Montale

Mango Manga

Mango Manga by Montale is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mango, sweet orange and neroli, moves into jasmine, orange blossom and ylang-ylang and dries down to cedarwood, vetiver and oakmoss. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Mango Thick, sweet and tropical. Creamy rather than sharp.
• Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
• Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.

Heart

• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
• Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.

Dry-down

• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
• Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
