Very bright, vivid citrus - a juicier, more orange, less yellow, version of Sicily
Personal: 8/10 – I enjoy it, though I wouldn't reach for it often. Very juicy orange.
Mass appeal: 9/10 – Juicy citrus freshies are universally pleasant. Spice notes may not appeal.
Performance: 6.5/10 – Solid for a citrus freshie but nothing impressive.
Value: 6.5/10 - Reasonable Phlur pricing for something that's better than 'meh'. It has its place.
Uniqueness: 7/10 – Sweet citrus DNA isn't groundbreaking, but tangerine is an unappreciated note.
SCORE: 74/100

Full bottle buy? YES, fun, juicy, and just enough depth to justify. It's not redundant with others.
Blind buy? YES, it’s sweet, juicy, realistic tangerine with some supporting notes.
Recommend? YES, if you want a great summer daily driver that's not too serious.
Date night? YES, casual dates in the sun only. More playful than seductive.
Office safe? YES, citrus and spice makes it professional and friendly. Easy to wear and tolerate.

Pros: Very bright, juicy, realistic tangerine with just enough spice to keep it from being boring.
Cons: Linear, forgettable after the opening, and not worth raving about.

This is what Solar Power should've been. It focuses less on florals supporting citrus, and instead lets the citrus speak for itself. And man, that citrus talks. It opens with the bright burst of orange citrus that you'd expect, and as it dries, it mellows into a bit of a rich, citrusy display of ginger and pepper. Florals exist, but they aren't the main character, and that's okay.

It's actually really respectable for its juicy overtones, though it's otherwise kind of boring.

Review #63 in my fragrance journey – this fragrance I own as a decant

The perfect orange soda scent
Tangerine Boy is a delicious orange soda-like scent. The opening is bright and sparking, with an effervescent quality that is so beautiful and really gives it that soda feel. This scent is my go-to mood booster, it's very hard to feel unhappy while smelling this scent. It has incredible performance, particularly for a citrus - this lasts all day on clothing.

Ripe orange, freshly picked
My signature perfume, I've been using this for a year almost and I've gotten nothing but compliments on it. It's a bright, realistic juicy orange scent perfect for summer. At first spray the citrus comes out immediately, almost like a freshly peeled tangerine. It might not last for long but it sure does make an impression.

Spicy tangerine fragrance!
I was eager to get Tangerine Boy because of its tangerine notes. I'm currently on the lookout for nice fruity fragrances (one for every fruit). When I first sprayed it on my skin, there was this nice citrusy and juicy tangerine scent. It was great and I was hyped! The ginger was in the background, giving this superb, well-round, not too acidic tangerine scent. The pepper in the background gave it this nice zing to it, stimulating the senses which made me smile. It reminded me a bit of orange Tik Taks. This was the part where I thought the scent was definitively unisex.

Unfortunately, after a few minutes, the fragrance took a turn towards the "men" perfume territory. I'm not one who likes to apply genders to a perfume, but I see my boyfriend wearing this way more than I. I think the pepper and ginger combined with the moss to make a scent reminiscent of men's cologne / aftershave. The tangerine is still there, but it became more of a ghost. I could still smell a bit of juicyness and citrusy smell but it was no longer the star. It's a nice fragrance for sure and people who love pepper and tangerine will obviously fall for it, but I'd like to reiterate that it's not a unisex fragrance. Like AT ALL. A win for all men, but a loss for me. It'll be going to my boyfriend's collection!

Less realistic than I was led to believe. It smells like orange Fanta to me. But the orange note does last longer than I expected

For me starts with a strong tangerine vibe, but does fade a bit. Ends up with a generic, slightly spicy 'boy' smell

Bright and juicy but has no sillage and limited longevity. Still really like it, when I wear it out I bring a travel size to refresh.

A bright, citrusy, juicy tangerine fragrance. It's uninteresting, but very pleasant and I like it.

True unisex citrus. Starts strong as tangerine, mellows to orange, dries down to a nice spicy citrus. Good versatile orange for all seasons.

Opens with bright, juicy orange soda - but settles into cleaning product. It's a no from me.

First, juicy oranges and ginger spiciness. As it develops, it smells like the round lemon candies with sour fizz filling.

Juicy-creamy, soft-smooth citrus, lightly bitter-spicy underneath.
Somewhere between orange soda (without sugar/fizz/chill) & sweet-sour sauce.

Citrusy and zesty start, beautifully juicy. Unfortunately fades into insignificance later, reminiscent of a herbal men's shower gel.
