simply put, it’s a warm, tropical escapade! not the wild beach party kind of tropical escapade... this is akin to having a bowl of sweet, fragrant tropical fruits waiting beside you when you wake up from silky, warm, cocooning blanket. Alone or with your special someone... you decide! I’m not a big fan of fruit forward scents... but, what makes this stands out from the sea of tired sweet fruit fragrances is the hint of milky/lactonic skin smell. So close, so comforting. This is one of my current favorite sleeping/resting scent. If you got the chance to, I encourage you to try! Even if you are a fruity scent skeptic like me.

Creamy litchi and the sugestion of mango. There's almost a hint of something metalic wafting amid the vanilla, sandalwood and soft clean musk. A fun flirty but not in your face tropical summer scent. Gorgeous and not even the slightest suggestion of coconut found anywhere.

Smells like V Canto Temptatio to me. Whatever it is, it smells great but it is completely unoriginal.

Malbrun's description for this fragrance is actually quite accurate: You are marooned on a beach, the musky smell of saliva is in the air... tropical fruits some way off in the jungle. Very little sweetness or freshness here. It's silly to dislike this because it's not an easy blind buy or because you expect fruity scents to be uplifting and fresh. Let's celebrate niche perfumers who don't insist on making every fruity fragrance overly sweet.

On my skin this doesn't go fruity, it smells more like when you come home and someone's been cooking some east European savory dish.

Very weak and close to skin. Smells like boring fruity shampoo. Disappointed.

Do not blind buy. If I were looking for a tropical, bright fragrance, this would be offensive. It smells more like dirty mango leaves and a musty/mossy green, almost mugwort-like scent. I can not pick up any tangerine, which could bring some life into this scent.

No idea where all these tropical fruits are. It smells like freshly cut celery on me and is utterly disgusting. The only positive aspect of it is that it's completely gone in an hour.

Very poor longevity. The scent dissapeared within an hour, I literally could not smell it on my skin anymore (and neither did my husband). It has a better staying power on clothes, but nothing long lasting. The scent itself is nice, tropical and sweeteish, but it does desire some more citruses to really round it up and make it pop, without this it leans a bit too girlish and shampooey. Had higher expectations.

One of the nicest lychee scents I’ve ever tried! Fruity floral with a woody musky drydown. Among my favorites by Malbrum!
