Reserved tropical scent - perfect for the summer
I quite like it. I think it’s very fitting for the summer – not only because it smells fruity and tropical, but because it’s light and unobtrusive enough, unlike some fruity and tropical scents that can kill (I'm looking at YOU, Kirke). It also has some cooler, ice-creamy side to it that reminded me of Escada Agua del Sol. Maybe other Escada frags are more similar, but Agua del Sol is the only one I know closely.

At first, I was a bit disappointed by this one. It seemed too tame and crowd-pleasing, only faintly tropical, not daring tropical, as if it missed something, a punch line, so to speak. However, in really high temperatures I learned to appreciate this tameness as a plus.

The notes I smell the most are nectarine (which I perceive as quite realistic) and mango – and I love both of them. I never smelled or tasted milk apple, but I heard it described as “sweet and creamy like vanilla custard.” So maybe that’s where I get my ice-cream impression. Then it dries down to sweet and cool musk – all while staying light and pleasant. Wears the entire day, maybe a bit less – 6 to 8 hours. Mind you, this is on the skin in the hot weather, so not bad at all.

Fruit Dwarf
I live on a budget and am currently always on the lookout for affordable fragrances, and since I've had good finds with this brand so far and liked the pyramid, I got the little apple. Although the bottle is so large that it’s a half apple and not a little apple.

As for the scent, I have to say that the first thought that comes to my mind when I smell this fragrance relates to fruit dwarfs or fruit yogurt. Somewhat fresh, somewhat creamy, and above all fruity. I can hardly say whether it’s nectarine or raspberry, and the scent really can't be defined. Nevertheless, I find it pleasant, and I think it will really shine in summer.

Unfortunately, the scent lasts hardly an hour before it fades away, which I find a bit disappointing, but I also didn’t pay more than 10 euros for this bottle, so I guess it means I have to spray it on frequently. I find the bottle itself a bit awkward, and spraying with this snake head is also somewhat impractical. However, it can be removed.

Ein Sprühstoß und es stößt mich zurück in die Mittelstufe. Eine Wolke aus Tropical Crisp 5Gum Kaugummi mit einem Hauch dünner Kakaomilch.

The bottle is really pretty. The scent is undefinable. Nice and fruity-sweet. However, there's nothing of mango, nectarine, or coconut to...

Sweet juicy fruit cocktail for summer. Beautiful playful bottle. Can't complain about the price/quality.

A fresh, cheerful summer scent with fruity notes. The top notes last quite well and don’t turn unpleasant. Great price/quality ratio.

Jeanne Arthes surprises with some well-made ones, and here the effortlessly achieved goal was Haribo and effervescent tablets. Hm.

Synthetic fruit punch type mango. For my nose, it leans a bit towards shower gel. It's okay.
