Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive cocktail; you'll either swoon over its tropical fruitiness or be put off by what some call a plasticky, pickle-like edge. For many, though, it's straight-up summer in a bottle, perfect for channeling your inner Malibu Barbie.
Tropical Flora 48 channels Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa '48, the guava-and-coconut beach mist. As an EDP, Perfume Parlour gives it more body and longevity than the fleeting original body spray, though it pushes the sweetness toward the same bubble-gum edge reviewers flag on the Sol de Janeiro.

Seasons
The juicy tropical fruit and coconut are built for summer heat, peaking in warm weather and feeling out of place in winter.
