Lorenzo Villoresi Tropicana
Opens up with a tropical fruits and suntan lotion. Passionfruit is particularly strong in the top notes, lending a sharp, sour freshness. A warm, powdery musk runs in the same stream with the milky element, reminding me of a meringue or pavlova we have in Australia. This dessert is complete with the extremely sugary, sherbet-like base, sour coconut milk and drizzled with a tangy passionfruit syrup. It also leads me to think of summer smoothies and desserts, but not in an edible way.
At this middle stage, I think Tropicana would be too cloying for summer because it is heavy; carrying the weight of rotten summer fruits baked in the sun, intense acidity coming from the passionfruit, and a persistent milky musk swirling with the former. And yes, all of this on your skin, not to drink or eat.
Finally I can accept that Tropicana has dried down, leaving a reluctant goodbye. I would really like it to go, but it seems to enjoy me being the host. Finally the non-descript florals come out; as if to apologize for their partner’s initial childish outburst. Jasmine, tuberose and magnolia are not strong characters. It must be the peachy osmanthus that has taken effect with the tropical fruits, (and i only know this because I dislike osmanthus.)
I would not recommend Tropicana as a blind buy. It screams sharp and sour and it huddles around you with a coconut milk accord. I register this as sour milk! If you like fruity-tart scents you might want to give this a try. I hardly detect any flowers and I will not recommend it to any floral lovers convinced with a tropical white floral. You will get a sour fruity milkshake at best.
