What does Miami South Beach smell like?
It opens with davana, rum, carrot and clary sage, with cedarwood and lily at the heart. The base is dominated by vanilla, honey, raspberry and coconut sweetness, while amber, oud and tobacco add an oriental, resinous and slightly animalic depth. The overall impression is fruity sweetness over spicy wood.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is chosen for evenings, nights out and leisure, with few votes for office or daily wear. Voters read it as more masculine than feminine. Gianni Campagna Vento Canale and Widian Gold I have a close profile.
