Summary • Opening Blast: Absolute explosion of juicy tropical goodness right from the start - mangosteen, coconut, papaya, pineapple, star fruit, grapefruit, and apple all blending into this insanely vibrant, almost drinkable island smoothie. It’s pure sunshine in a bottle! • Heart Notes: Dives deep into creamy mango, banana, peach, melon, lychee, mulberry, and milky accords with soft violet and geranium. So smooth, indulgent, and fruity - it’s addictive! • Dry Down: Warms up beautifully into musky vanilla, amber, patchouli, myrrh, and a hint of plantain. Sweet, cozy, and still bursting with that sunny tropical energy. Obsessed! • Vibe & Performance: Bold, happy, and full of life - the ultimate summer banger. As an extrait it projects like a beast and lasts 8+ hours easy. Unisex but radiates fun and joy. • Seasons: Prime time is spring and summer — it shines brightest in warm weather, beach days, and hot sunny vibes. You can pull it off in early fall too if you want that tropical escape, and I think this can be worn year round. It’s definitely a warm-weather superstar but versatile enough for any season. • My Take as a Huge Fan: You guys already know I’m obsessed with Lorenzo Pazzaglia’s work and blind buy everything he drops, but Tropikalys Karma is next level genius! This one takes tropical fruits to an entirely different dimension — absolute perfection. I tried Gin Fusion as well and it is also top tier and blind buy worthy, but that’s for another post. Last night I wore it at Pier 39 Fisherman’s Wharf with my significant other. The waiters and waitresses could not stop smelling me — it was hilarious. Then I looked toward the back of the restaurant and there was Lorenzo eating with two other guys. I didn’t want to interrupt his dinner so I said nothing to the staff. What a crazy small-world moment! He and his company are completely humble and fantastic people — good-hearted, kind, and all-around gentlemen. His passion really shows through his interactions!!!

Riassunto • Opening Blast: Esplosione assoluta di bontà tropicale succosa fin dal primo istante: mangosteen, cocco, papaya, ananas, star fruit, pompelmo e mela che si fondono in questo smoothie isolano incredibilmente vibrante, quasi bevibile. È pura luce di sole in bottiglia! • Heart Notes: Si tuffa in profondità tra mango cremoso, banana, pesca, melone, lychee, more e accordi lattosi con violetta e geranio delicati. Così morbido, goloso e fruttato… è irresistibile! • Dry Down: Si scalda magnificamente in vaniglia muschiata, ambra, patchouli, mirra e un tocco di platano. Dolce, avvolgente e ancora pieno di quell’energia tropicale soleggiata. Ossessionato! • Vibe & Performance: Audace, felice e pieno di vita — il summer banger per eccellenza. Come extrait proietta da bestia e dura facilmente 8+ ore. Unisex ma irradia gioia e divertimento. • Seasons: Il momento ideale è primavera ed estate — brilla al massimo con il caldo, le giornate in spiaggia e le vibrazioni soleggiate. Si può usare anche all’inizio dell’autunno se vuoi un’evasione tropicale, e penso che si possa indossare tutto l’anno. È decisamente una superstar per il clima caldo ma abbastanza versatile per qualsiasi stagione. • My Take as a Huge Fan: Voi sapete già che sono ossessionato dal lavoro di Lorenzo Pazzaglia e compro tutto alla cieca, ma Tropikalys Karma è un genio di livello superiore! Questo profumo porta i frutti tropicali su un’altra dimensione — perfezione assoluta. Ho provato anche Gin Fusion ed è altrettanto top tier e blind buy worthy, ma ne parlerò in un altro post. Ieri sera l’ho indossato al Pier 39 Fisherman’s Wharf con la mia dolce metà. Cameriere e camerieri non riuscivano a smettere di annusarmi — è stato esilarante. Poi ho guardato verso il fondo del ristorante e c’era Lorenzo che cenava con altri due ragazzi. Non volevo interrompere la sua cena quindi non ho detto niente al personale. Che momento piccolo-mondo assurdo! Lui e la sua azienda sono persone completamente umili e fantastiche — dal cuore buono, gentili e veri signori. La sua passione si vede davvero attraverso le sue interazioni!!!

Lately I've been spending most of my time working on a house or outdoors. Right now I'm sitting in a park in Morgan Utah, waiting for two people to finish a marathon. I've spent the last two weeks traveling and hiking. I finished all Mighty Five national parks last week and took a day to explore SLC. I found the only niche store in the entire state downtown, Solvi. What a fantastic little shop. Maya started the place out of frustration and curated a collection of her favorite brands. I tried almost all of them and we had a nice conversation about her favorite hidden gems and underappreciated brands. I left with a sample set of her favorites, but the highlight of the visit was finally getting Birntostandout Black Guava extrait on my skin. I'm still wearing and I'm very impressed with the brand. Well, right outside her shop was a place called Scents of Wood. It couldn't be? It was called a wood candle shop on the outside. Walking inside, I realized I had just stumbled into the HQ of the niche brand, with literally all their fragrances lined up in front of me. What a happy experience. I tried many, loved them all, and left with a phial of Hinoki in Hinoki. I tried too many things to list right now but I'll post some impressions and reviews at some point.

Unisex. (Edited: inspired by Bleu Talisman) Fruity. Sweet. Mandarin, pear, bergamot, mint, orange blossom blast. Amber and cedar to dry it down and make it stick. Day and night time for spring and summer. Longevity, 6+ hours skin, easily 12+ on clothes. Projection fills the room and Sillage is strong. Careful with the sprays. I (and I stress I) would categorize this as a “beast mode” fragrance. Fair price and awkward bottle that I think some would enjoy the uniqueness (tackiness) of.

Well I saw Sebastian . Hung out with Lorenzo Pazzaglia but can’t find @Antonio Centeno Anyway me and the wife went shopping!!!
