A different idea of tropical from the late 70's
This treasure is a good example of what a tropical scent used mean some decades ago. Nothing of what you would expect today by such an adjective. This has coconut as a leading note but it is never alone but perfectly blended with the rest of the notes. It is a sweet animalic floral, with deep spicy and woody aspects. Very charming, addictive and easy to wear, as long as you are open to vintage smells.
I agree with those who mention this would be in the same family as Balenciaga's Michelle which is also extremely beautiful but has a more prominent tuberose. But without being twin scents to me.
I love the thick slightly powdery dry down of this lost vintage, such a much better take IMHO on the concept of tropical than that of most of the new cheap yogurt flavor "tropical" perfumes made nowadays.
