What does Tropical smell like?

It opens with white frangipani, ginger, key lime and Mexican guava, juicy and bright with a green edge. In the heart, champaca absolute, jasmine sambac and guava blossom bring the floral side forward. The base of goiabada, mahogany, amber and Mexican vanilla absolute sweetens it and adds a soft, woody warmth.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted so far. The fresh-and-sweet balance suits warm weather and daytime wear. It reads equally well on men and women.
