Gain Apple + Mango Tango In-Wash Scent Boosters
"Apple + Mango Tango has been one of the most beloved scents in our history, and our fans have never stopped asking for its return," said Ben Sattler, Gain® Senior Brand Director. "This relaunch is our way of showing love to the Gainiacs who inspire us every day. At Gain, we don't just innovate—we listen. By bringing Apple + Mango Tango into our newest scent technology, we're proving once again that Gain isn't only a fragrance leader but also a brand that creates authentic, lasting connections with its community."
Gain Apple + Mango Tango is more than just a fragrance; it's an icon. Fans fell in love with the juicy fusion of crisp apple and lush mango, a combination so unique and unforgettable that it inspired a fandom. Now reimagined as part of the Gain Tango In-Wash Scent Boosters collection, the scent has found its new home. Powered by Gain's dual-action scent technology, the new boosters keep laundry smelling fruity-fresh all day long, with a fragrance that lasts up to 12 weeks from wash to wear. The perfume capsules infuse fabrics during the wash cycle, then release bursts of freshness with every touch and movement.
The full Tango In-Wash Scent Boosters collection now includes three irresistible scents:
- NEW: Apple + Mango is a bright and juicy scent, comprised of sweet, crisp apples, and juicy mangos for the ultimate fruity fragrance blend.
- Strawberry + Shea is an explosion of fruity and floral, with scents of crisp berries and smooth shea.
- Piña + Plumeria also offers a tropical, fun, and fruity smell that combines for a juicy, irresistible scent.
"When fans asked us to bring Apple + Mango Tango back, we knew we had to get it right," said Ricardo Espina, P&G Fragrance Scientist. "At P&G, we use a combination of social listening, consumer studies, and sensory testing to track what people are loving—and what they're missing. From TikTok trends to large-scale studies, the data was clear: Apple + Mango was a scent consumers craved. We then worked through our fragrance development pipeline to make sure the scent not only captured that original magic but also paired perfectly with our dual-action capsule technology. The result is a fragrance that's true to what fans remember but elevated for today's scent seekers."
