Michael Kors Sexy Rio de Janeiro opens with mandarin orange, Brazilian mango and honeysuckle, then moves through rose and jasmine to vanilla: a sweet, fruity floral for women that has been discontinued.

What does Sexy Rio de Janeiro smell like?

The top notes of lime blossom, mandarin orange and mango give it a fresh, fruity start. At the heart, rose, gardenia, jasmine absolute and violet build a floral body. In the base, Tahitian vanilla, sandalwood and musk sweeten and soften the whole.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings rest on a limited sample. It reads feminine, and its fresh, sweet character suits light everyday wear. Salvador Dali Crazy Kiss and Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
