A better tropical/sweet/fresh perfume

A better tropical/sweet/fresh perfume 1 year ago

Hi! I'm on the hunt for a signature scent and I have kind of an idea of what I want.
scents I like are:
Hawaiin Ruby Guava Pacifica - I love this body spray, I think it smells delicious but it barely lasts. I tried the perfume version and it smells more chemically and I don't like it
Delice Nacre Johan B - This is the first perfume I really bought myself and I think it smells nice but is missing something, maybe something a bit more fruity.
Herbal Essences white strawberry & sweet mint conditioner - I know this is a conditioner, but it might be one of my favorite smells. I wish I could turn it into a perfume! Maybe a bit juvenile by itself though.
Sweet tobacco candle - Smells like a better version of regular vanillas to me
Seventh scene sleep therapy unwind roll on - this is more random and not sure if it really fits with the above, but the lavender smells amazing and my boyfriend loves it. A little overpowering on the floral side for the few minutes It lasts, but overall smells great.
I don't like:
Overpowering florals, vanillas, and powdery scents. Too heavy of these tend to make me sneezy. I don't mind if there's notes of these, just not the main thing.
I'd love to find perfumes that are similar to these but better. I want to sample a bunch so I'm open to any suggestions wither its on the money similar or more experimental ideas, thank you!

Hi Smores123,

 I understand you are looking for something without vanilla/coconut/ylang? I think the powdery-ness comes mostly from this three notes. Unfortunately, I don know the perfumes you mention but I suggest you try Escada. They have many tropical-fruity scents, fresh and no vanilla in them. I mean the red bottles. You can also try from Aerin Hibiscus Palm but this goes into the creamy side. I find the Guava note extremely sweet but if your are into it try Renier Delirius. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Hi!
I'm not familiar with your mentioned perfumes, but of tropical profile I enjoy Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc.

Also a big range has Guerlain in Aqua Allegoria line, probably you could find there something for your taste

Best wishes
