Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tropica
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Fico d'India
A divisive little number, this one. While some find its fruity, tropical cocktail vibe utterly delightful for summer, others moan about its short-lived presence and the surprising bitterness lurking beneath the surface. It's a sunshine scent, but don't expect it to linger.
