BORNTOSTANDOUT® | Black Mango | Extrait Extrême
Black Mango is a darkly opulent, unapologetically bold tropical-woody fragrance from the rebel South Korean niche house BORNTOSTANDOUT®. Conceived to capture the raw, primal experience of reaching the core of a perfectly ripe fruit where the pure sweetness shifts into something raw and carnal, the fragrance shatters the traditional mold of airy, youthful summer fruit waters. It takes tropical elements and drags them into the shadows. It opens with an explosive, mouthwatering canopy of juicy ripe mango flesh and vibrant orange essential oil. It shifts smoothly into a rich, decadent heart of creamy mango lassi, warm vanilla bourbon, and ambered tolu balsam before anchoring itself on a massive, structural baseline of dark agarwood (oud), rugged leather, earthy sandalwood, and spicy cypriol.
