Soleil de Jeddah - Mango Kiss

STÉPHANE HUMBERT LUCAS 777 Soleil De Jeddah Mango Kiss This is the most realistic fruity scent I've ever tested. This perfume opens up like a juicy natural Mango, just like biting into a ripe fruit and the juice is bursting out between your teeth. There is nothing synthetic or cloying vibe in this in any moment from the opening until the fruity creamy end. As this is not synthetic and the smell of mango is overpowering compared to others this is not so long lasting on it’s own. After 3-4 hours I had to spray more if I wanted to wear same scent but since I wear this kind of scent on the beach or maybe at the gym, the short longevity is not a problem for me. After those hours I maybe would change the scent anyway - but not because this is not good. This is as delicious as you can imagine! From those notes I really get Mango, Mango and Mango, and after the opening a beautiful delicious coconut, like a coconut sorbet and creamy Vanilla on the base. Other notes are really well blended there that it’s difficult to notice those. So if you don’t like some of those notes, don’t let those fool you. Coconut and Vanilla are really neutral as well. Mango Kiss name is well deserved, this is really mouthwatering! Maybe some of you is interesting what different is in this compared to God of Fire : this is MUCH more delicious and fruity juicy feeling lasts a way longer. It actually last until it fades away. It doesn’t change like GoF changes first from light fruity to woody notes and after that there is left just soft Amber Musk blend. On the other hand God of Fire is more complex and it's creamier. It's more versatile as well since Mango Kiss is so clearly the beach scent or for hot days. The best weather for this is summertime, no doubt. Personally I only wear this kind of scent on the beach. I spray it into my clothes and hair and get whiff here and there when the scent is dancing with the wind. This scent has been made to overspray. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗

While God of Fire is full of the aromachemicals that Erba Pura and Terenzi's house has (I struggle with them), Mango Kiss has it for me. If you don't like orris (a slightly dusty but also buttery one here) or herbal touches proceed with caution as this fragrance is not just mango, these notes are key too and they make the scent innovative and complex. Not as beastly as GOF but the longevity and projection are average on me, 7 hours projecting within arm's lenght so I am totally ok with it. I don't get any synthetic fruit in here which is weird to me as I tend to perceive fruit accords as synthetic/cheap smelling. This mango is made to be worn all year long, best when the weather isn't extremely cold or hot. It is sweet but totally unisex in my opinion, maybe a bit tad feminine if you are a man used to leather and dry woody scents but I see how some women could perceive as a bit masculine due to the herbal quality of the chamomile and the unmistakable orris butter. And yes it is sweet, but not gourmand or extremely sweet... nevertheless the ylang ylang and coconut contribute to the sweetness and even though I am not passionate about these notes, they totally work here. Balsamic accords tend to overwhelm me but the benzoin this fragrance has just helps the vanilla and orris to creathe an intriguing base.I love SDJMK.

I tried the original one years ago and apparently gave it a dislike? Maybe it was too soapy 🤷♀️ This version, despite the name, isn’t particularly fruity on me. I do get the mango, but I need to really search for it to pick it out, it mainly lends a sweet and slightly sour aspect to everything (which, as much as the term annoys me, is all very “well blended”) The sweetness isn’t too much, but enough to reign in the orris and chamomile preventing them from heading straight into aromatic town. That powdery sweet chamomile gives me a little Mémoire d’une Odeur vibes (which I also love), but in a smoothed out creamy way. Mémoire is definitely bracing herbal tea with sugar and Mango Kiss is an expensive mango kakigori at a fusion hotspot. Despite its powdery elements it still shines in brutal heat. It should scream “high summer” — but the aromatic tinge will also make it great in early fall IMO. (Which I guess will be December here 😭🥵).

My favorite note - if done right - is coconut so my review is bias from that perspective BUT I just got a sample of this and I love it so much. The main player is a beautiful ripe mango; super juicy, sweet, creamy and almost a bit tart at the same time. The realistic mango is blended with a luxurious creamy coconut, a warm benzoin and is given a slightly herbal touch by what I think is the camomile. Some coconut scents can smell almost plasticity or artificial - this one definitely doesn’t. It’s smooth, luscious and simply beautiful. I just want to keep inhaling it. Could be worn all year but extra perfect for spring and summer evenings. Im sad it’s so expensive because I’ll need to bring this into in my collection.

I bought Mango Kiss to wear on holiday in Egypt, I wanted something summery but also with depth and I must say it was an amazing choice. The first time I wore it I went to the bar to order my drink and asked one of the staff about the menu, he was trying to explain to it me but I noticed he kept stumbling over his words, he stopped looking at the menu, looked up at me and let out an actual GIGGLE whilst blushing and said “oh my god I’m so sorry it’s just that your fragrance is fantastic”. So Yh this fragrance is so pretty it will have grown men giggling and blushing like school girls lol. When I first wore it I found it a bit weird because of the herbal note, but it has really grown on me and I LOVE wearing it

this is an awesome mango based fragrance, has a buttery quality to it due to the chamomile, coconut & orris butter combination. for those asking on how this compares to god of fire, i would say mango kiss is more aromatic, creamy and less loud. this gives out sort of a sunscreen/lotion vibe whereas god of fire is more tropical/fruity, spicy and louder. god of fire also has that musk-cypriol combination which is lovely imo and that is missing in mango kiss. overall, i prefer god of fire but i will also admit mango kiss is amazing but im not sure if the extra 50 euros for mango kiss is justified though. the performance for this is also good, on par with god of fire in my experience. 9.5/10 (-0.5 for price)

This fragrance is so delightful and summery but in the brightest and most grown up way. It's juicy with restraintful tact. The mango note is perfect, not too green, sour or sweet. The chamomile balances the fruit and punchy floral giving this an herbal earthiness anchored by the coconut. It has a powdery lactonic quality that never tires out. Upon the first couple of wearing of this I was reminded of Sincere by Contradictions in ILK. They are both comforting and even tho one features mango and the other peach the lactonic quality they share is spot on. Not spot on dupes of one another but on same family tree. Sincere is half the price and easily obtainable on Krystal Fragrances in USA

I agree with everyone who said the mango here is green. I think that's a good thing; it avoids smelling like rotten fruit. I don't really smell the coconut here, but it's okay. It's quite a classy, versatile fragrance with great projection and longevity. Do I think it's worth the price of a full bottle? I'll have to try Miu Miu Fleur de Lait and get back to you on that. Edit: So I wore Mango Kiss to a night out. I got complimented on it, and it lasted the whole night. Problem is, by the end of it, all I got was this very bitter medicinal smell. Still unsure if I should get a bottle, or go with other mango scents that don't have the bitterness.

This is the most natural, realistic and juicy mango scent ever. Every note is perfectly balanced from opening to dry down. It’s darker and deeper than most fruity scents I’ve tried, but not dense or headache inducing and it never gets cloying. Perfect for hot spring days and summer, especially summer nights. On my skin this lasts 8-10+ hours, on clothes I still get whiffs after 24h. This is a unisex scent, but I can imagine some people thinking it smells, or at least leans, feminine. This is much more delicious, fruity and juicy compared to God of Fire from the same house. It’s also darker/deeper and more natural smelling. I prefer this.

Omg what a stunner. This is exactly what I would want from a fruity niche fragrance that is more grown up than the typical fruity designer fragrances that I shy away from - the ones that turn into that familiar sticky sweet sweaty ickiness. This has a gorgeous rich (but not heavy) base lending from the coconut, vanilla and amber. And a wonderful slight bitterness from I assume the chamomile note, which tones down the sweetness. Grown up but youthful and playful at the same time. I compared this to SHL God of Fire and this is far superior. God of Fire is a little more on the generic fruity side. Mango Kiss is a winner!

About time Mango Kiss was added to the database. This house (imo) is an acquired taste but Mango Kiss is one I can easily pull off and I'm not a huge lover of fruity frags. This is your Mango that is safe for cool weather, as to my nose there is a hint of a resinous quality in the background that makes it interesting, complex, warm and sexy. None of the other notes jump out to me on my skin, besides the ripe Mango...but you know there is something else going on. The blend here is pretty seamless. Layers nicely with Hauts Bijoux or Cruz Del Sur 2 in warm weather. Definitely worth a sniff.

A juicy green/orange colored mango that is a little spicy and smooth (the greenness, smoothness and slight spice comes from the chamomile) With sour-sweet coconut milk all over it, and a slightly creamy vanilla base. I would say: 50% mango 30% coconut, and 20% is all of the vanilla / amber / iris butter. could wear at winter but i'd prefer more wintery smells lol. wouldn't wear it on more than 30 celsius temperature. very good projection on my skin which is quite acidic (usually evaporates fragrances quicker) afer 3.5 hours i got a compliment on it outside. 8.5/10 overall

I had a sample from Scent Split last year but after a day's wear and a barely-there sillage, I put it back and over the last 9 months, 75% evaporated BUT! The maceration /oxygen seemed to have deepened and strengthened the scent and now I still smell it in my radius some 5 hours later from just two sprays! It is superb and is easily now my fave mango scent (a note I love) I want to try the original Soleil de Jeddah too. Sand Dance is my fave SHL, so far. If you love mango, buy a decant of 5 /10ml and use a spray then keep for a good few months

I bought this two years ago, and when I first got the full bottle it smelled too sharp, the chamomile felt herbal and dominant, and the mango wasn’t as creamy as I remembered. Now it’s completely different. The mango feels smooth and sparkling, and the herbal edge has softened. In the drydown I almost get a vanilla icecream. Always amazed on how different people perceive it: my husband smells something “weed-like,” while a coworker told me I smell like baby powder.

Finally after almost one year left sitting in my wardrobe and today, in a midwarm spring morning I can totally get the mango-coconut scent what everybody's talking about! This beauty just needs to macerate to be a real beautifule and unique unisex scent. Now the camomille is not too sharp anymore, the whole composition is rounded and smooth, creamy yet freshie. It's a big love for spring and summer!

This is a very unique and different take on mango - the Paco Rabanne one, Mango Skin, etc. all felt too juicy and overly sweet to me. Here the mango is mixed with chamomile, leather, coconut - it has a very calming, balmy, creamy base with a touch of sharp greenness that adds a beautiful spark to the fragrance. I love the mango because it smells very natural. Absolutely stunning!!!

Per the SHL website, the notes are: Top, Mango -Wild Chamomile Oil -Orange Blossom; Middle, Ylang Ylang - Amber - Coconut; Base, Iris butter – Siam Benzoin - Vanilla from Madagascar. This really projects on my skin. I find it resinous, not light, and mango is the perfect fruit pairing as it is deeply sweet and rich. It's a love for me.

Mango Kiss is a total winner! Even though mango is the star of the show, the other notes make it feel sweet, sophisticated, and super luxurious. It's like a tropical getaway in a bottle. The fragrance lasts forever, and the juice is top-notch. Every time you smell it, you'll get a burst of juicy, COLD, and fresh mango goodness.

my personal favourite of this house. i like it very much and disagree with people saying its synthetic. to me its almost photorealistic. has a clean, soapy undertone but it doesnt steal the mangos show. very unique and creamy, somewhat buttery full bottle worthy to me. i recommend everyone to try this once in their life.

layer this with any vanilla for more sweetness. fire at will, anything salty vanilla would work as well. i like it but the mango is not too ripe and i like my sweetness in scents. tbh if it already had more vanilla this could have been a mugler aura flanker due to how green it is
