Ripe mango dropped into oud, and it works.
Mango, ambrette seed, bergamot, lemon and mandarin open juicy, blackcurrant, orris and osmanthus bridge into the animalic side, and oud, oakmoss, tonka, vanilla and ambroxan smooth the close.
Perfumed by: David Chieze
KSI Take: Osmanthus is the hinge between fruit and oud here, and it is the clever part that stops the whole thing reading as novelty. The vanilla and ambroxan base is comfortable but generic, so the top half is where the money is.
