Overall: A novel idea indeed! I would prefer the original, or some combination of the original and ALT2. The article is long enough (4067 characters), and the Earwig report looks fine. Joofjoof (talk) 20:28, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Joofjoof! Agree about the hook. Do you like this better?

ALT3 ... that green mangoes inspired both the fragrance and the green-tinted bottle for perfume Un Jardin sur le Nil (pictured)?

But maybe short/crisper as in ALT0 is better. Any of those work for me (striking ALT1 for clarity). Innisfree987 (talk) 17:14, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Innisfree987 - ALT0 does sound a bit punchier to me, but I'll let the promoter choose. Joofjoof (talk) 22:18, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
