Opens incredibly fruity, almost to the point of overripe. The florals are prominent too.
There is a waxy, creamy, salty quality almost like ambergris. The aromachemicals used to give the marine salt water vibes do come across a little synthetic, but I'm not particularly bothered by that.
There is no other word but tropical.
I don't mean it negatively, but it can come across like a fresh tropical dryer sheet at times.
It's heavy but fresh, sweet but salty, fruity but floral. There is so much going on here it's difficult to discern anything specific most of the time, but I definitely get banana peeking through.
There is resinous warmth and balsamic smoothness underneath it all.
I think it definitely needs to be summer to wear this. It needs some heat and humidity to radiate from.
