Salted Green Mango

This is my summer scent — it is fruity without being sweet, invoking notes of freshly cut mangoes and grapefruit plucked straight from the tree, tart and cold. It is aquatic without conjuring images of douchebags in linen on boats and it is beachy without smelling like coconuts; instead, it smells like a salty ocean breeze that hits your skin and combs through your hair as you're walking along the beach. It is perfect. Natural, stripped down summer without the sleaziness of a boozy bikini babe.

Umm...Yumm? I want to drink this stuff. Like a salty margarita. A bit sweet and minty. I layered with Perris Monte Carlo Mandarino di Sicilia and now I smell like a citrus salad. But YUM.

Just received the scent a few hours ago, so this is an initial review. I really like the scent. It's a fruity sweet scent. on the first spry(opening) I'm getting a citrus scent followed by a fruity sweet fragrance (it could be the mango, but as i never smelled the Thai green mango, i cannot confirm). the sweetness present is very well balanced (with touches of salt) and not overtake at all the fragrance. Very usable. Most likely i will be using this this during spring / summer on daytime (i think the perfect time for this fragrance should be during sunset) I'll update regarding Longevity and Sillage in a few days.

I love this fragrance and it’s the first one I bought a full bottle of from the Strangers line. It’s salty, sweet, tart, citrusy, juicy, and aquatic all at once. It really gets the back of your mouth watering for that cold margarita on a hot day in the summer.

Just quietly glorious! Is there anything Mr. Lomros can’t do?? I’m such a fangirl of this man’s creations, and being that I also love a good legend/tale/backstory, nearly every fragrance is as inspired as it is an inspiration. Whether joyous, playful and sparkling or dark, skanky and dirty, opulent or uncomplicated, most of Prin’s offerings say “real niche is back, outta my way, derivatives & flankers!” and I love his complex pieces that have accords lists that read like inventory at a Chinese apothecary emporium, as much as the simpler (but NEVER DULL!) blends. Salted Green Mango was introduced to me by a fragrance pal in Israel who has impeccable taste in parfumerie, as I was lamenting not being able to access a portion of the Pryn Parfum catalogue. It introduces itself as a bit grassy, very crisp, a bit wet and green, and the salty umami that I love is there from the first chapter onward, as a nice background hum (yeah, I’m going with book AND musical metaphors here). There’s a middle phase that is the tiniest bit too bitter for me, and I’d suspected my nemesis cypriol, but it could be the vetiver and citrus; I love vetiver but it hates me. However, this is doable in warmer weather, and this bitter bite tempers the acidic sweetness of all of that tropical fruit, that would likely slam into its wearer like a sticky-sweet “Good Hawaiian Punch!” (those who grew up in 1970s America will be familiar with this atrocity of TV advertising) without it. One can almost feel the back of the jaw tense with the sourness of the first bite of mango skin. Salted Green Mango is a juicy yellow-green edged in dusky apricot and ochre, and like all of Prin’s work, it is totally unique, and a quintessential, slightly quirky (but in no way “weird”), refreshing summer fragrance. I miss the myriad ethnic foods I used to enjoy in Los Angeles, and this is the closest I may get to the mango slices sold from little refrigerated carts downtown. Drenched in lime and chilli, with a little salt, eaten straight from a plastic baggie, with a plastic fork, I always tried to save some for later, but couldn’t leave a single slice before I even got back to the car. Heavenly. Prin really knows how to evoke wonderful emotions and memories with his fragrances, and it’s already a better summer because of Salted Green Mango and Aroon Sawat...
