Before I evaluate "Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss | Stéphane Humbert Lucas," I would like to mention that I will often compare the fragrance to "God of Fire | Stéphane Humbert Lucas," as both are in a similar scent direction and I only discovered
Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss through "God of Fire | Stéphane Humbert Lucas." For simplicity, I will also abbreviate
Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss as Mango Kiss,
God of Fire as GOF, and Stéphane Humbert Lucas as SHL.
SHL was unknown to me before 2024, but I became aware of GOF through social media and thus discovered SHL. The idea of a fruity, natural mango scent excited me immediately, as did the bottle from the Snake collection. So, I ordered a sample, and although I was not disappointed, my expectations were not entirely met. GOF starts with a very beautiful natural, rather green mango, complemented by woody notes and a pleasant citrus. If the fragrance had maintained this character, it would have become one of my favorites. Unfortunately, after about 1-2 hours, the scent develops into a strongly woody oud note, which personally does not appeal to me. This transformation was disappointing for me.
Now to the real highlight, Mango Kiss. I knew nothing about this fragrance until my visit to Paris. During my vacation in Paris, I tested the fragrances from Maison Crivelli at Lafayette and discovered by chance that SHL is represented in the neighboring Printemps building. I originally intended to only test the GOF and the other fragrances from the Snake collection when the salesperson introduced me to Mango Kiss. Unfortunately, my nose was already quite overwhelmed from testing so many perfumes that day, and I couldn't properly evaluate the scent. I left the store with the impression of "Mh, yes, just mango." Four months later, during my visit to Rotterdam, I had the opportunity to test the fragrance again. This time, I was immediately thrilled. The mango in Mango Kiss is incredibly authentic. Fruity, fresh, and natural, not the green skin, but the juicy flesh. This mango note is accompanied by a bed of subtle coconut and delicate white flowers that do not come across as indolic or piercing, but rather very soft and pleasant. I am glad I didn't buy the GOF back then, as it allowed me the opportunity to purchase Mango Kiss. This fragrance has completely met my expectations for a mango scent.
In summary, I can say that GOF is a fresh, zesty mango scent with citrus and woody notes. Mango Kiss, on the other hand, is a creamy, lactonic, and almost balsamic mango fragrance. When considered individually, I find the mango in Mango Kiss to be better executed, thanks to its light, natural sweetness. This mango note in GOF, without the GOF oudiness, would be my ideal vision of a mango fragrance and a 10/10 scent for me.
