What does Tropicalia smell like?

The scent stays citrus-led throughout: Sicilian bergamot, Amalfi lemon and Italian pomelo carry the freshness, while blueberry and woodland strawberry soften it with fruity sweetness. Rum, vanilla and musk sit in the background, adding a gourmand, slightly synthetic warmth.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick it for leisure and daily wear, with office and sport following. It reads as young and cheerful, suiting men and women alike. Maison Alhambra Candy Floss and Sphinx Kokonut Daiquiri have a close profile.
