Fruit Défendu

Is this worth $324AUD? Yes yes & yes!!!! At first, you think "what's so amazing about this?" But then, there's hardly any mango perfumes out there, and this one is so classy and elegant. Fruit perfumes don't usually last that long, but fruit etendu has exceptional longevity. It doesn't project that well though. It is very yummy and I can't stop smelling my skin. Not the most photorealistic mango ( I was born and brought up in a tropical country) but definitely a fair interpretation. A unique one to add to my collection. Pros: *Unique * Long lasting * Classy n elegant * A fruit perfume done really well: well blended, well balanced, no irritating notes, very feminine. I use body shop mango shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, then the body shop mango body butter then this. Layering is not really necessary but why not? Mango 🥭 overload 😋😋

I smelt this is Selfridges and fell in love! We truly do like what we like, because it seems all off the perfumes I am drawn to contain white musk. This is the sweetest but also most sophisticated fragrance I have smelt in a while. It slightly reminds me of Grand Soir by MFK. I would like to have this perfume to replace my Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming

Juicy, lovely mixture of rose and bergamot with pink pepper and a touch of patchouli. It smells very fruity indeed, with strong effect of mango and pineapple, with a warm base and piccante middle notes.

I’m getting something completely different. I spritzed the sample on myself without looking at what it was (removing the power of suggestion!) and I immediately thought Christmas! This so reminds me of Christmas fruit cake and pine needles mashed together. I really like it- it’s very festive! If I look at the notes I get it.. I can smell both now, but primarily mango and bergamot which reads as ‘red berries’ to my nose. Musk is kind of a killer here for a tropical vibe since it makes me think of a cold weather scent. I will wear this fragrance for the holidays! :-)

This may be the only pineapple themed fragrance I've ever really liked, even though it quickly becomes tropical fruit salad, albeit in a refined, adult way.
