SOLEIL DE JEDDAH MANGO KISS

Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss is the eau de parfum created by Stéphane Humbert Lucas, launched in 2022. It is a creamy amber tropical fruity fragrance, a bold, vitamin-rich take on the original Soleil de Jeddah.

The Fragrance

Mango Kiss grows out of a sunnier, more playful reinterpretation of the brand's historic masterpiece. Where the original Soleil de Jeddah tells the story of desert heat through leather and amber, this version takes the path of juicy mango and coconut sorbet, while still keeping the depth that makes the brand recognisable even when it moves into more tropical, sun-drenched territory.

How It Wears on Skin

The opening is juicy and bright: mango, wild chamomile oil and orange blossom intertwine in a fresh yet already sweet entrance, with a herbal edge from the chamomile that keeps it from feeling purely sugary. The heart brings ylang-ylang, amber and coconut, where the mango turns creamier and the coconut adds an almost summer-sorbet sensation. The base closes on iris butter, Siam benzoin and Madagascar vanilla, adding a powdery, slightly elegant texture that keeps the composition from staying purely tropical and sweet. Wearers report that the mango stays recognisable through much of the evolution, with longevity often between 7 and 9 hours.

Who We Recommend Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss For

Suited to those who love tropical fruity fragrances but want them more sophisticated, thanks to the iris butter adding elegance to the mango and coconut. Perfect for spring and summer, though its creamy, amber structure lets it carry well into early autumn too.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Take

The iris butter in the base is what sets Mango Kiss apart from a simple beach tropical. The mango is there, generous and recognisable, but it's never left alone: that elegant powderiness arriving in the base makes it a fragrance you can wear without feeling like you're carrying a fruit salad around with you.

FAQ

Is Mango Kiss very similar to the original Soleil de Jeddah?
They share the brand's olfactory signature (wild chamomile, amber, iris butter, Madagascar vanilla), but Mango Kiss replaces the original's Russian leather with mango and coconut, coming across as much fruitier, more tropical and lighter.

Does the mango in this fragrance smell natural?
Reviews agree that the mango stays recognisable and long-lasting through much of the evolution, accompanied by a creamy texture from the coconut that makes it less watery and more enveloping.

Is Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss only suitable for summer?
It's designed mainly for spring and summer, but the iris and vanilla base gives it enough structure to be worn into the early autumn months too.
