Mango Skin by Vilhelm Parfumerie is… okay. It opens with a burst of juicy mango that’s somewhere between ripe and slightly tart, like the kind of mango jam you’d slather on toast during a summer brunch. There’s a green, almost grassy undertone that tries to keep it grounded, but overall, it leans more sweet than sultry. It’s a vibe, but it’s not a statement.
I got the 20ml bottle, and honestly? That’s more than enough. It’s the kind of scent you spritz when you’re running errands or hanging out on a lazy Sunday. It’s nice to have around, but it’s not the one I’d grab when I want to feel glamorous or unforgettable.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting: Layer it with Phlur’s Mango Mood, and it’s like Mango Skin gets a glow-up. Mango Mood brings in that juicy, sun-drenched mango vibe, adding a sparkling brightness that lifts the whole composition. Suddenly, Mango Skin feels more playful, more alive — and way more my style. Alone, it’s a safe summer pick. But when paired? It’s got a little more bounce, a little more shine.
