What does Ryukyu / 琉球 smell like?

The fruity and salty sides come through together: mango and pineapple bring sweetness while sea salt and sea breeze cool it down. Hibiscus and frangipani add a floral layer, and kokutō sugar and musk soften the sweetness. The accords lean fresh, aquatic and floral, with a spicy touch.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted. Voters pick it most for leisure and evening, with night out close behind. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. It has been discontinued. Comptoir Sud Pacifique Hémisphère Sud and Escada Nectar de Costa Rica have a close profile.
