I'd say I get more guava and mango in the opening than pineapple and that is a massive positive...I love a tropical, fruity perfumes and I was waiting for Xerjoff to give me the best I'd ever had, transporting me to a paradise...but Cruz del sur II doesn't quite pull it off. I'm not sure what it is? The quality is undoubtedly there but no 'shade' could be the issue here, this beach needs a palm tree. To say it smells like a glade home fragrance is a little unfair, Cruz del sur II does have a great complex opening. The milky, vanilla base is interesting and does feel like a positive 'milk' note, but equally comes off as coconut against those tropical fruits. After they die it's a very feminine, soft and one dimensional, creamy powder of a fragrance with a lot of pastel, exotic floral notes coming through. It's not for me.
