Fragrance Description: A fruity floral fragrance with notes of bright mandarin, juicy papaya and mango, contrasted with creamy white frangipani florals, smooth sandalwood, and vanilla for a transportive, beachy scent that’s both sophisticated and addicting. Crafted with 20 percent fragrance oil, this luxury fragrance offers long-lasting wear and bold presence.
About the Bottle: The flask-shaped bottle was inspired by the flasks used in speakeasies during the 1920s prohibition era. It’s perfect for housing the enticing and delectable ingredients of each fragrance.
About the Fragrance: Inspired by a majestic sunset over the Pacific Ocean, it’s an homage to the magic moment when the setting sun meets the rising moon. Opening with a burst of bright mandarin, it deepens to a base of sandalwood and vanilla, mirroring the descent of the sun.
Chris Collins Sunset in Tamarindo did not disappoint at all! I was completely influenced by the internet to purchase this because it is so hard to find an in-store tester. Only a few Sephora locations even carry the testers, and every single one I encountered was completely empty. I took a gamble on a blind buy, and it was well appreciated!The Scent Profile: The fruit notes in this are beautifully executed. The combination of juicy mango and papaya mixed with that smooth, gorgeous vanilla is absolute magic. It is bright, intoxicating, and a wonderful scent combo.Performance: Unlike many other fruity summer fragrances, this one projects amazingly well. The longevity is incredible and makes the bottle worth every single penny.Final Verdict: I absolutely love it. If you love tropical, fruit-forward scents with a stunning vanilla dry down, this is a safe, high-performing blind buy.

Tropical, Sophisticated & Absolutely Gorgeous
Chris Collins African Rooibos Sunset in Tamarindo – Papaya y Mango is tropical done beautifully. The fruity notes give it a juicy, vibrant opening, but it never becomes overly sweet or smells like a fruity body spray. It has a smooth, sophisticated quality that makes it feel much more elevated.
I love how the tropical fruitiness settles into something warm and sensual on my skin. It gives vacation, sunshine and beautiful glowing skin while still feeling grown and polished.
If you enjoy tropical fragrances but want something that feels luxurious rather than overly sugary, this is definitely worth trying. Beautiful, unique and absolutely full-bottle worthy!

the best mango scent, hands down.
5/5, no notes. bright, juicy, tropical fruit in the opening. the fruit eventually mellows and the frangipani comes out, pretty strong... almost indolic, in the way white and yellow florals can be, but it doesnt go all the way there. the dry down is very creamy and the sandalwood adds an almost nutty edge to it. meanwhile, just enough of the fruitiness from the top notes lingers in the background.
longevity is insane - its been maybe 20 hours and I can still smell it.

15 minutes tops.
Smells AMAZING for 15 minutes!! Chris should be ashamed of himself. If you must try this, get the travel size so you don't waste your money. Can't wait for the extrait. This has so much potential!!!

Perfect summertime fragrance
This is tropical paradise! Juicy mango with fresh papaya, the fragrance comes just in time for the summer. I brought it with me for a weekend getaway at a beach resort and it performed so well under the sun. This is truly sunshine in a bottle, with beast performance and projection. Delicious and photo realistic! What a wonderful gem!

Long lasting tropical fruit 🥭
Really like this one. Unlike the other recent fragrances that claim to be juicy mango, this does smell like juicy ripe mango to me. I’ve been wanting a fruity tropical scent for a while, and I am happy that I came across this one. It also lasts. The only weird thing was having no protective cellophane cover . Other CC fragrances came with a protective cover. So I wasn’t sure if the fragrance was brand new or tested already.

This is a 10/10! I’m new to the fragrance world and I get compliments everywhere I go when I wear this perfume — church, the Dr office to networking events! Just yesterday a woman walked by me in the store and said, “What are you wearing?” It’s Chris Collins Sunset In Tamarindo.
