Mango Oud

Mango Oud by Lova, released in 2024 and composed by Shadi Samra, is a sweet, fruity scent built on a dark wood. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand, and about half also find it woody.

The idea is simple and the name says it: ripe mango, including an Indian mango note, against Thai oud. The mango brings a juicy, almost syrupy tropical sweetness, while the oud contributes a deep, resinous, slightly animalic wood that keeps the fruit from feeling childish. Cognac sits between the two, adding a warm, boozy roundness that links the sweetness of the fruit to the darkness of the wood.

Mango Oud is worn by anyone. It is a bold pairing rather than a subtle one, and its character suits evenings and cooler seasons, when the oud and cognac have room to unfold. Someone who enjoys fruity scents but finds most of them too light may find this a satisfying step up.
