About This Perfume
Think tropical mango tea with powdery vanilla: that is Liz Claiborne Mambo for Woman. It opens with mango, ylang-ylang and mandarin orange, moves into orange blossom, ginger and hibiscus and settles on sandalwood, musk and vanilla. It reads unisex.
This cologne is best in spring, summer and fall and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for casual days and date nights. Released in 2001.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
