What does Eau d'Ipanema smell like?

It opens with mango, pineapple and red fruits, lifted by bergamot and pink pepper. Jasmine, freesia and neroli form the heart, with the orange blossom notes sharpening the floral side. Vanilla, musk and creamy notes sweeten and soften the base.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small. Most voters pick leisure, daytime and business settings, while evening and night-out wear trail behind. Câline Mon Paradis and Juliette Has A Gun Lust for Sun have a close profile.
