📋Review of Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss by Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 edp

-


Not a love at first sniff but my love grew deeper and deeper with each wear. The first time smelled more herbal and leathery. The second wear became more creamy and leathery than herbal. The more I wore it, the less herbally it smelled but rather more creamy leathery mango. The mango scent stays almost throughout the whole wear except for the dry down, and although I’m not a big leather fan, somehow Mr. Lucas did it right. The force is strong with this one (Star Wars reference for those that did not get it). Mango Kiss is the most luxurious mango scent I’ve ever laid my nose on.

⚠️ NOT SPONSORED/GIFTED

•

 #️⃣ of sprays tested (4 skin / 0 shirt)

2 on each arm

•

⏳ Longevity: 

6 hrs. on me but 9hrs+ on my husband (he only sprayed it once on his arm 😳)

•

👠 Occasion:

Any occasion except casual, not the best t-shirt and jeans scent (unless you’ve dressed it up a bit with gold jewelry)

•

🌸☀️🍂❄️ Season: 

All seasons. The creamy leathery facet make this scent great for the fall and winter but the juicy mango makes this also a summer/spring scent.

•

👩‍⚖️Verdict: 👍

This is pricey, so does it compete with the rest of the competitors in this price range? I would say that this is not a crowd pleaser. Definitely not blind buy safe, because it wears differently on different skin (more creamy for some people and more leathery on me). Not as safe as Baccarat Rouge 540, Initio Musk Therapy, BDK Gris Charnel but the uniqueness is what drew me to this. I wanted something different from what everyone else was wearing, and Mango Kiss was exactly that. Unique enough but also versatile to wear year round, so for me, it was  worth every penny. 🙏Special thanks to @itsonlyhayley_x for introducing me to this gem 💎

📋Review of Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit cologne

 #️⃣ of sprays tested: 1,000,000 on skin & shirt (I’m exaggerating but you know Jo Malone scents don’t last) • ⏳ LONGEVITY: 3-4 hours but only if you over spray  • 👠 OCCASION: cozy • 🌸☀️🍂❄️ SEASON: fall/winter • 👩‍⚖️VERDICT: 👍 The bottle is what drew me in and although I don’t own a single Jo Malone scent, because of their poor performance to high price ratio, I wanted to give this one a try. I am not a ginger lover, so the opening was a kick in the nose, but as the scent evolves, the ginger turns into a gingerbread cookie and the increasing vanilla in the drydown leaves me with biscoff cookie. I am actually happy about the lack of longevity, because it helps make this a more wearable scent. Ginger and cinnamon can be overwhelming for me when they are strong, so I appreciate the toned down spices in this masterpiece. 🙏Special thanks to @lolascenttrail for letting me try this wonderful piece.  • 🛍️ PURCHASED AT: macy’s • [top] ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg [mid] cara...

📋Review of Carioca Heart by Jusbox edp

-

Starts out like a mango pineapple daiquiri with a hint of rum (not boozy in any means). This mix drink is for the lightweights, the ones who like their cocktails more juicy/sweet than alcohol-y. Then the sandalwood and ambroxan kicks in, giving it a slight rubbery scent on me, but this gets better with each wear. Also, I am not a fan of either notes because my skin tends to turn rubbery, but not terrible in Carioca Heart. The drydown is where I hit gold: the sandalwood gives a creamy touch to the vanilla. The mango is still present but in the background with a slight kick of labandanum. • 👃Perfumer: unknown •  #️⃣ of sprays tested ( 4 skin ) 2 on each arm • ⏳ LONGEVITY: 6 hrs. • 👠 OCCASION: casual/vacation  I imagine wearing this to the pool, cruise, beach, tropical island.  • 🌸☀️🍂❄️ SEASON: summer • 🚹🚺 SCENT LEANS: unisex  Although the opening is sweet and fruit, as this dries down, the sandalwood and labdanum adds a more masculine side. Therefore, this one le...

📋Review of Lait de Coco by Le Monde Gourmand edp

-
The milky white liquid gives this scent a resemblance to coconut milk. It’s not overly creamy but more of a watery coconut (with very slight sun tan vibes but quickly fades). I don’t like to drink coconut milk but if it had a scent, this is what I imagine it to smell like. Not cloying or heavy, perfect for high heat. ⚠️UPDATE: I  tried coconut milk just to give you a real comparison and yes, this is coconut milk but not as milky but more watery. •  #️⃣ of sprays tested (4 skin) 2 on each arm • ⏳ LONGEVITY: 2-3 hrs • 👠 OCCASION: casual, vacation, pool, daytime • 🌸☀️🍂❄️ SEASON: summer • 👩‍⚖️VERDICT: 👍 I like it. Ok, we know the longevity is not there, but it’s what makes it a great layering scent. I’m not big on sun tan lotion coconut smell because it’s overpowering, but this is just enough coconut where it’s a little creamy and refreshing. Great for summertime by the beach or everyday wear. • 🛍️ PURCHASED AT:  Official website but can be found at discounters (Marshal...
