Tijuca Ligne St Barth 2007

To start- a vibrant note of lemon and tangerine, followed by a fruity floral body of Caribbean rose and cashew apple on a background of white sandalwood.

This is what I read here on the packaging of Tijuca, and against this backdrop, I try to approach the individual fragrance notes.

I only perceive the citrus notes very lightly at the beginning, as a surprisingly fruity rose unfolds quickly. In my mind's eye, I have the image of a yellow tea rose. Rosy, fruity..., where on earth does the fruit come from?

Reading the description slowly again... ahh there:
Cashew-apple, not nuts. The same does not always have to be the same.

And it is these cashew apples, from which juice and jam are made among other things, that are responsible for these fruity notes here.

Anyone who likes rose and is looking for a nice summer scent, away from the ubiquitous fruit baskets, should definitely try Tijuca.
It is completely uncomplicated and brings good mood. The longevity is quite acceptable at about 6 hours for an Eau de Toilette, Tijuca does not undergo a great development during this time.
Overall, for me, it is a beautiful summer scent that will likely accompany me very often in the coming months.
