Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive scent, Secret Wish is either your fresh, fruity summer daydream or a synthetic lemon cleaner that vanishes without a trace. The bottle might steal your heart, but the juice is a brief, if sometimes brilliant, affair.
Maya Njie's Tropica is a seriously divisive scent. Some find it a delicious tropical escape, a sophisticated piña colada, while others are met with a baffling, unpleasant sourness verging on 'rotten banana' or 'vomit'. This is definitely one to test before buying.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, light profile and general lack of strong sillage make it suitable for casual wear or gym, where it's invigorating but not intrusive. However, its poor longevity and casual fruitiness limit its appropriateness for formal settings or dates where a more lasting impression is usually desired.

Occasions
With its noticeable projection and tropical fruitiness, Tropica is best suited for casual and date wear rather than formal settings or the office. Its playful character is perfect for holiday and warm weather relaxed occasions, however some find its projection intimate making it more versatile.
