Hi there! Today’s post is about Yves Rocher Retropical Eau De Toilette. Retropical is a limited edition fragrance, and I bought it off someone for £10. What a bargain! And yes, I’m really pleased with myself! 🙂
Before we get to the actual review, let me tell you a little more about the fragrance. Retropical contains fruity and aquatic notes (top note), floral notes (heart note) and warm woody notes (base note). I would have loved to know the actual fruits, flowers and woods. But Yves Rocher wasn’t more specific. Ah well…
So what’s the fragrance really like? It’s the dreamiest blend of marzipan, oranges, bubblegum, honey and sunlight. It’s sweet (adult-sweet, NOT sugary), tropical, warm, cuddly, exotic and happy. It smells like… the most beautiful relaxing summer holiday. Well done, Yves Rocher!
Yves Rocher Retropical is a limited edition fragrance from 2013. You won’t find it in YR stores or on YR’s web site anymore. So if you’re interested in this fragrance, look online. I see YR’s older limited editions popping up on that auction web site all the time. 😉

Retropical is a GREAT name! And the scent description sounds fabulous – I wish I could smell it in person!
I find that fragrantica is a good resource for perfume notes:

Says it’s got SAND as a note!?!

You’re right, fragrantica can be really useful, but the information on their web site doesn’t always match the information provided on the brands’ web sites. Like in this case.
And yes, the name Retropical is great. I love it too.

I had the shower gel in this scent! It’s pretty! I always like to pick up their LE fragrances on clearance, haha.
