Question 1

What does Tamango smell like?

Accepted Answer

Tamango is a classic 1970s floral green that captures a sense of cool, poised elegance. It opens with a crisp, bitter snap of green notes and bergamot, textured by a faint dusting of dry spices. This initial sharpness feels like an early spring morning—bright, brisk, and slightly metallic.

As the fragrance settles, it transitions into a dense, powdery heart. The floral arrangement is centered around a traditional rose and jasmine duo, but it is the iris and carnation that define its characte...

Question 2

How does Tamango perform in terms of longevity?

Accepted Answer

While it is an Eau de Toilette, it has a dependable presence. Most find it stays noticeable through much of the day, particularly on clothing, which is a trait shared by many well-constructed compositions from the late 70s.

Question 3

Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is highly recommended for business and daily professional settings. Its clean, powdery dry down and green top notes lean toward a disciplined, "smart" aesthetic rather than anything overtly sweet or loud.

Question 4

Does Tamango feel dated?

Accepted Answer

It is a product of its time, so those used to modern, sugary gourmands may find the oakmoss and green notes sharp. However, for fans of classic chypres or floral greens, it is seen as a timeless example of the genre.

Question 5

What is the best season to wear this fragrance?

Accepted Answer

It is most popular during the spring when its green notes and floral heart mirror the blooming environment. However, the spiciness and mossy base allow it to transition well into the fall and summer months.

Question 6

Is it a very sweet floral?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. The inclusion of green notes, bergamot, and a significant amount of oakmoss keeps the sweetness of the rose and jasmine in check, resulting in a drier, more earthy floral profile.
