Whipped Cherry, Citron Fig and Radiant Nectar are a few of the fruity scents that make up [CLEAN Beauty Collective’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-classic-tropical-escape) Clean Reserve collection, which recently expanded to include a Sun-Kissed Papaya perfume. This creamy, tropical scent is a fruity floral gourmand described as “juicy but never sugary,” capturing the essence of a late afternoon in Rio.

Papaya, other [tropical fruits and sparkling mandarin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creme-de-clementine) are among the first notes to introduce themselves in this well-balanced composition. Clean Reserve Sun-Kissed Papaya is sweetened by coconut cream, vanilla and tonka, but it also delivers depth and sophistication from jasmine and plum. Unlike some gourmands that are too cloying for warm-weather enjoyment, Sun-Kissed Papaya was intentionally crafted as “[a sun-drenched gourmand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olibanum-eau-de-parfum) made to be lived in.”
