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.
Rhubarb, bergamot, and green lemon open with fresh, verdant brightness. Jasmine, green tea, and fennel bloom at the heart, evoking the lushness of a sun-drenched garden.
