About This Perfume
Think cool lavender cologne, cedar woods with citrus: that is Liz Claiborne Mambo for Men. It opens with lavender, lime and bergamot, moves into cedar, cinnamon and orange blossom and settles on sandalwood, musk and balsam fir. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This cologne works across all four seasons and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2001.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and warm for casual days.
- Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $22.
