A very interesting perfume. It's sweet, clean, tropical, warm, orangy, fruity, and spicy all in one. When I first smelled it, I thought it resembled orange chewing gum, so I was a bit disappointed. But it quickly developed into a strong ginger scent, much like the fresh ginger root. Fresh ginger is sweet with a slight fruitiness, but it's also hot and spicy. Mambo showcases ginger very well. It's not the dried variety that smells like gingerbread, thankfully. I was pretty worried it would smell like gingerbread. In the drydown, I get heavy orange blossoms and ylang ylang. Mambo is suitable for hot weather. It's like J-Lo's fragrances, but not so saccharine sweet and just the right amount of spice for sexiness, yet it won't be harsh like Opium or anything like that. Lasting strength and projection are average. This is not my favorite perfume by any means, but for what I paid, I am more than satisfied with the quality.
This smells horrible on me. I wanted to like it but it just smelled awful on my skin...such a shame...
I adore this fragrance. I love how sultry and sexy it makes me feel. It's unique and sensual, and a little exotic. It's a winner for sure!
I just can't get enough. I still get oohss & aahss when I wear. Hard to find. Usually find @ gordmons
Guys or girls. The bottles look the same in a dimming light. So I accidentally sprayed this one on my wrist at a neighbors house. Yikes!
So let me just sum it up. It was kinda plasticky fake flowers smell at the start and I didn't find it pleasant at all. Then I got spicy ginger and some clean soapy mangoey smell. It wasn't exactly fruity here, but definitely floral and a bit old fashion. As it dried, it became clean light fresh powdery floral and it was better. Well, it didn't last all that long. I just now barely smell it after 5 hrs.
This is not the fruity floral scent that I have in mind. It's not modern enough to keep up with today's market, especially if it is really fruity floral. But it was interesting to try.
First: "Country Fresh" bugspray.
Second: Nice but not outstanding floral-y vanilla.
And that's it. I wore it for about two hours, and while I didn't hate it, there's a lot more scents out there that I really like.
Top notes are wonderfully Mambo: Fruity, energetic, sensual... however, Mambo is a hot dance. They really should've kept the base notes softer, especially the vanilla and musk. It would've been lighter and not so cloying after the drydown. Definitely not a summer perfume because of the heavy base notes.
it smells a bit "crazy" for me, in a good way !
I would only wear it on a Summer night, to a party, dance... or may be some concert... That's how I picture myself wearing it ! :)
I owned this back in 2002, and initially I was fond of it. But the smell began to smell bad to me after a couple of uses, so I dumped it. I haven't smelled it since, and I'm kinda curious how it smells to me now, but I still wouldn't buy it again.
not feelin this one at all. smells like spicy mango soap weird and makes me cringe when I smell it not a good look guess Im returning this one!
Sorry this is gone. Loved this for summerwear. Smelled sunny, tropical, fun, and was long lasting.
too strong for me. wish they could make a subtle version of this like a mist or something.
I love this stuff. I thought it was amazing when I first smelled it. I think it can be worn every day. I love the orange blossom, hibiscus, ylang ylang and vanilla in it. It does have some sex appeal and I'd definitely recommend it to a friend.
I don't get that this is all that overwhelming or powerful. I think it is just lovely and I think I could wear this everyday. I like how this is sweet with a tropical background. This is not heavy on me at all. I just love the bottle, its slim and colorful. Mambo is not all that sexy but it does have some sex appeal to it. It's young at heart and soft and apple like on my skin, I just adore it..
This was my signature scent for a long time. While some find it 'offensive' I thought it was very nice. Flirty without being empty, and spicy and mature without being old. At a relatively inexpensive price, I would definately recommend it.
Very powerful fragrance...nighttime scent for sure
