Tropical Flora 48 For Women

Tropical Flora 48 opens on a juicy rush of ripe guava and watery coconut, the unmistakable tropical-beach signature of Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa '48. The dupe leans into that fruit hard, sweet and sunny from the first spray, and like the original it can tip toward a candied, almost bubble-gum sweetness if over-applied. The heart adds a soft floral lift of orchid with a squeeze of lemon and a powdery orris touch, keeping it from being purely fruit. The drydown is a creamy vanilla-and-musk cloud, warm and a little gourmand, that wraps the fruit in comfort. As an eau de parfum it outlasts the original body mist, which was famously short-lived, giving better longevity while keeping projection moderate. A fun, summery fruity scent for casual warm-weather days and easygoing dates.
