Vintage Collection Tropicana

What a hidden gem , a beautiful tropical summer fragrance , much better than most

A simple fragrance with lots of tropical fruit and a whisp of musk. Easy grab. Not juvenile, not a body mist, no berries nor dark fruits but a peachy, melon, passion fruit wonder. Fabulously pleasing and very much uncomplicated. Rated Smoothie Anyone? (EDIT) whoa whoa whoa! I sprayed too much on and I got beat up by an aldehydic scent (I want to accuse Magnolia, but she has never done anything to me before). Warning - USE in moderation or your nose will have a brain freeze

Gosh there is 1 review for this? I was super interested in this one several years ago and obtained a small decant. First impression -- strong tropical fruit salad. Very fruity. Pineapple, watery passionfruit, peach, and hints of coconut (not strong) on a creamy vanilla base. ....then that blasted melon (cantaloupe/musk melon) ruins it for me. There is a sweet tuberose jasmine behind the fruits but it is background to the fruits. If it had no melon, I would have purchased.

I am on the fence about this one! It smells exactly how the rocket candies taste, but preforms like a body spray on me. I really enjoy it as a gym, grocery shopping etc fragrance.

Lorenzo Villoresi Tropicana Opens up with a tropical fruits and suntan lotion. Passionfruit is particularly strong in the top notes, lending a sharp, sour freshness. A warm, powdery musk runs in the same stream with the milky element, reminding me of a meringue or pavlova we have in Australia. This dessert is complete with the extremely sugary, sherbet-like base, sour coconut milk and drizzled with a tangy passionfruit syrup. It also leads me to think of summer smoothies and desserts, but not in an edible way. At this middle stage, I think Tropicana would be too cloying for summer because it is heavy; carrying the weight of rotten summer fruits baked in the sun, intense acidity coming from the passionfruit, and a persistent milky musk swirling with the former. And yes, all of this on your skin, not to drink or eat. Finally I can accept that Tropicana has dried down, leaving a reluctant goodbye. I would really like it to go, but it seems to enjoy me being the host. Finally the non-descript florals come out; as if to apologize for their partner's initial childish outburst. Jasmine, tuberose and magnolia are not strong characters. It must be the peachy osmanthus that has taken effect with the tropical fruits, (and i only know this because I dislike osmanthus.) I would not recommend Tropicana as a blind buy. It screams sharp and sour and it huddles around you with a coconut milk accord. I register this as sour milk! If you like fruity-tart scents you might want to give this a try. I hardly detect any flowers and I will not recommend it to any floral lovers convinced with a tropical white floral. You will get a sour fruity milkshake at best. Sillage: Moderate-Heavy Longevity: Average 4 hours
