About mango
Mango, with its rich, juicy essence, is a beloved fruity note that brings a tropical and exotic flair to fragrances. Its olfactory profile is a delightful amalgamation of sweetness and tanginess, reminiscent of the ripe fruit itself. This note is celebrated for its ability to add a succulent, mouth-watering quality to compositions, making it a popular choice for summer fragrances and fruity-floral blends. Mango can vary from being at the forefront, offering a bold and unmistakable aroma, to subtly enhancing the background of a fragrance, where it lends a gentle, sun-kissed sweetness. In perfumery, mango is not just about the fruit's pulp; it also encapsulates the lush, green freshness of the mango tree, adding layers of complexity and depth to fragrances.

Perfumer's Tips
Mango is typically used as a top or middle note to inject a burst of freshness and sweetness into a fragrance. It works best in moderate concentrations to avoid overpowering the composition. Given its vibrant character, it's often used in summer and spring releases, and in daytime fragrances.
