SyntheticWhat does Curaçao smell like?
The top notes are lime and blood orange, so it opens with a sharp, bright citrus. The heart of apricot, pear and violet softens that brightness, and the aquatic, synthetic-leaning scent turns fruity and floral. In the base, musk and white moss leave a light, clean ground.
Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, and most voters place it in leisure, daily and business settings. It has been discontinued. Carner Sal y Limón and Calvin Klein CK One (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
