Leisure in Paradise

this is the first fragrance to ever put tropical notes and coconut without adding florals. That is why I purchased it because I'm allergic to flowers. It is hands-down, the best fragrance ever created and I own over 200 perfumes.

This smells like the most luxurious, tropical scented hair conditioner. It is expensive smelling without trying to hard. It's summery, without smelling like straight up sunscreen or a tropical drink. I really feel like this is a great summer perfume for those who don't typically love most summery fragrances. After smelling my sample it went straight to my wishlist for next summer!

3/10 I am disappointed. It reminds me of those affordable vanilla + coconut body sprays. Feels generic, uninspiring, even cloggy from the sweetness. I don’t get any tropical vibes from it.

Leisure in Paradise is the summer scent final boss fr... a true piña colada with a heavy dose of (almost overripe) papaya. Coconutty vanilla drydown, but the fruit still lingers. The pineapple and papaya notes aren't super realistic, but rather more of a pineapple Haribo or a pineapple Jarrito vibe. I don't get any woody notes in this, just layers upon layers of coconut whipped cream and pineapple slices.

Imagine a freshly made juice with papaya, pineapple and a splash of coconut water with the coconut pulp still in it. This is not your typical piña colada fragrance, and it definitely isn't another generic coconut-heavy summer perfume. The papaya is what makes it stand out. The vanilla is beautifully blended. It doesn't make the fragrance sugary or dessert-like. Instead, it smooths everything out and gives the fruits a soft, creamy feel. The funny thing is that I actually hate eating papaya. I can't stand the fruit. Yet somehow, in this perfume, it works beautifully. Mixed with the pineapple and coconut, it creates something unique that I haven't found in other fragrances. I can picture myself wearing this while walking along the beach in the late afternoon, having dinner at a seaside restaurant, or enjoying drinks on a terrace just before sunset. It also works surprisingly well for warm summer evenings because it feels tropical without smelling cheap, overly sweet or like sunscreen. The projection is moderate at first and gradually becomes more intimate after a few hours, which I actually enjoy because people notice it when they're close without it filling an entire room. On my clothes, it lasts around 8 hours, which is very good for this type of fragrance. Yes, it's expensive. But honestly, I haven't found another fragrance at a lower price that captures this papaya note so naturally. That's exactly what separates it from the countless summer fragrances that all end up smelling like coconut and piña coladas. If you're looking for another generic tropical fragrance, this probably isn't it. But if you want something elegant, unique and unmistakably summery, it's absolutely worth trying.

my bottle is almost gone. i refuse to use it so it ends 😭 i will guard the 10ml left with my life. because i really love perfumes and always want to try new things, i never buy a perfume twice, ever! but this one… oh i probably will, I ADORE IT, simple as that. crazy loving sexy fun summer, windy boats palm trees and sweaty dancing nights with tan skin.

All in all a pretty meh fragrance. Reminds of that cake, the pannetone I think it’s called, but also like a very old Italian lady. Dries down to that same raisin-y smell, doesn’t last or project very but I remember putting it on before bed and smelling that raisin smell the morning.

LET ME START BY SAYING I OWN OVER 200 PERFUMES, AND THIS IS ONE I WILL KEEP TO GIVE UP EVERY OTHER PERUMFE. SCENT WISE, THIS BRAND IS THE ONLY BRAND TO TAKE FRUIT AND COCONUT AND NOT MAKE IT FLORAL!!!!! like sunplosion became tooooooo floral! this right here is 10/10!! IS IT WORTH 200 BUCKS? NO PERFUME IS BUT ILL BUY IR TEGARDLESS OF THE PRICE. notihn comes close. its not beast mode so you need to bathe in it so if your asking if its loud... nope but its stunnings

Solid summer gourmand, good performance, fruity in the opening, creamy in the dry down. Blind buy safe.....probably....

Been sampling lots of summer fragrances particularly ones marketed as tropical. I love Virgin Island Water and have looked for other fragrances that make good use of coconut note/ pina coloda accord etc. Mostly all terrible disappointments. This one is not unisex. It’s basically a super sweet very young 25 and under designerish fruity/ sweet generic sweet feminine fragrance. I’ve been amazed at just how out of control all the social media hype has gotten. A lot of these reviewers/influencers are reading off a bunch of marketing notes. Don’t get me started on the hype around City Rhythm. Such cheap crap. So misleading also.

i have to agree with another reviewer who said that this is a cleaner and less nauseating version of cruz del sur II by xerjoff. dripping mango and sweet coconut with good sillage. not complex or challenging by any means. i enjoy the vanilla in this, it’s blended well with the tropical notes. solid and inoffensive. very sweet

Cruz del sur 2 with no guava or throwup. Brighter mango more coconut

Very sweet coconut scent that almost smells like playdoh in some parts. The dry down is also very creamy but I do not detect any papaya notes in here at all. I also do not detect any sour-ish notes in here

I have been on the search for the most decadent, tropical cocktail perfume; and this definitely hits the mark. It’s almost like a gourmand tropical, you get the sweetness from the fruits but also this creaminess from the coconut and vanilla with stunning subtle woods in the background. It also tends to last longer than most tropical scents I have tried. One of my new favourites !

Loveeeeeeeeeeeeee! This is a summer powerhouse. You will smell like a tropical drink, project, and it last all day. I love every bottle I've ever gotten by Simone Andreoli. She just blends well.

It's so creme so addictive perfect for the summer very realistic on the notes

This is so bad. I purchased a spray sample from Scent Split and it smells like…. I have equal parts spray sunscreen and gasoline. Not wearable for me

If you’re thinking about purchasing this because you love coconut notes in a perfume, be aware that the papaya completely takes over. But that’s not to say that this isn’t a beautiful scent - I just get a lot more of the papaya and woody notes than I anticipated. As it dries down and wears on the skin for an hour or so, I get more of the ‘sunscreen’ element that this scent is known for. Great summer pick for sure, I just wish it was sweeter.

smells like throw up on skin, but smells like a really good perfume in the air

I wish this had less papaya and more coconut. :(

Isn’t this Xerjoff’s Cruz del Sur 2? Creamy sticky ripe mango + vanilla cream topped with the slightest of coconut drizzles. Pretty sure there’s a container of this juice in a facility, where both Simone Andreoli and Xerjoff fill up their bottles from the same source. It’s 100% the same, laconic elements, the mango, it all matches.

i got a sample from this. the opening was so sour i regretted trying it on a day i needed to go outside. however after an hour i was like “what smells so good” and realized it was me. smells like vanilla, coconut and warm fruit not juicy fruit. like imagine having a vanilla/coconut lotion on while eating tropical fruits that’s been sitting in the hot sun all day. i wouldn’t wear this in hot weather, it’s to sweet and warm. maybe i will get a travel size because i do like it but we’ll see.

Genuinely smell play dough when I spray this on my skin. Very sad about it wanted to love it 🤧

I’ve been exploring a few scents from this house so I blind bought a bunch of decants to try from the house. I haven’t come across anything from this house that has disappointed me yet a this is another winners a summer tropical fruit coconut scent that is perfectly unisex balanced. I found a couple of similar fragrances in this scent profile to have a little something that makes them a bit masculine on my skin but this one is great for me. It’s sweet but not too sweet and yet the coconut isn’t dominant. It smells clean and not too cloying which I can find some fruity scents can be to me. Definitely a scent I would consider a full bottle of for summer

I’m on the hunt for a nice tropical scent to add to my collection, This could be one but the papaya note is giving faint vomit, and the pineapple is a little bit pronounced. I don’t get the coconut note at all, but overall it reminds me of a fruity butterscotch candy from my childhood in the dry down. It’s pretty light and not long lasting.

call it what you want, this is a butterscotch fragrance.

Its marketed as a tropical summery fragrance but to me its more of an autumn / winter scent. The opening is very sweet & fruity but after 10 mins the vanilla and woods are the most prominent notes to me. The vanilla is very soft and maybe slightly feminine, this smells amazing on my girlfriend but I as a man would happily wear it too.

OH MY GOD I WANT TO BATHE IN THIS!!! I’m fighting the impulse to buy a full bottle before wearing this decant that arrived today a few times, first. I can’t wait to wear this in summer! Edit: I gave in and bought a full sized bottle.

On first smell I was in love.. but what was love turned to lust and then to 1992 sandbox play dough. I wanted to love this so much as the initial 20 minutes was wonderfully coconut juicy watery sweetness. After the dry down the woody play dough note hit and I can not.. not smell it. Her Sunsplosion is 100x better for the summer vibes scent.

Sick sick sick. I love it. Absolutely amazing and I just want to fuck myself when I am wearing it.
