Marc Jacobs Tropical Splash Kumquat is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Richard Herpin. Tropical Splash Kumquat opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Kumquat, Jasmine, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Cedar. Marc Jacobs's Tropical Splash Kumquat carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one is a divisive summer splash - some adore its innocent, light citrus, while others find it too simple, too fleeting, and a bit too much like fruit juice. If 'refreshing' is your mantra for hot days, this might be your jam, but don't expect it to turn heads.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its extremely light projection and short longevity make it perfect for the office or casual wear where anything too strong would be inappropriate. However, it lacks the depth and presence for formal events or romantic dates, performing best as a quick, refreshing spritz for any time of day.

About

Tropical Splash Kumquat opens with a zesty, juicy burst of tangerine, orange, and bergamot, radiating pure sunshine. This vibrant citrus quickly mingles with the unusual, tart-sweet kumquat, softened by hints of jasmine and orchid. The dry down is understated, a whisper of clean musk and soft cedar that barely registers, leaving a light, ethereal trail.
