What does Gold Coast smell like?

It opens with red apple, apricot and lychee, which give a bright fruity start. In the heart, watermelon joins rose and rose absolute, and the fruit's freshness turns softly floral. Cedarwood, musk and vanilla in the base sweeten it slightly and settle it onto a gentle ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, business and daily wear as the leading occasions. It reads mostly feminine, with a modern side too. Escada Sorbetto Rosso and Escada Especially Escada have a close profile.
