I will likely keep looking for different mango scents but am glad I have it.

I got all 3 body mists, and this my favorite of the 3 so far which is funny, because while I do appreciate a good fruity scent profile, it’s never usually my favorite. What I like about this is that it’s not just a linear mango fragrance, like you would find at bath and body works or in a regular big box body mist — it has depth and complexity. This spray smells like a PERFUME as opposed to just another body mist. The mango is definitely the star, but her backups are CARRYING honey. And doing a damn good job too, might I add. I normally dont like patchouli, but it doesn’t bother me here — it’s giving very much a coco mademoiselle type of feel, as opposed to dirty hippie. A little spicy from the pink pepper, this is interesting and has character... definitely a standout to me. If you try any of them, try this one! This is the winner so far in my book.

This is a solid body mist. It starts out verrrry fruity and tropical with the mango, and sweet but not too sweet. With the dry-down, I got a hint of the pink pepper (if at all, I may have hallucinated/been looking too hard for it). After a while, the jasmine note emerges quite distinctly. Then, it settles into the patchouli—very rich and deep, earthy/woody and herbaceous. I didn't pick up on the brown sugar or vanilla notes, or any distinct sweetness at the end, but that's okay. And, while I'm not a huge fan of patchouli, it rounds the fragrance out quite well. I only wish there was a bit more fruitiness throughout. The sillage is moderate and longevity is relatively long-lasting (context: I sprayed this on at 8 am and still very much smell the patchouli around 3 pm). A good 7/10 for me overall.

At first spray I got a sweet yet floral mango that smelled a lot like the “Mango Skin” perfume. For this price I am happy to have found such a close dupe! It has white floral and lotus notes and there is a sweetness not really from the mango but from vanilla and sugar. The mango is prominent and obvious but it adds to the fruity top notes and is supported by the other notes. With the dry down I don’t think it changes much, it is a very straight forward scent but is very nice and unique for a mango scent. Usually mango scents tend to be tropical but this one does not lean just tropical to me to be honest it really celebrates the fruit and not just a season or tone. I will definitely enjoy wearing this when I am in a mango mood!

Fun cheapie! Smells like a creamy-spicy vanilla and mango pudding I get at a bakery near me. I layer this on top of Oh Ma Biche by Lolita Lempicka to add some softness. Simple yet nice. This is my go-to whenever I'm wearing a comfortable warm weather outfit and want to smell good but don't want to overpower the room. I keep this in my bag at school since the bottle isn't too big and it's easy to re-spray in public. Safe blind buy if you're okay with a little spice and a bit of patchouli.

If you love and miss Mugler Angel Eau Croisière, Mango Mood is as close as it gets with a much more balanced, better blended patchouli note. They should have made this into an perfume though, as the performance is not the greatest with this one. It's sparkling, juicy mango with a slight tartness/sharpness and and earthy green patchouli. Mango Mood also smells similar to Mango Skin in the heart but to me Mango Skin has a much sweeter dry down whereas Phlur's stays green.

Mango Mood is an inoffensive fruitchouli. If you can find the body spray at a discounted price, it's a nice summer "party" fragrance. I can see wearing this for a "girls night out", brunch, wine tasting. In other words, it's casual, fun, and really very sweet. There's nothing particularly special about it. Drydown is soft and powdery, and will not create a headache inducing cloud in your radius.
