I feel bad coming here to leave a critical review but it's because I LOVE all little bee scents and I'm surprised when one doesn't hit, but this one did not hit for me. It's extremely potent and it's a great scent for people who like sweet, thick, fruity scents but to me it smells profoundly of sour candy, or a blue raspberry jolly rancher or something. Super syrupy, not so much real fruit, no green notes. Bubblegum city! Sometimes mangoes do have bubblegum notes, but this one is dominantly sour bubblegum to me.

Oh my gosh, this fragrance truly is extraordinary, and even more so in soap! It's hands-down the best Mango fragrance I've ever used. And my kids keep telling me how great the house smells!

In cold process, it behaves beautifully and slows down trace. It does discolor to a light-medium brown color (looking at Pantone, it's a perfect match with their Café au lait color), mine is 3 weeks into the cure (used at 5%) so I doubt it'll get any darker at this point. And boy does it retain scent! I am sitting and sniffing a bar as I write this and cannot get enough.

For a fancier bar, I reserved a small percentage of the batter, left it unscented and colored with bright peaches, yellows and pinks. These were then swirled into the main, scented batch and turned out quite lovely! I rarely keep discoloring fragrance oils on hand as I prefer to focus on designs more, but this one is a keeper for sure.

Don't miss out!

Fresh in your face mango..not fake in any way. Just juicy!
