SyntheticWhat does Curaçao Bay smell like?
Most voters pick summer and spring; it leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also suits the office. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Feminine and masculine votes are almost level, so it sits evenly between the two. Bolgherello Acqua Vignolina and Zara Lisboa have a close profile.
Green notes add coolness to the citrus top. The heart brings blackcurrant, marine notes and frangipani, where the fruity, aquatic and floral sides come through. In the base, woody notes, white musk and ambergris sweeten it slightly and dry it down creamy and soft.
