This is the sort of perfume I wouldn't usually like as it is quite powdery, yet after buying a sample, I can't stop smelling my wrist. It is certainly a very elegant, classy and gentle fragrance, that I imagine is best for day time during the spring and summer months. As if often the way with good-quality understated perfumes, it really sinks into the skin and smells as though it has been your signature scent forever. I certainly wouldn't say this is tropical. More, a soapy, floral scent with a slight hint of honey. It smells like a rich lady who has just stepped out of the shower. A sophisticated fragrance that smells expensive, I'd say. It won't wow you or knock your socks off, but gorgeous nonetheless. It has kept its place on my wish list.
