What does Retropical smell like?

The scent reads as one piece: mandarin orange, orange and bergamot give it a bright, juicy freshness, while sand adds an airy, aquatic feel. Floral and gourmand touches stay in the background, softening the citrus and keeping the sweetness restrained.

Longevity and sillage are weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily and office wear. Most voters see it as feminine. Air-Val International Squid Game and Bujairami Drip have a close profile.
