Mango Peach Salsa is a limited edition fragrance that I'd hate to see go away! In the bottle, the fragrance smells sweet and just a little spicy, if you're looking for it. In CP soap, it smells like peaches on steriods. It's a sweet, creamy, fruity, lush fragrance that has a richness that's on par with oatmeal, milk, and honey fragrances.

I have a CP bar of this in my shower, and one each of OMH and one of champagne. The MPS smells fantastic alongside both, but even alone, it's fabulous. The Bramble Berry website says that this will discolor to a light brown. I can't see this; my bar has coral mica in it and went through gel phase, and it's still a great peachy-red-orange. So, your mileage may vary.

And a tip for the day: if your fragrance bottles won't open at you're at, perhaps, a higher altitude, the jar grippers and running the tops under hot water won't do the trick. Instead, what's in the bottle has to warm up a little to help release the seal! I wish I'd visited Google before I ended up with a handful of blisters. I'll be spending the afternoon snuggling two dozen bottles of fragrance oil that are having issues....

That's good to know that it does well in CP. I use the small, thin rubber rounds to open my bottles.

Thanks for the hint about opening the bottles at high altitudes. I use rubber openers every time I have trouble too. Sometimes, those little caps can get on there tight!

I'd be thrilled if any sort of rubber grip would work! I still have some really stubborn bottles that need opening. Once I get some more tape (to cover the labels) they're going for a swim. ;)

If the rubber grip doesn't work, try adjustable pliers with the inside zig zag metal edges.
