What does My Own Private Teahupo'o smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, with fall close behind, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. It has been discontinued.
It opens with sea salt and ozone, which give it a cool, watery feel. In the heart, salicylate and frangipani add a soft floral note. The base of Tahitian vanilla and Amber Xtreme™ sweetens the whole and settles into a powdery, lightly gourmand dry-down.
