Salted Green Mango

Smack! wallop! Let me assault you with something fantastically original!!! Something hard to describe easily at first because you just don’t get stuff like this every day!!! Dying to get this when first announced on Fragrantica I grabbed a bottle of this as well as Cigar and Rum Intense and Oliver as well as samples of every other scent in their line up. Such a fantastic relief to have something genuinely left field. First impressions : Green, Aquatic, Gourmand, Salt, Fresh. Sweetness tempered by a light dressing of salt (somewhat reminiscent of seaweed though by no means providing the briny impression that there is seaweed in it) over green mango. If you haven’t tried green mango in a Thai dish think of an unripened sweet Kensington or Calypso that is more pungent than normal at that stage. Adding to the freshness just over the top you have to me almost equal parts of pomelo, bergamot and the slight tartness and sweetness of guava giving a bit of body. All the other notes are there too though I find them flitting here and there and complimentary. If you would like a bracing fresh slightly dark in-depth green scents that’s not overly sweet and really want something completely new in an inoffensive scent with a reasonable scent bubble and longevity give this a go- it seriously rocks!

This scent really has two lives. The opening is very fruity: sweet and somewhat heavy, though lovely. I'm no fan of gourmands, and this is not a dessert fruit smell—more like the sweet smell of mango peel left out on the counter in the heat. After a half hour or so, the big fruit smell begins to gently fade away. At this point, I start to panic: "this can't be it, can it?" The mango with citrus playing in the background lingers as a skin scent for a few hours, slowly drying out in a lovely but intensely private way. However, just when I'm ready to write off the entire experience as over with, the scent's second life begins: its salty phase. The salt blooms so unexpectedly strong around the three or four-hour mark, and I think it's at this point that the whole scent really arrives. Here is the dry, dry, salty mango and a hint of something aromatic at the back of my throat (maybe the chile).I'm amazed at how it can stealthily fill up a room at this stage. This is an incredibly sexy saltiness—as if your sweat just naturally smelled like you went to the beach that morning, and there's a bowl of fruit ripening in the next room, windows open to the breeze. A summer evening stunner. Overall a gorgeous and surprising experience—absolutely full bottle worthy.

Salted Green Mango is an absolutely incredible, unique perfume! I ordered a sample because I had heard so many good things about it. I was unfamiliar with how seaweed, pomelo, guava, petigrain, gooseberry and elemi smelled so I was really unsure how much I'd like it, but since I love citrus/fruity/sweet perfumes, I decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did! The first notes I smelled (in this order) were mango, chili pepper, rose, magnolia, bitter orange and vetiver. I absolutely fell in love!! After awhile it blends together wonderfully and gives off a sensual, sexy, opulent, almost powdery, fruity scent as the vetiver becomes more noticeable. I like that it doesn't announce me as I enter a room, it stays close to the skin in a lovely, intensely private way and is long lasting. I find myself smelling my wrists throughout the day. I would definitely categorize this as more of a feminine fragrance than unisex. It can be worn in any season (day or night), but especially in the summer! It is office appropriate. I bought a full bottle of this unique, amazing perfume and look forward to wearing it in the spring, summer and fall. Longevity 8/10 Sillage 6/10 Projection 6/10

A sea under the rain... This is pure Mediterranean. I wasn’t expecting that at all! In my head it sits squarely in the citrusy-marine category and it captures the setting perfectly! Sweetness is kept at the lowest end, which is great news. I get a fresh sea-breeze effect, salt, bright citrus, an unripe mango nuance, and clean white florals. In the drydown, a vetiver thread shows up (slightly herbal and earthy) along with a faint seaweed impression. If I had to assign colors: sea blue, green mango, glossy lemon peel, and white flowers. Successful. Edit: On some days I started picking up the seaweed note so much that after a certain point I forgot about the mango: “salted green seaweed” Tag(s): Mediterranean, citrusy-marine, sea breeze, salty, unripe mango, white florals, seaweed, fresh, petrichor

Green, mildy fruity bittersweet opening of pithy citrus and under-ripe tropical fruits with a good dose of crunchy salt crystals. Rapidy adds warmth of chilli and a soft blush of rose. Eventually the aromatic iodine 'seaweed' accord comes into play a couple hours in. Oh, and from the very start to end, I found vetiver to be extremy apparent, without being TOO bossy. Salted Green Mango is a super interesting take on the Marine fragrance genre, and I particularly enjoy that it has been constructed in a totally different way to the usual contenders (Sel Marin, Atlante, Megamare etc) Performance is OK, but hits skinscent within two hours for a total five-ish hours of wear. Looking forward to liberally spritzing this on my upcoming cruise around the Australian Gold Coast whilst soaking up the sun!

I really enjoy this scent. It's atypical- being a crisp, green Mango with salt, seaweed, and chilli, rather than the juicy and sweet variety more familiar to westerners- but still very wearable. A great summer scent, stays bright and fresh even in swelteringly hot and oppressive conditions. Reminds me of my mom, who grew up in the Philippines and loves salt on sour fruits. I don't catch the rose note at all, mercifully, as rose can very quickly turn me off to an otherwise great scent. Do I love it enough to buy a full bottle? Not on these mercifully rainy afternoons, but ask me again during the height of the heat next summer. 8/10

The fragrance starts with something sea-like, perhaps seaweed, and quickly morphs into the green mango! Green unripe mango is very different from the yellow sweet one we normally find in the supermarkets. It has a more greenish, sour, crispy smell and flavour. In Thailand it is eaten with a dip sauce that is spicy-sweet-salty-sour and this can be recognized in the dry down of the fragrance. Later on it dries down to a more general fruity fragrance, but not too sweet, just perfect. It stays close to the skin but is long lasting. Unique and unisex.

Super unique, super fresh, and super refreshing! Like nothing I've ever smelled before. I absolutely love this scent! When I first sprayed this scent, I was absolutely shocked to find it was so incredibly sour! I began to salivate as if I had eaten a lemon, and I was delighted that the dry down was as tantalizing as the initial scent! Great unisex frag for the summer months! Performs well in heat and stays refreshing without becoming overbearing. Will be purchasing a full bottle for a good friend of mine.

This is my summer scent — it is fruity without being sweet, invoking notes of freshly cut mangoes and grapefruit plucked straight from the tree, tart and cold. It is aquatic without conjuring images of douchebags in linen on boats and it is beachy without smelling like coconuts; instead, it smells like a salty ocean breeze that hits your skin and combs through your hair as you're walking along the beach. It is perfect. Natural, stripped down summer without the sleaziness of a boozy bikini babe.

This is brilliant and unique. I wasn't sure of what to expect, and the opening leans very masculine on me (not something I enjoy on myself). The longer I wore it, the more I adored it. I'm not great with notes (always working toward that), but agree with the excited reviews here. So Cool, fresh, clean, and green. I wish that I got any of the sweetness others have described, I don't. That wont stop me from buying a bottle and dousing myself regularly. Perfect for summer.

Very salt-forward. The opening is like a blend of hard, starchy mango with some grapefruit (pomelo) and a healthy dose of Chili, which is actually very enjoyable, and brings a unique warmth to to what I’m smelling. If you’ve ever been to a very hot country and in a rocky location, it smells like those hot rocks. Wearing this perfume brings the hot holiday smell with you, instead of cutting through it. Definitely the best I’ve tried from the house. 9/10

I spent all summer looking for a unique fresh aquatic and I found it! I love this smell. The sour mango is there as well as a distinctly aquatic smell and a little bit of spice to give it a bit of a sexy twist. This is not a designer perfume if you are more used to the synthetic nose feel of department store stuff; it does feel a little more quirky to me, very realistic foodie, something you’d wear to a beach party, not necessarily to work.

A dry, crisp, refreshing fragrance with really good ocean notes. Reminds me of my beloved Acqua di Sale, but where that one is almost oily and dense, Salted Green Mango is lighter. It lifts off the skin in a cloud of salt, crunchy green fruit with not a trace of sugar, and just the tiniest hint of red pepper. Truly divine. Perfect for hot weather. It stays strong on the skin for about 4 hours but traces will linger even into the next day.

A bitter, pithy, underripe fruit coated with a light sprinkle of salt and chili powder. No sweetness to be had here. It's so nice that this scent is linear! Salted Green Mango doesn't lose its tartness on the dry-down and remains a fragrance with a little bite all the way through its wear. Perfect for warm weather if you want something a little different. This is the longest-lasting green fragrance I've tried so far. Well done.

You're the first moment after sour candy touches the tongue, "tart," that quick punch in the face and all of the body's reactions that follow--the eyes shut, the lips purse, the mouth waters and gushes to counter! Jolting! Juicy! Tongue-tingling! You're the reason for so, so many dares and all of the laughs that follow. Enjoy responsibly. Salted Green Mango by Strangers Parfumerie.

idk how you'd disslike this scent. It's a super bitter/green undergrown mango smell which has hints of marine and citrusy vibes from seaweed and pomelo. The salty vibe is reaaally small and quite unnoticeable imo. I'd say you definitely shouldn't expect something like god of fire, it's nowhere near that. There isn't much else to say about this one. an 8.8/10 for me.

On card it smelled so repugnant I assumed I'd never use up my decant. However, on the skin it's a different story, it's very salty and the chilli radiates off the skin, without turning too culinary. The mango is really an afterthought, although the general vibe of the perfume is tropical, so it's a fitting name anyway.

A salty clean marine scent with a chili pepper spices wrapped around and guava barely peaking out to be noticed. This gives me mexican spicy candy in a good way. Such a good gym scent if you want something a little bit different but still want that clean smell vibe!

I love this fragrance and it’s the first one I bought a full bottle of from the Strangers line. It’s salty, sweet, tart, citrusy, juicy, and aquatic all at once. It really gets the back of your mouth watering for that cold margarita on a hot day in the summer.

Beautiful green scent. Mango tannins and unripe elements makes this remarkable. Captured it! Smell the salt. Though I gotta eat more green mango pickles to understand the thought behind this fragrance. Love it, great job Prin!
