Lorenzo Pazzaglia | Tropikalys Karma | Extrait de Parfum
Tropikalys Karma is a vibrant, hyper-saturated floral-fruity-gourmand fragrance launched in 2026 by perfumer Lorenzo Pazzaglia. True to Pazzaglia’s signature style of creating complex, maximalist juices, this fragrance is formulated to behave like a rich, almost drinkable tropical smoothie overflowing with color and energy. It shatters the mold of standard, synthetic suntan-lotion profiles by weaving an explosive, multi-layered tapestry of real exotic fruit flesh, lactonic textures, and sacred resins. The scent opens with a mouthwatering, heavy-hitting canopy of buttery coconut, velvety papaya, and bright pineapple, sharp starchiness from star fruit, and rare tropical nuances of guanabana and mangosteen. It shifts into an ultra-creamy heart where a dense mango smoothie accord and fresh milk blend seamlessly with banana, flambéed peach, yellow pitaya, and lychee. The composition finally settles into an exceptionally smooth, warm baseline of amber woods, musky vanilla, and mysterious tendrils of myrrh and boswellia incense, uniquely texturized by a sunny, distinct touch of plantain.
