In summary: it starts with a bright fruity-citrus opening (pineapple & grapefruit), moves into a heart that has an aromatic floral/fig character (lavender + fig), and finishes on a warm gourmand / woody / sweet base (vanilla/tonka/patchouli).

⭐ Character, Wearability & Impressions

Vibe & Style:

The fragrance gives a fruit-forward and sweet feel, thanks to pineapple & grapefruit. Reviewers often mention “ananas bomb”.

The lavender + fig in the heart add an aromatic and slightly green/figgy twist, making it more than just a simple fruity perfume.

The base of vanilla/tonka/patchouli adds warmth, gourmand sweetness and a woody/earthy anchor — making it richer in the dry-down.

Occasions / Seasonality:

Because of the strong fruity opening and sweetness, it works well for daytime wear, especially in the spring/summer and warmer climates.

The warm base also allows a transition into evening wear.

Some users say it is loud and needs to be applied with restraint in very hot/humid conditions.

Versatility: marketed as unisex, so good for anyone who likes this type of scent profile.

Performance (Longevity & Projection):

Mixed feedback. Many users praise good longevity; some say projection is moderate. For example: one review says “couple sprays will last you all day”.

Another user:
“I feel like the duration & projection is nearly non-existent (3-4h close to skin) … maybe maceration problem.”

According to TheScentBase: about 49% of votes rated it “long-lasting (6-10 hrs)”.

So it seems performance may depend on skin, batch, climate and number of sprays.

✅ Why You Might Like It

If you enjoy fruity openings (especially pineapple) and sweet gourmand bases (vanilla, tonka, patchouli), this is a solid match.

Good value: rich profile and contemporary style for the price point.

The mix of fruit + aromatic (lavender) + sweet woods gives a layered feel rather than a flat single-note scent.

Unisex label means it can be shared or used by anyone who likes this style.
