OrientalWhat does Acapulco smell like?
It opens with vanilla and clove side by side, sweetness against warm spice. Almond and orange blossom then soften the heart. The base settles into cedarwood, tonka bean, musk and amber, and the sweet, spicy, oriental character carries through to the end.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so read that with caution. It is positioned as a masculine fragrance. Maison Massimo Vanille Platinum and Federico Cantelli Ambra e Tabacco have a close profile.
