Christian Provenzano Mangostino Extrait

Description

Mangostino is a daring encounter between the untamed tropics and the ancient East, where sun-drenched mango groves meet the smoky hints of oud resin. It opens with a burst of ripe, golden fruit (mangosteen, pineapple and raspberry with pepper), softens into a heart of mango, Moroccan rose and geranium, and drops into a deep, smoldering base of leather, oud, Cambodian oud, guaiac wood, patchouli, vanilla, ambergris and musk.

Performance

We did not find a reliable consensus on hours of wear, so we will not quote one. Reviewers agree that the oud is dominant in the heart and base and that the scent can shift between a leathery oud and a dark, fruity oud on skin. Expect a bold, noticeable presence; a little goes a long way, and results vary with skin and weather.
