What does Still Life in Rio smell like?

The top notes of mandarin orange, mint, ginger, lemon and yuzu give a bright, citrusy start. In the heart, pink pepper, black pepper, coconut water and Jamaican chili bring spice while keeping a fruity sweetness. The base of white leather, rum and Brazilian copaiba balsam settles the scent onto a soft, creamy footing.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most picked settings. Masculine and feminine votes are tied, so it sits between the two. The Dua Brand Zest and Versace Eros Parfum have a close profile.
