ACCRA

The mango and papaya hit right away, but it’s that spicy woody base underneath that keeps it from being just another sweet tropical scent. I put it on this morning and could still catch whiffs of it on my scarf after work—the heat really does come through.

Every time I wear this I get stopped by someone asking what the scent is—the mango and papaya are so juicy upfront, but the woody spice underneath keeps it from being too sweet. It lasts a full workday on my skin, which is rare for a fruity perfume.

Sprayed this on before a hot afternoon out, and the spicy-woody base really balances the tropical fruit without turning sugary. The passion fruit note lingers for hours, but it's the enveloping warmth that keeps pulling me back to my wrist. Definitely my new go-to for summer evenings.
