by Tommy Bahama
Tommy Bahama is a soft, floral-woody scent with a prominent tuberose and frangipani heart, supported by citrus top notes of bergamot and clementine. The fragrance evolves into a round, sweetly floral composition with a subtle nectarine and green musk drydown, evoking a light tropical or seaside atmosphere. It is perceived as clean, inoffensive, and generally well-blended, with a sillage moderate to strong and longevity that ranges from moderate to long on some skin types. Many find it reminiscent of classic 1980s florals like Ysatis or Oscar de la Renta, or newer tropical scents such as Usher UR for Women, rather than a bold or original statement. It is most frequently suggested for warm weather, especially daytime wear during spring and summer. While some praise its elegant, timeless quality and feel of natural freshness, others report it as cloying, synthetic, overly sweet, or reminiscent of suntan lotion — often leading to disappointment or rejection. It is perceived as a 'bath bomb' type of fragrance, more suited to casual or mature wear than to those seeking a distinctive or complex signature scent.
