Tropicália

The opening of Tropicalia is super catching, an addictive blend of pink pepper and sweet, juicy mandarin orange. Then it transitions into a more vegetal scent, with a nutty, powdery iris, carrot like smell. Very different from the initial spray. Not my most favourite phase of the juice! But the dry down gets better, where notes like frankincense is sweetened by tonka beans and warmed up by amber. I have only tried another scent from Granado besides, now, Tropicalia, but I can tell that they have some interesting scents on the unique side. Judging from the two perfumes I’ve tried and based on an affordable price point, I am looking forward to test more from them in the future. The perfumes are different than the average brands, designer or niche, but really beautiful and likeable. I love Tropicalia and I would upgrade to a full bottle once I finish the travel size. Doesn’t smell tropical per se, but smells interesting in a nice way. Moderate performance, it’s not a loud, super intense scent, but has decent longevity.

Um perfume que eu paguei 91 reais na black da granado. Abre parecendo uma massinha de modelar, atalcado e com o pistache bem fresquinho. O pistache nesse perfume vc vai sentir durante a maioria desse perfume. Depois de uns 30 minutos ele fica mais doce, e um pouco mais atalcado, com iris aparecendo mais. 2 horas depois ele fica ambarado , doce e terroso, por causa da cenoura (o pistache já fica mais doce). 4 horas até o final o pistache fica mais no fundo, o âmbar salta mais junto com a iris e a cenoura desce um pouco, mas ainda da para sentir. Ele fixa bem por umas 7 horas na minha pele e projeta por uma hora. Ele é um perfume de nicho com até 375 reais, nacional, parece muito um nicho. Por mim vale o preço, mas não 375 reais, espere uma promoção, mas é muito bom investir nele. Da para usar no calor mas não tão tórrido, porque desanda. Inverno, outono e primavera da para usar de boa, de dia e de noite também.

One of Granado's best launches yet. I get that it's not for everyone, but you cannot say that this isn't an interesting and creative fragrance. It's something really unique for the brazilian market that, although is changing, pretty much still consists of sickeningly sweet perfumes (or, in the summer, full of not-so-creative citruses). One of the truest unisex scents I own. The pistacchio and carrot notes don't read gourmand to me at all, it's more like dry and woody (but definitely not "masculine" woody), and somewhat spicy. Perfect for everyday wear, and office friendly.

List of pros and cons have at least one absurd line each. One of the pros says it's herbal, there's absolutely nothing herbal about this. One of the cons says the name is misleading because it isn't a tropical scent. People, stop embarrassing yourselves, the name is "Tropicália", not "Tropical". Tropicália is a cultural movement from Brazil, the name of the fragrance is about that, not about it being a fruity summer scent or any of that.

At first if kinda smelled like cleaning product, but once it settles after 10 minutes, it smells a m a z i n g. It's one of those perfumes that make you smell clean, like fresh laundry and washed skin, the green notes add a special tang to it. Really like it!!!
