Tropical Kiss captures the fruity-floral character of Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss reasonably well, with the citrus and osmanthus heart notes translating effectively. However, the clone leans more heavily into the mango sweetness while softening the leather and chamomile complexity found in the original, resulting in a more linear tropical fragrance.
The clone emphasizes mango as a prominent note rather than supporting the iris-osmanthus interplay, and notably lacks the leather depth and chamomile's herbal nuance that give the original its sophisticated character. Longevity and sillage are likely diminished due to the absence of ambergris prominence in the base.
What people who wear French Avenue Tropical Kiss report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community. Created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac.
“I don't usually like fruity fragrances but this is really good. I blind bought it and I absolutely love it. The mango smell does not smell herbal(from unripe mango skin), it smells like ripe mango skin. It's a true tropical, summery fragrance. I spray tested it on my wrist at work when I first got it and got a ton of complements from both genders. If you like gourmand scents,(or fruity) you will absolutely love this.Update: It doesn't last long.”
“Instantly in love with this. It's fresh, sweet but not too sweet, green but not too green. And then when it starts to dry down, it sweetens and mellows, but doesn't lose strength. It smells EXPENSIVE and I would have thought it was niche if I smelled it on someone else first. Such a great summer day/night scent. Love it.”
“I've had this a couple of months now, and it still has a very bitter note that over-rides everything else, especially on my clothes. On skin alone, it isn't quit as bad on the dry down but for the first 30 min of wearing it, it just smells bitter and quite masculine. Hopefully by next summer, with a good 8 months of oxidation, it will even out to the scent that so many people rave about. I definately didn't get that version!”
