What does Poseidon in the Caribbean smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good; most voters find the staying power high, while opinions on sillage are more divided. The number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone.

As a whole it seems to open with the brightness of Jamaican lime, bergamot and pineapple, while coconut and vanilla add a creamy sweetness. Rose, hibiscus and ylang-ylang form a floral backdrop, and the aquatic and green touches keep it light. Armaf Le Parfait pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Jacques Fath Curaçao Bay have a close profile.
