Under The Mango Tree

1000 stars. As many stars as possible. This is my favorite scent and it lasts so long. I wore it to my job at one of the top 5 fashion weeks, and so many people asked about it. I even keep one of the little bottles in my car. The other scents I got in the sample pack were great, but mango tree is my favorite!!!

From the very first spray, Under the Mango Tree whisks me away to a sun-dappled garden, where the air is thick with the scent of green mango skin, tomato leaf, grapefruit, and bergamot. Each note sings on its own, yet they blend into something so refreshing and serene… like sipping an aromatic tonic on a garden terrace that has seen a thousand summers. Just when I think it can’t get more beautiful, a fresh rose begins to bloom. It’s fresh, dreamy, and somehow makes the whole experience feel like I’m being transported.. perhaps to the very place where these ancient, sacred mango trees grow. The way the rose intertwines with the still-present mango is nothing short of magical. Like they were always meant to find each other. This is, without question, the most unique and beautiful mango fragrance I’ve ever encountered. As it settles, the rose lingers and gives way to a quiet base of fir balsam, pine wood, and warm hay. It feels like the wind has picked up just as the sun begins to dip behind the trees. There’s a grounded calm in the base..rooted, steady, and so comforting. Under the Mango Tree leaves me feeling as if I’ve received a gift from the tree itself. The way it offered up its green, sun-warmed fruit to meet that radiant rose felt like an impartation..quiet and powerful. As if this tree gives without asking. And in return, it reminds me of the beauty that often goes unseen, but not unfelt. We sense it. We smell it. And somehow, it changes us.

Under the Mango Tree was a gift to my senses and beyond. My experience is transportive, transformative, soulful, and absolutely unforgettable. I’m in unexpected awe. Truly.

green fresh mango scent, very evocative

The moment I first smelled this fragrance, I knew it would be in my full bottle collection. This is an artful rendition of mango, a mango tree, and rosewater. There are hints of the woody trunk and branches and some of the leaves, but the opening really centers on the scent experience of peeling green mango skin. Further into the drydown, everything in washed in rosewater. Absolutely gorgeous!

I am so impressed by how accurate this scent is - it truly smells like someone has just freshly skinned a green mango. At first, it smells mostly like green mango, fresh and grassy, and then it later settles into something sweeter and smoother. I LOVE this scent! My only gripe is that of all of Anjali's creations, this one has the least sillage, and it almost immediately becomes a skin scent that other people can't smell on me. Would be perfect if it had stronger projection, although that might just be partly how it reacts with my skin chemistry.
