Tropica
by Maya Njie
Tropica is a tropical, fruity fragrance with coconut, pineapple, fig, and sandalwood notes, embodying a warm, sun-drenched beach vibe. It opens with bright citrus and juicy pineapple, gradually deepening into a creamy, milky base with ambergris and sandalwood. The scent strikes a balance between sweet and green, with a hint of bitter grapefruit and fig that tempers the sweetness, giving it a more realistic tropical feel. Many users describe it as uplifting, playful, and long-lasting in warm weather, with moderate to strong projection. It leans slightly feminine but has a unisex appeal, especially in summer, and performs best as a daytime scent. Some appreciate its sophisticated, non-syruppy sweetness and nuanced dry-down, linking it to a lush, indoor beach ambiance rather than a synthetic cocktail.
