What does Bella Tropicale smell like?

It suits daily wear and leisure time best, and it also works for the office. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin without filling the room.

It opens with pineapple, coral and Italian lemon, a bright fruity-citrus start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, orange blossom and coconut water add a soft, creamy floral note. In the base, roasted tonka bean and sandalwood sweeten it into a powdery warmth, while sea breeze keeps the aquatic freshness running to the end.
