Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
The Fragrance: Tropical and lush notes of marine mist, tangelo, and black coconut mix with fresh notes of sea kelp, yarrow, and geranium, before deepening into base notes of amberwood, tonka bean, and musk. The Feeling: It’s a scorching hot day in the Miami sun as you take your first sip of an ice cold margarita.
Nashi pear and mirabelle plum meet mandarin in a crisp, clean opening. Waterlily and iris drift through lily of the valley at the heart, softening the scent while maintaining clarity.
