Tropical Kiss EDP
Though sharing many notes, Soleil de Jeddah - Mango Kiss (A) and Tropical Kiss (B) diverge significantly in their overall impression. A presents a creamier, potentially more palatable mango, while B leans heavily into herbal and green facets, resulting in a dustier and sometimes polarizing experience. The key difference lies in the execution of the shared notes. If you prefer a smoother, sweeter tropical scent, A is the better choice. However, if you're seeking a unique and challenging herbal-tropical fragrance, B might be more appealing. Price also plays a role, with B being the more affordable option.

This one's a definite conversation starter, not a crowd-pleaser for every nose. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some adoring its niche, herbal mango and others finding it too green, dusty, or even just 'cow poop-y'. Proceed with caution.
