Aphrodite

Just like her namesake, you will fall head of heels for this gorgeous mango masterpiece. Mugler Angel Eau Croiserie 2019 (the mango one) has long held a special place in my heart. But I dumped my old girlfriend fast for this new stunner, because Aphrodite has two things that the Mugler Mango lacks: longevity, and the delicious addition of coconut. I can still smell Aphrodite on my wrist 8 hours later (shocking for any fruity freshie), and the projection is also much improved. But it's her superior formulation that's really breathtaking. This tropical beauty will transport you to that fantasy world of sitting by a sandy beach, gazing at crystal-clear azure waters with a fresh, crisp Mango daquiri in your hand. The addition of the Lotus and Palm Leaf perfect the vision, while the soft aquatic notes mellow her out. While she is still flirty, youthful, sweet and fun, she has a lot more maturity, complexity and grown-up sexiness than your run-of-the-mill fruity mall spray. She is a bit tarter than your average bear too, with a hint of lime? or subtle sharpness that makes the mango more realistic and less "girly." I've kissed a lot of mango frogs on my journey (many are too synthetic/fake, ruining the fantasy), and this one is hands-down my new favorite. Got to try a sample of this through a travelling sample box thanks to our incredible fragrance community. I literally squealed with joy when I saw this one in the box, because I was already thinking of blind buying it based on the notes and the 2023 award here (I trust you guys a lot ;-). But there is nothing worse than a bad blind buy when your expectations are high, so I was still on the fence because I've been disappointed by so many mango duds that have just run off on me after 5 sprays and 15 minutes. After wearing her for two days straight, my expectations have been far exceeded, and I couldn't be happier that I got to take her for a test drive before proposing. Aphrodite and I are officially getting married. FB here I come.

The opening is very sweet and fruity and I find the Mango to be the most prominent note that is present at all times. Once it dries down, the scent becomes creamy with the addition of the Coconut and Aquatic notes, while still remaining refreshing and very summery. To me, it's your dream tropical summer holidays in a bottle! As soon as I smell it, I immediately think of sipping my favourite mocktail on the beach as the scent itself is very uplifting and ready to help you create beautiful memories. While most summer scents are very heavy on the coconut notes, I really enjoy the addition of Mango here as it's definitely the centre of this fragrance and helps it to stand out from other bottles in the same category. Overall, I am really impressed with this perfume as it lasts 8+ hours on skin and I'm enjoying the creaminess of the Coconut blended beautifully well with the sweet and fruity Mango opening. I intend to wear this for the remaining of the summer and take it with me on any of my upcoming holidays. I definitely recommend you trying this fragrance out if you enjoy the fruitiness of the Mango note as it's very present in this scent and does not disappoint!

This is an amazing perfume i can't even find the words... I received this about 3 weeks ago and since then it is still as amazing. I'm not sure but i feel like Soki's perfumes are already macerated when they arrive because they last so long. This is even better and surpasses Guerlain's coconut fizz or any other coconut scent out there. Early this year i was waiting for Miu miu fleur de lait to come out here in London and i tested it in Harrods, The scent was nice but super weak and so I refrained from purchasing, since early this year i was craving a mango coconut fragrance and then Soki revealed she would be releasing Aphrodite, i've been dreaming of it ever since. This is a Juicy Milky Mango with the most Lactonic Coconut... Amazing value for the price and i feel so blessed to have bought this for its price, it smells worth over £200+. Bottle and cap is 10/10 Atomizer 10/10 Scent 10/10 Longevity 10/10 This perfume is my antidepressant, I want to purchase backup bottles as soon as I get the chance to.

To me there was something in the opening that reminded me of morning chess. Maybe it was the combination of mango, lotus and palm. It opens fruity but not too sweet. The mango at different times reminded me of xerjoff cruz del sur and escada taj sunset and then there was a stage where it was more shampooy fun when it mixed with the coconut water. I get coconut water rather than coconut. I really like this. It suits my skin well... I may potentially get a back up. I think this will suit a broader audience than empress. Very well done...def does not smell cheap. The scent evokes more eating tropical fruit by a big waterfall in a tropical location rarher than the sea though...so if you are scared of ozonic notes, don't be as they are not prominent.

I just received my bottle and I am IN LOVE with this fragrance! The opening is so very fun and flirty, the initial mango is not sharp or acidic but creamy and fresh, thanks to the lotus addition, I must say, very clever!. As it develops, you can start to perceive the palm leaves stepping into the scene along with the beautiful coconut note, very elegant and inviting. The aquatic notes keep the perfume smelling fresh, summery and hip. A very well done fragrance that invites you to live, to have fun and transports you to beautiful places. Will be my signature fragrance for the remaining days of Summer! Great job Soki!

Soki- you did it! I just received my bottle and it’s even better than I thought it would be. I have Coconut Fizz but it can be a bit sickly....a bit too much at times. I was a tad worried if I would like Aphrodite. But you took Coconut Fizz and you did it much better!! The additional notes are so lovely and they compliment each other seamlessly. What a gorgeous summer scent!!! And I really like the bottle. Sprayer works perfect so far :) Please keep going as your first two fragrances have been a hit. However, I must say Aphrodite is in 1st place at the moment. So yummy!

SO gorgeous! The notes say it all really ...it’s everything you want it to be! The palm and lotus keep it fresh and stop it from being juvenile, which could easily happen with mango and coconut -the stars of the show here. Sweet and fresh yet somehow also creamy. I’m eating khao niao mamuang on the beach and the air is fresh and breezy 🥭🥥🌴🪷🌊 (...if you know you know!). As a British South-East Asian, I highly appreciate this masterful composition of gorgeousness! 🥭🧡🥥🤎🌴💚🪷🩷🌊💙

From the three Soki fragrances, this was the one I thought I would like the least, due to its fruity and aquatic notes, and it was the one I liked the most! The fruits here are presented in an elegant and delicate way, the aquatic notes balance out any possible excess sweetness of these fruits, together with the green note of palm leaf. It is elegant and refined, non-aggressive, and delicately perfumes you all day long. Love it!🩷

This is a more beautiful version of Coconut Fizz. It's got that Guerlain AA DNA down perfectly but it has better longevity and it's not at all harsh on the sinuses (When you smell a perfume that almost burns your sinus like drinking a kids juice that's' so sweet it feels dry). It's a lovely warm weather scent that smells youthful and clean. The Aquatic and sweet mango coupled with the coconut is 10/10

Lovely summer scent with a great green note from the palm leaf. The mango is nice and prominent, the coconut is noticeable and the aquatic quality makes it great for summer heat. It's amazing for lasting considering it's a tropical green fresh scent. I'd totally repurchase this for summer once I finish the bottle. It's not overly sweet, so I think this would be a good unisex scent.

This is lovely, juvenile but at the same time for everyone. The lotus and mango blended so good together. The palm and aquatic notes makes it feel so fresh. I love it! From the bottle to the performance. It is also long lasting, Empress is next on my list. Soki you did it!

I love this scent so much! The mango top note is noticeable even in the dry down. I am currently waiting for my Christmas trip to a tropical country to use this and enjoy it outside. The projection and longevity are also great.

This is sweet and fruity and fun - summer in a bottle! I love this perfume. I have nothing quite like it in my collection. Young, carefree and definitely a scent to evoke memories of the sun and adventures enjoyed.

This is divine. As others say it is Summer in a bottle. The longevity is fantastic. Was getting compliments 4 hours later . For the price point this is a outstanding fragrance.

First impressions of this are overwhelmingly positive! I get a super creamy coconut and mango with a bit of aquatic vibes and palm leaf. A total love in the first hour!

This is juicy and tart 🥭 fun, young, and fresh! One of the few fruity scents I can actually wear. The mango seems to stick around which I love.

So reminds me of summer bin the sunshine. A very uplifting fragrance 🌴

Love the promo and the notes! Can't wait for my perfume to arrive!!

Lovley fresh fruity fragrance. Reminds me of summer holidays. :).

SUMMER. SUMMER. SUMMER. In a bottle bottle bottle.
