Eau de Toilette

Banderas The Secret Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, citrusy character with a sweet, spicy and slightly leathery undertone. Grapefruit and mint bring coolness, while cinnamon and pepper add warmth alongside them. Apple liqueur gives a fruity sweetness, and tonka bean, musk, woods and leather settle it onto a powdery, woody, soft base. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet daily and office wear also fit. It reads masculine and modern.

S Eau Florale

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Shakira S Eau Florale is a fresh, sweet floral for women, opening on bergamot and blackcurrant and settling into a heart of jasmine and heliotrope. The top pairs bergamot with blackcurrant for a bright, citrusy start. In the heart, red fruits, heliotrope and jasmine lead, the fruity sweetness softening the florals. The base closes on vanilla and musk, adding a gourmand warmth. The fresh, floral and sweet accords sit close together, and none dominates. Its profile is close to La Perla Eclix and Jennifer Lopez Wild Glow.
