Trocadéro

Really fresh and balanced notes of mango and apricot. Reminds me of opening a can of Somersby mango lime cider. Perfect for warm days in a summer outfit.

The newer bottles of this say mango and musk rather than mango apricot, but I’d be willing to bet that there is a screechy white floral in here too. I really enjoy the mango note - I reminds me of some sort of mango candy or mango fizzy drink from my childhood! BUT! There is a head splitting sharpness here that COULD be a white musk, but to me comes across more like jasmine and magnolia. Imagine a mango hairspray. Gutted to be honest! It’s a screechy on paper but worse on my skin for sure I actually had to scrub it off as I got headachey feeling almost immediately. Thankfully I got it from TKMaxx for £16.99 so it’s not the end of the world, but wishing I’d got the other one I was looking at with the passion fruit instead!

It is rich fruity scent. It smells like tropical fruit granola - with natural flavor from natural dried fruit (papaya, mango, apricot, pineapple, banana) and coconut, only minus the granola :D. It is rich and warm, so in summer heat it might not be a top reach when you want something refreshing. Performance is super great. And unlike many other similar well performing fruity scents, it does not have musk in it, which is a big plus for ne. However personally, it is not my favourite because I'm not a great fan of coconut and I can certainly feel it here. Also, it's a it too rich/stuffy/not fresh enough for me in the summer.
