Mango Manga is largely a tropical summer fragrance, with very sweet and fruity undertones. This is largely due to a juicy and over-ripe mango accord, which is intertwined with some heady white florals. As a result, it verges more on the feminine side. It's also more of a fun fragrance and doesn't take itself too seriously, thus forsaking any aspects of adult sophistication.
Its lasting power is somewhere between four to six hours, with just below average sillage. However, one's main complaint lies in the drydown – once the lush mango and florals subside, all that remains are light and creamy woody vanilla whispers. Regardless, it's still a very unique creation that deserves some credit.
Mango Manga was originally a Japanese exclusive (with the inclusion of a popular genre of Japanese comics in the name) but has now been granted a wider release.
