Keep Glazed

Moonlight in Heaven was way too expensive for what it is. Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II...I liked but did not work for me, made me feel nauseous *not anymore*. So I’ve been on the hunt for a lactonic mango scent and I found it. The mango is prominent but balanced with slight greenness, lots of cream and supporting fruits (strawberry, etc). This is synthetic to my nose but it works and I don’t mind because it’s very nostalgic. This smells exactly like the Lip Glow fruity lipglosses from childhood and I would get this fragrance just for that. The Performance is also a plus but it’s not cloying. A non-citrus creamy refreshing scent. Hard to find that! Update: wearing it in summer has been amazing. The lemon comes out more in the heat. But it’s predominantly sweet mango cream, like an ice cream/sorbet sort of thing! More like ice cream indoors, when the sweet whipped cream comes out the most. More like an icy sorbet outdoors, when the lemon is brought out to balance the sweet mango and cream. It’s now less synthetic to me and occasionally mixing with Cruz del Sur II is really nice too. I just love mangos! Performance is still long and strong in this humidity. It also seems to get creamier and smoother with time. I’m still amazed at how well this works in summer heat. After trying so many mangos, this still hasn’t been knocked as my favorite mango. Still test this regardless of the easy-looking notes, because not everyone receives it the same. This may be too synthetic, sharp, green for some making it an unsafe blind-buy.

I personally don't get the whole "synthetic mango" vibe from this. Like yes, it isn't super natural smelling, but that's also because natural mangoes actually smell kind of weird, and also the mango is most prevalent in the opening, which is also typically the most synthetic part of all fragrances. To me, the opening is a really juicy, vibrant, and also pretty realistic mango smell. When I smell it, I genuinely get hungry. After the opening, when the mango fades, (which takes like 2 hours, 3 on clothes, which I love because my favorite part of this frag is the opening) I get a little bit of coconut but not a lot (which is fine by me, I don't like coconut) and also some ginger too. The only thing is, this fragrance loses power once that opening begins to fade, and so the coconut and ginger are barely noticeable, and at that point it just becomes a slightly fluffy kind of mango scent, possibly brought by that whipped cream. The mango stays throughout, and in the deep dry down, it gets more musky and stays slightly sweet. I really like this fragrance. It's mango done very well, that fades into a soft, fluffy, musky sweetness in the dry down. It makes for a perfect special occasion summer fragrance, or going out with friends, or maybe just a summer frag that you reach for when you're feeling freaky. It's the best mango frag I've ever tried. Overall, I rate this fragrance a 9.4/10

I bought this bottle at Scent Bar in NYC after testing a dozen or so perfumes. I tend to lean towards woodsy/citrus/green/floral not so much a fan of fruity scents, but this one was just so YUMMY! My sister-in-law's reaction to it was that it reminded her of orange julius/sherbert. While I can see a connection.. it does have that bright, creamy, mouth watering personality. On me, the whipped cream note is a fluffy, creamy vanilla accord. Ginger gives it a spicy kick to remind us this is an adult perfume. It's sexy, skin huffing inducing. I cannot stop smelling myself and this literally makes my mouth water. It definitely has a "tropical vibe" to it, and really screams SUMMER! This is a beast with longevity. 10+ hours and lasts and lasts on your skin and clothes. The dry down is beautiful too. Glowing skin musk, warmth from the woods and a touch of fruity sweetness. In a odd way, this reminds me of a Fruity sibling to Delina's sugary rose perfume. They don't smell anything alike, but they both have a similar punch of intensity, longevity, and a sweetness that seems almost too girly, but evolves into something really sexy on the skin.

The best mango scent. I've tried finding another mango in a more compact, travel-friendly bottle that's sweet and perfectly creamy, but still great for heat and humidity. I have yet to find one that beats Keep Glazed. The lemon, more like a sorbet than the tart fruit, adds just enough lift to the whipped cream, that is perfectly sweet without being too dense or lactonic. Something Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II couldn't do because the dried fruits thickened up the milk note, even though I've still worn it in heat. For all other mango releases, they seem to be more on the fresh side and smell more like a concoction of fruits, especially tart pineapple, to create an illusive scent of mango. Or they are too ripe, bordering rancid, or too green. I left a review back in 2022 and I just had to leave another, because 3 years later this has no competition. It's not synthetic on me, but I only wear this in the heat when it melts on my skin. So keep that in mind.

At first its nauseating and ultra sharp!!! I regretted spraying it for the first half hour... but then!!!! It becomes verrrryyy nice! Smells like wipped cream with very ripe mangos and a bit of passion fruit or some kind of tropical fruits and by the end of the day you coconut replaces those fruity notes and it becomes just wipped cream with ripe mangos and coconut cream. On the skin, it doesn't wear very long (at least not on me).. like 2hr max maybe, but on clothes it stays very well, gave me a 12+ hrs of wear! Bottom line - I really like it, it is now my favorite and only fruity parfume that I wear. It would be a perfect to wear on a vacation or summer, beach party !
