What does 9°55'N 84°05'W - Costa Rica smell like?

It opens with ginger, coffee and lemon: the lemon brightens, the ginger adds bite, and the coffee brings a gourmand warmth. Frangipani, jasmine and heliotrope soften the heart into something floral. Vanilla, sandalwood and cashmeran settle the base into a creamy, woody sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, with summer the least favoured. It suits daily wear, leisure time and evenings alike. Voters lean slightly feminine, but a sizeable share call it masculine, so it sits comfortably between the two. Jovoy Remember Me and Santa Maria Novella Vaniglia have a close profile.
