I truly love this scent, but really wish it lasted longer and were a bit stronger. I only notice it when I first apply, and maybe a whiff when I bring my wrists close to my face or I move my hair away from my neck shortly after. That being said, despite the lack of longevity, I sought out a bottle of this on eBay after finishing my original bottle from about 10 years ago and finding it had only been a one-season scent. I found one and am now savoring it. Definitely a summertime scent. So fresh, clean, but still sweet - the kind of smell you want to just keep smelling.

I do get all the notes listed. This is tropical and different from the typical beach take. More like sitting in a jungle eating a light fruit breakfast. It lives up to the name, because it feels like a quick reprieve, a bit like getting a spa treatment. The carambola and mango are very strong, the base notes are weak and as a result this fades fairly quickly. Worth having, just because it's so different!

Nice little scent. It's exactly what a girl needs to toss in her purse for the summer and spray away before entering, lunch, work, school, dept stores, and going to the beach. It's just a handy size and shape. It's a short lived people pleaser. I wouldn't really recommend it, but I can't say a bad thing about it either.
