What does Rockaway Beach smell like?

It opens with blackcurrant, mango and yuzu, a bright mix of citrus and fruit. The heart brings wine lees, Dewfruit® and water jasmine, where the floral and aquatic sides come forward. The base of caramel, cedarwood and musk softens and sweetens it, with a spicy and slightly synthetic note running through.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as moderate, so it neither disappears nor fills a room. Most voters pick it for leisure, followed by daily wear and evenings. It is marketed to men and has a close profile to Benetton United Colors of Benetton Man and Joop! Nightflight.
