Mango, ginger and rhubarb over caramel
Gulf Orchid Mango Ice is a Parfum that opens with mango, lemon, ginger and rhubarb, passes through white flowers, amber and licorice, and ends on musk, vanilla, caramel and chestnut. It is a loud mix of fresh and sweet, and the licorice and caramel make it hard to predict from the list alone, so a sample helps.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Mango leads the top, and lemon, ginger and rhubarb sharpen it. The rhubarb and ginger are there to cut through the fruit, so the start should feel juicy but not syrupy. Notice whether the cooling effect works for you.
The middle is the odd part: white flowers, amber and licorice. Licorice adds an aromatic, slightly dark depth, which can feel unusual next to fruit. Wear it long enough to see whether that depth appeals to you or not.
The base is sweet and soft: musk, vanilla, caramel and chestnut. Chestnut and caramel make it feel nutty and edible. If you like gourmand finishes this is the payoff, and if not, you will notice by the end of the wearing.
Testing it
Try it on a warm day, since the tags record spring and summer, and spray once on the forearm. Check the first ten minutes for the mango, then the middle of the day for the licorice, and the late stage for the caramel. Repeat on an evening, which the tags also list.
For people who like fruity, gourmand perfumes with an unexpected twist and are happy to experiment. FragranceGems records it as unisex and strong, so one spray on the forearm is a fair start, and you can add a second on another day.
The house of Gulf Orchid has nothing to do with this vial, and it is not an official brand sample. We decant Mango Ice from the original bottle and label it ourselves. With a mix as unusual as mango, licorice and chestnut, 2, 5 or 10 ml is a safer first step than a full bottle.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

Yes, licorice is listed in the heart, next to white flowers and amber, as recorded by FragranceGems.
The base is sweet, with vanilla, caramel and chestnut, but the top has lemon, ginger and rhubarb. Wearing it shows how the two balance.
It is recorded as a Parfum, and the decant comes from the full bottle, so the strength you test is the strength of the bottle.
The brand
From Gulf Orchid you find 20 perfumes here, each as a decant. Each one is decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and carries our own label. Gulf Orchid belongs to the Arabic perfume samples on DecantGems. Wearing a perfume for a few days is the fair way to judge it, and that is what a decant is for.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
