What does When In Rio smell like?

It opens with pear and wild bergamot, giving a juicy, fruity freshness. In the heart, jasmine and a sensual skin accord lead, keeping the floral side soft and creamy. The base of sandalwood, amber and vanilla settles into a sweet, gourmand warmth.

Voters find both longevity and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small. With its sweet, gourmand character it suits relaxed everyday wear, leaving a light but noticeable trail. Kayali Maui In A Bottle Sweet Banana | 37 and Jessica Simpson Fancy (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
