What does Riviera Maya smell like?
Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, then in the evening, and it reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine.
It opens with a sharp citrus burst of mandarin orange, lime and Brazilian orange. In the heart, pineapple, banana, melon and coconut sweeten it into a creamy tropical fruitiness, while sea salt keeps an aquatic freshness running through. The base of sandalwood and amber adds a soft footing, and peppermint carries the coolness to the end.
