Pink Retreat

Pink Retreat from Hawaiian Tropic is a sweet, fruity floral released in 2017 and worn by anyone. Everyone who has described it finds it gourmand, musky, floral and citrusy in equal measure.

Five notes are listed, without a pyramid. Orange gives a juicy, sunny citrus brightness at the start. Guava brings a tropical, slightly musky sweetness that is the clearest source of the gourmand impression here, more ripe fruit than cake. Freesia and cyclamen form a light, fresh, slightly peppery floral heart, airy rather than heady. Musk sits underneath, soft and clean, which is what makes the whole thing feel smooth and wearable rather than sharp.

There are not yet enough wear reports to describe how long it lasts or how far it projects. The notes suggest warm-weather daytime use, at the beach or in town, for someone who wants fruit and flowers kept light and uncomplicated.
