Tropica

The beautiful perfume offers a pairing of creamy coconut, smooth and refreshing, with a subtle and juicy fig that tantalises your senses. Though I sampled Akro's Rise alongside it, the scents bloomed differently; Akro faded fast to a simple, formulaic high-street type sweet scent, while Tropica stayed fresh, comforting me like a soft blanket for hours. Silage is amazing, although the fragrance subtly clings to the skin and does not linger in the surroundings. Achieving a balanced scent that captures both coconut and pineapple without becoming overwhelming is a rare skill; Maya has evidently mastered it, creating a fragrance that hints at the creamy softness of white flowers (despite their absence) and the bright warmth of ambergris. Tip: Try layering it with a dose of Diptyque's Philosykos to create quite a surprising result.

Mmm...delicious. What a great unisex, tropical, fruity scent. I'm a vegetarian though so please test yourselves. This fragrance makes me smile and transports me to an expensive tropical island. It has sophistication. I love the amber gris and sandalwood base which tempers all the delicious fruit. The iris is cool and calming. It is sweet but a natural, nectar sweetness. You will probably attract hummingbirds and other pollinators wearing this. There is quite a bit of fig leaf coming through with time which I really like. The woody coconut also becomes more apparent with time. A curious international mix. This room is around 15 degrees so heaven knows how powerful it is in the heat. If you are after an upmarket, a little sweet, sophisticated, tropical fruity scent then worth testing.

I blind ordered a travel size of this, as Maya is one of those perfumers whose work I trust will be solid, and I was right! Tropica smells exACTly like I'd hoped it would - very summery, tropical, pineapple-forward, big time Pina Colada vibes, but still smelling classy! The notes are really balanced; coconut and fig can both be iffy for me but here they're all in perfect harmony with the other notes. This would be the ideal perfume for a beach vacation. I love it, but not sure I'd upgrade to a larger bottle.... have to test the performance a bit more. For now, I'm VERY happy with this one!

Ole ole - ole ole Ole ole - ole ole Feeling hot hot hot! This is the fragrance you will reach for when you're in the mood for dancing or while on vacation somewhere sunkissed and beachy. It's so playful and tropical. It just makes me smile so much! It smells like a very fruity pina colada and I'm living for it. Pure happiness in a bottle. You will not want to stop smelling yourself. Fantastic performance too. I get moderate to long lasting longevity with moderate to strong silage. Full bottle worthy, especially for coconut and pineapple lovers, and for those who love to party.

This is the summer scent I have been spending all summer looking for! Some fragrances smell like summer. This one feels like a passport. The citrus, pineapple, Mediterranean fig, iris, coconut, and salty ambergris create an atmosphere more than a fragrance. I can almost smell the sea breeze, sun warmed air, and endless coastline. It’s transportive in the truest sense, capturing the feeling of being somewhere impossibly beautiful. If you’re landlocked but your soul is at the beach, this is your escape. Ethereal, uplifting, and effortlessly beautiful, it’s summer in a bottle.
