From the brand - "Black Mango is the essence of indulgence and desire, bottled. It opens with the juicy sweetness of ripe mango and the zesty brightness of orange essential oil, instantly flooding your senses like biting into a perfectly ripe mango. As the scent deepens, the creamy richness of mango lassi blends with the warm, seductive notes of bourbon vanilla and resinous tolu, evoking a delicious, irresistible pull. But it doesn’t stop there—the base dives into the dark, smoky allure of oud, supple leather, earthy sandalwood, and spicy cypriol. Black Mango captures the raw, primal pleasure of savoring every last bite, down to the core—bold, addictive, and unforgettable."
Fragrantica - "Mango opening is nice but the drydown for me is where its at. It harsh, heavy, I definitely get a faint gasoline vibe mixed with leather and a light oud and there is something animalic/body odourish that is a turnoff but also addictingly keeps me coming back and smelling. It has one of those smells that your nose tells you you shouldnt like but your brain is turned right on and you just cant help yourself.
The scent lasts all day. Light all frigging day. Kabukimono below me hit the nail in the head. Described it exactly as I was fumbling trying to do. This scent is a 9.5/10 for me"
Fragrantica - "the opening smells like plucking an overripe mango off the tree. it's so ripe that it has already lost some of its sweetness to the funky sour flavour that consumes fruits as they ferment. mango is certainly the focal point, but i can clearly smell the environment as well. it's syrupy; oozing nectar through the mushy and wrinkly peel. i can smell the green leaves and soil too, well-fertilized with manure and the fallen mangoes that have begun to decay on the ground. as it dries down, my plucked mango meets the same fate. it turns from orange to brown and white; the freshness fades and i can smell it rotting. it's a little fecal, but still recognizably mango. there's something else animalic in there. something sexual."
Fragrantica - "Black Mango from BTSO Perfumed by Violaine Collas has a photorealistic mango opening with a smoky oud funk (though not as much as I'd like), I feel it's oudian adjacent and similar to some other fruity leather-oud fragrances on the market. The mango lassi creaminess with subtle vanilla is a nice touch. Certainly an artistic blend and this could be the best mango scent I've smelled from a fragrance. Highly wearable and a must try if you have the opportunity."
Fragrantica - "Once you get past the opening, this one mellows out beautifully! Very nice mango, orange, vanilla and leather that blend together seamlessly. This is like a niche, more unisex version of Power Of You with animalic undertones. Monster performance, last for ages and projects strongly. This was a great pick up!"
