What does Born in Paradise smell like?

It opens with green apple, watermelon and guava, then softens into coconut milk and pineapple at the heart. Musk, cedar and sandalwood settle underneath and give the fruity sweetness a plain base. Aquatic and floral touches keep it fresh, while the gourmand side stays in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it is chosen mostly for leisure and daily wear, with some picking it for the office. Around half of voters call it feminine, and many also see it as modern.
