What does Surfing Puerto Escondido smell like?

It opens with cardamom and mandarin orange, while artemisia and saffron add a slightly green edge. Orange blossom and ylang-ylang bring floral warmth to the heart. Benzoin, tonka bean and musky notes sweeten the base and finish it creamy.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, mainly for leisure and daily wear. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits between the two. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino and Annayake Natsumi have a close profile.
