Recently I did a review for Pacifica’s Tahitian Garden solid perfume. In addition to the solid perfume, Pacifica also makes perfume sprays. And if you’re a fan of tropical fruits (or any fruity scents) then you’ll love Pacifica’s Brazilian Mango Grapefruit. It smells very natural, almost like cutting into sweet ripe mangoes.
The Brazilian Mango Grapefruit perfume spray is also very easy to wear. What’s neat is that there is no artificial fruit scent here, just Pacifica’s natural blend of essential and natural oils of grapefruit and orange.
Citrus scents are some of my favorite essential oils, as they are very uplifting and energizing.
Pacifica sent me this bottle of Brazilian Mango Grapefruit perfume spray to try out. I love the design of the bottle. It’s small enough you can bring it with you and just spray a little bit on your wrist for a quick perky scent.
Ingredients: Pacifica’s Brazilian Mango Grapefruit Spray Perfumes contain natural denatured alcohol (from corn) and Pacifica’s own fragrance blend with natural and essential oils including grapefruit and orange. No parabens, animal testing, animal ingredients or artificial colors. 100% VEGAN and Gluten-free.
Other fruit scents in Pacifica’s line include Bali Lime Papaya, Tuscan Blood Orange, Mediterranean Fig, and of course my favorite Hawaiian Ruby Guava.
I found this little interesting note about mangoes from Pacifica: The Buddha prized mangoes so much that he was given a grove in which to meditate. I can just imagine how relaxing it would be to sit in any tropical fruit grove.
Brook, the founder of Pacifica, personally developed 24 scents that range from fruit and floral to wood and herb. You can also mix and match them to create your own signature scent.
I think I want to layer this scent with the Hawaiian Ruby Guava.
Here is a nice little quote from the package: “Pleasure is the flower that passes; remembrance the lasting perfume.” - Jean de Bouffler
How true is that quote! The scent of blooming night jasmine and ripe guava always bring me back to my first trip to Hawaii. I can remember sitting on that beach, eating a freshly picked ripe guava and watching the waves out in the North Shore. Good scents and songs are some of those things that trigger happy memories for me.

Thanks for the review. The fruity fragrance can be very uplifting especially when you’re tired. Lee loves the fruity smells in her shampoo.
Btw, that picture of the mango looks real good, made my mouth water just looking at it.

Hi Nye,
I noticed most kids shampoo at Target come in watermelon and even grape too. So many choices! I don’t think we ever had that stuff growing up. I remember Johnson & Johnson yellow baby shampoo and Halsa - and they were just plain shampoo too.
As for my mango, it was recycled from another post. But I’m glad it looks just as nice.
