⭐ 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.
