Mangomallow Puff

Unfortunately went Flintstones on me

On first spray, I got some swirls of tart mango, and a creamy lactonic base with some sparse hints of pistachio, then... then... oh god! The mango turns into a wretched mango, which you will know well if you have ever had a wretched mango– one where, rather than having soft, syrupy melt-in-your-mouth flesh, it is stringy, astringent, and difficult to tear apart. The base turns chalky and loses the creamy texture, which in tandem with the mango creates a scent which distinctly reminds me of those old gross Flintstones vitamins in the hard tablet form. This was actually so hard for me to deal with that I had to remove the shirt I sprayed it on and change into something else so I wouldn't carry it with me. Coming home a few hours later and sniffing the shirt, the creamy base is once again able to peak out, but the overall Flintstones vitamin character is still dominant. Very unfortunate that this one didn't work for me as the notes sound delicious and with the small hints I caught that I enjoyed I feel as if I could've potentially liked it if the chemistry played with me better. I'll leave it to hibernate to see if anything improves.
