Mango

This is a review for The Body Shop Mango body mist and not the perfume! There is no option to review the mist so I'm leaving my review in this category. A lovely mango scent that isn't too sweet, but just the right amount of tropical fruitiness. For the summer I have been combining this with it's mango shower gel, and mango body butter which is my favourite body butter from The Body Shop. During the summer it can be a bit overwhelming to use fragrance regardless of how light the perfume you choose is. This has been perfect for me on most days, and combined with the other products from the line the scent lingers the whole day! If you enjoy mango, or tropical fruity perfumes such as; Escada Taj Sunset or Beyonce Heat Rush you will like this. x

To me this is a mood booster, for when you're getting down and dirty and need an uncomplicated sweetness that goes well on a sweaty armpit about an hour or max two. Two sprays each armpit, one below each ear, why not two above the heart. When you want your scent to comfort you, be the boundary between you and someone you may dislike, or simply tolerate. The smell of easy money. That's why I love it. Good to know it can easily be washed off or layered. Nothing can replace this one, it's a classic from Body Shop. It delivers like your favorite cheap candy brand, one you keep coming back to because of the memories and comfort. To have a nibble. It has warmth, but it's not comfortable enough to stand alone.

I picked this up not long ago and have nearly gone through half of it which for me is great news! I love it. It's like cutting open a fresh sweet mango! Very realistic smelling. Smells a lot like the Body Butter and Body Scrub to me. In case someone is wondering, on me it lasts longer that the body mists they brought out but not as long as most perfumes. Maybe 1-2 hours at best. I would have loved it if they had made it a EDP so it might have stayed around for longer but for the price that wont stop me from re-purchasing when I run out! A great Summer fragrance as I find it very refreshing!

Got the body mist of this which I use to layer over my perfumes to create my own signature scent, at present I'm using this to layer over Avons Rare Pearls, which gives that usually Clean white floral scent a fruity tropical vibe, with a deeper muskiness and a sweetened white honey. I sometimes spray it on its own after a shower for a quick pick me up, lasting power is average for a body mist, it lasts max 2 hours and is a skin scent after the first 15 minutes, but it's a body mist so no need to be mad about it. 8/10 for it's perky blast of Mango goodness.

Got this as well in body mist format. Absolutely love it but it is not a full perfume or scent for me, I use it a lot as a layering tool on other perfumes where a hint of the mango fits in well. I love it for that, but I can also see that someone might be disappointed getting ́ ́only ́ ́ mango if they haven ́t been informed. Love it for what it is, might repurchase for the specific role it fills among my scents but also can see an argument for it not being needed for most.
