oh i have some ideas because these are my favorite scents!
-Escada Rockin' Rio + Pacific Paradise. Im guessing their new one sunset heat is good too, but I havent smelled it yet.
Rockin Rio is by far my favorite, but it was limeted edition so it may be tricky to find in stores ( i found mine at Loehmans)
-Ralph Lauren Hot is one of my favorites it has sort of a coconut type smell.
I know i have more, so I'll keep thinking and post more when i remember.

Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Dreams.
Its AMAZING imo!!! check it out at Sephora
I would maybe shy away from Escadas secents, they tend to be on the sticky sickly sweet side in my experience (but I like that so I love them haha)

I third 'Incanto Charms' it's one of my personal faves & I usually don't like scents that are super sweet (ie Pink Sugar etc).

try YSL Young Sexy Lovely.. it's my new scent for spring.. sweet, but nice... not sure if categorized as tropical, but there's fruity notes and a slight citrus
From NowSmellThis:
"The light and joyful Young Sexy Lovely is the result of a perfect blend of well-selected fruits. The aromatic recipe includes luminous Nashi pears, sparkling Italian mandarin and fresh blackcurrant. This fruity bouquet is then wrapped in a mist of cherry blossoms, transparent and light, a few Chinese magnolia petals here and there and the velvety scent of vineyard peach. The comfort of crystalline musks, the roundness of amber and the generosity of cedarwood also help reveal the tenderness and sensuality of this new eau de toilette. (via bangkokpost)"

either of these from estee lauder
pleasures-"It is a delightful sheer floral created from lilies and peonies, jasmine and Karo-Karounde blossoms, all tingling with the rare essence of exotic Baie Rose." really clean and floral. I love it.
beautiful-violets and lilies, roses and lilacs, marigold and orange blossoms (its very a warm woody based and a little citrus. very sophisticated and clean.)

Escada Sunet Heat!!! Omg, it's really nice (I love their fragrances). It smells like papaya and sanadlwood. Very tropical without being too sweet.
Island Micheal Kors Hawaii is also nice, it smells like clementines and ginger.

Definately Incanto Charms by Salvatore Ferragamo. I tried this today for the first time and OMG its really really heavenly fruity gooddddd!!
I have been eye-ing on Incanto Dream and Incanto Shine but I am hearing mixed review about these. Dream as not good as charms and weak staying power of Shine.
Escada pacific paradise is good and rockin rio as well!
