Beautiful fruit salad bouquet---sweet, fresh, realistic, balanced
Urban Tropicalia is one of a trio (the “Essentials”) of limited editions from Six Scents Parfums / Parfums Quartana / Joseph Quartana, a 2020 re-release of a 2008 offering, “Series 1:, No. 1: Urban Tropicalia by Alexandre Herchcovitch.”
Urban Tropicalia is an aptly-named fruity mix that does make me feel like I’m in tropical rainforest or at least the produce aisle that features its spoils. It’s a well-balanced mix that involves the bright tartness of citrus and the more indulgent, sweet, fruitiness of other fruits, with the standout notes to me being blackcurrant, lime, and apple, with hints of florals, woods, musk, and just a pinch of cinnamon.
I often shy away from fragrances that seem like medleys of tropical fruits, but Urban Tropicalia is well-executed, an enjoyable, fresh, realistic “fruit salad” rather than something too sugary or synthetic along the lines of “fruit punch.”
Urban Tropicalia is in EDP concentration at a price of $53 for 30ml bottle, certainly a bargain for something so well put together. Along with #087, I’ll be picking up a bottle of this. This is delightful.
