Which Should You Buy?
A divisive fruity floral that promises a playful, sweet escapade. Expect a light, close-wearing scent perfect for daily wear, but be prepared for its fleeting presence. The bottle's more memorable than the juice, though some find it a delightful, nostalgic hit.
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.

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.
