Tropical Summer Gourmand

As always, FULL DISCLOSURE: I received a SAMPLE SIZE 1.5ml for free in return for a review of this fragrance. Let's start off with stating the facts. This one was hyped like there was no tomorrow. Saying it was a perfect summer fragrance, lasted forever, and somewhat unique compared to all others... that have come out lately. It's definitely unique, it is not a bad summer fragrance, and longevity wasn't too bad either along with projection. Opens up a very candied fig note along with some coconut, and maybe a hint of sandalwood in the background, and in my opinion, leans more feminine than unisex. People complain about the opening, I actually didn't mind it, I think it was my favorite part and kind of like it. A lot. Unfortunately, fig does not dry down well with my skin and comes off super plasticy and overly sweet. I don't want to say that I hate this fragrance, but for me, it's a little too juvenile. It doesn't smell bad at all, I'm just not a fan of overly sweet fragrances on my skin, as they normally don't work well. I can smell this all day in air, but I can't personally see myself wearing it as it's cloying to the user. Reminiscent to the Dolce and Gabbana K Line; it's weird and plasticy, but this one is significantly better. Again, in my opinion. Overall, I'd give this an above average rating. 7.5, maybe and 8/10. Not something I would purchase for myself, but would not mind being gifted a bottle of it. Don't think I'd wear often though lol. It's a step in a good direction by a designer house, dare I say it is well blended? I appreciate it for what it is; A summer gourmand! Not bad, JPG!
