Fomowa Paris Pannaco Tahaa Extrait de Parfum

Pannaco Tahaa by FOMOWA Paris is a Unisex fruity gourmand fragrance launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Sarah Burri.

Our olfactory adventure begins in the heart of Thailand. In Bangkok's bustling market, the Mahachanok mango offers itself to us, an exquisite fruit promising a sweet elixir. After capturing the fruity nuances of Thailand, we cast off for Tahiti, a jewel of Polynesia where Tahaa vanilla exhales its bewitching fragrance. Leaving the paradisiacal shores of Tahiti, our olfactory journey takes us to the bustling streets of Florence, Italy. In the warm atmosphere of a traditional dessert, the master perfumers precisely blend the harvested elements. The heart of Pannacotta blends delicately with the Mahachanok Mango Curd, creating a sweet and fruity harmony. Now we can fully experience and relish in Pannaco Tahaa as the olfactory pyramid takes shape, blending influences from Thailand, Tahiti and Italy. Every drop is carefully measured, every note orchestrated to capture the essence of our journey. Get ready for a delicious, out-of-this-world experience!

REVIEWS

Fragrantica - "Very beautiful perfume with juicy mango and beautiful vanilla on all levels, top olfective, I recommend it."

Fragrantica -  "It's a smooth vanilla/mango perfume, smells delicious and addictive."

Fragrantica - "This is the type of mango perfume I needed! Gourmand mango, sweet, ripe & juicy. Longevity is insane, sillage is beyond insane. My personal favorite and I can't wait to see what dessert will be next."

Fragrantica - "A sweet, light mango covered with a creamy, milky note. The saffron gives body to the reference and without forgetting this sublime Sicilian orange in the opening. This vanilla orange which brings full light to this perfume from the first minutes. An oriental, a gourmand? Make up your own mind but one thing you will enjoy at least discovering."

Fragrantica - "Beautiful take on mango dessert, very nice balance overall, even though opening has a lot of acidity. Give it 15-20 minutes to settle and enjoy. It has wonderful sillage and on chillier summer days it collects attention like no other mango fragrance I own...well worth the price."

Fragrantica - "This is so good!! To anyone who is not a fan of saffron like I'm not a fan of it, it's really not noticeable to me in here. This is REALLY good!!!"

Fragrantica - "A really creative fragrance, basically a dessert gourmand for the summer!... Central panacotta note with mango, vanilla and hints of orange being the main supporters. Despite it's milky and sweet profile it's a summer fragrance, maybe not for the extreme heat though. Projection is great and longevity is def around 10hrs+ (on clothes I got +12hrs). 8/10 fragrance..."

Fragrantica - "WOW! I absolutely love this!!! Green mango and it's got a tartness to it. The mango mixed with this beautiful dare I say best creme Brule note I've ever smelled!!! So rich and decadent the sweet Ness and creamy desert Iwith this fruity juicy mango. FULLBOTTLE WORTHY!!"

Fragrantica - "Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful! I thought this will be a very gourmand fragrance but it's a wonderful balance between fruity and gourmand. A very good evolution where vanilla and spices comes to charm and warm you. We smell so much that the ingredients are natural wow it's very rare to smell something so natural from the mango to the vanilla. Definitely in my collection and in the top 3 of my fragrances. Thank you so much, the discovery of the year!"

Fragrantica -  "It's sweet mango cream but with some spices in it. Reminds me of a mango version of Ambre d'Alexandrie or Brecourt Farah. Longevity is great!"

Fragrantica - "This is definitely a mango scent, but it is a warm and spicy mango scent with powdery aspects to it. I think it's okay because it isn't a tart mango so it doesn't smell disgusting on my skin. But it isn't very exciting even though it isn't a basic mango scent- it seems pretty linearly spicy/powdery the whole way. I think calling it "pannaco" or implying there's a pannacotta note seems like pure marketing here. There isn't enough sugarly vanilla-ness or lactonic notes here to imply a creamy dessert."

Fragrantica - "I am getting a tart green Thai mango with some citrus. There is definitely a musky/powder element that makes this fragrance a bit different from my other mango fragrances. If you are a mango lover this may be a good addition to the collection. Projection and longevity are great."

Fragrantica - "I finally found a mango scent that I love, and I have tried them all (God of Fire, Cruz del Sur II, Fame, Carioca Hearts, Sunsplosion, City Rhythm, etc). I pretty much gave up on mango as most of the mango notes I have come across are too sweet and synthetic. Growing up around mangoes I can assure you that mangoes are not always pretty and sweet - they are fairly indolic, pungent, and earthy depending on the variety; some smell better than others."  

Pannaco Tahaa manages to accurately capture the scent of mangoes- more specifically unripe green mangoes - sweet, raw, earthy and slightly acidic. The mango in PT definitely isn't the juvenile, sugary-sweet, tropical cocktail style mango which I suspect most blind buyers were expecting (hence the reviews). The mango is raw and acidic.

The sweetness of the vanilla and panacotta balance the mango out gorgeously. I think it was genius of Sarah Burri to curate a more green and earthy mango note as this blend would have been stomach churningly sweet if sweeter mango variety/note was utilized.

The final dry down is a gorgeous creamy, green tropical-vanilla. The longevity also deserves a nod as it is becoming harder and harder to come across fragrances that actually last. This should be rated much, much higher.100% worth sampling, and even blind buying if you want an acidic and sweet photorealistic mango fragrance.
