If You Want to Smell Like an Expensive Tropical Holiday, These Are the Perfumes to Wear

Key notes: Banana, coconut cream, pear, gardenia, jasmine, sandalwood, rum, vanilla bourbon

Maui Sweet Banana 37 was created to replicate the smell of a tropical holiday. With notes of bananas, coconut cream and vanilla bourbon, this fresh but fruity fragrance is sure to evoke memories of your favourite sun-kissed vacation.

Key notes: Coconut milk, lemon, cedar, heliotrope, bergamot, musk, pink pepper, ylang-ylang.

If you're looking for an everyday scent that's not too overpowering, Maison Margiela's Beach Walk is a lightweight EdT that features beachy notes of coconut milk, lemon, bergamot and ylang-ylang. Despite its lower fragrance oil concentration, reviewers have praised this scent for lasting all day.

Key notes: Mango, blackberry, black pepper, wild orris, black lotus, jasmine, patchouli, vanilla, pink sugar

Mango Skin by Vilhelm Parfumerie perfectly blends the fruity notes of mango and blackcurrant with woody patchouli and spicy black pepper. This more sophisticated take on a tropical scent makes it perfect for night outs or formal events.

Key notes: Coconut, freesia, bergamot, gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, white musk, vanilla, ambroxan

With notes of coconut, freesia, orange blossom and ambroxan, Lust for Sun is the ideal holiday fragrance. And the best part? You can also buy this scent in a smaller 50ml or 7.5ml to ensure you get through airport security with ease.

Key notes: Dragon Fruit, pineapple, watermelon, plum blossom, lotus flower, peony, sugared amber, vanilla bean, sandalwood

I've used a number of Phlur body mists, and I'm always impressed with how long-lasting they are. And according to reviews, this dragon fruit spray is no different. The gorgeous mix of dragon fruit with plum blossom and sandalwood makes for a scent that is sure to earn you loads of compliments.

Key notes: Tiare, ylang-ylang, coconut, vanilla, guaiac wood, labdanum, neroli

Killian Sunkissed Goddess was recommended to me by my fellow editor, Grace Lindsay, and it did not disappoint. It's a floral fragrance that features tropical flower tiare as well as coconut and neroli.

Key notes: Passionfruit, peach, vanilla

If you're in need of a tropical fragrance that won't break the bank, look no further than The Body Shop's Passionfruit body mist. It only contains three notes (passionfruit, peach and vanilla), but reviewers have described it as "paradise in a bottle", so it's definitely worth the blind buy.

Key notes: Frangipani, lemon, ylang ylang, sandalwood

For those who find fruity fragrances a little too overpowering, Jo Malone's Frangipani Flower cologne is a much more subtle perfume that focuses on the flowers that grow across the beaches of Bali. Frangipani, lemon, ylang ylang and sandalwood blend together to create a floral-lactonic scent that you can wear for any occasion.

Key notes: Guava, mandarin, cardamom, Madagascan oud, peony, rose, geranium, amber, Madagascan patchouli, cypriol

If, like me, you love oud, you need to smell Born To Stand Out's Black Guava. It does come with a price point that's higher than most, but the mix of guava, Madagascan oud, rose and patchouli makes for a fruity-smoky scent that you won't be able to put down.

Key notes: Lychee, strawberry, marshmallow, apricot, rose, milk, violet, magnolia, vanilla, praline, musk, sandalwood

Angel Soirée by Le Monde Gourmand channels the sparkling sweetness of a lychee martini on a beach getaway. Despite being in the gourmand family, it manages to remain elegant and grown-up whilst still feeling modern.

Key notes: Guava, banana, coconut, melon, mango, water lily, bergamot, vanilla, sandalwood, almond milk

If you're a fruity fragrance enthusiast, Guava Granita is the perfect pick for you. Formulated with HALOSCENT® technology to extend the wear without smelling too overpowering, the scent features five different tropical fruits to give you that sun-soaked getaway feeling even when at home.
