I got this perfume more than a year ago as a sampler and it transported me back to Mexico. I am not sure why, but it evokes warm memories of hot sunny days in Mexico, a slight sunburn and one too many tequilas. It opens as an expensive sunscreen which quickly gives way to a sweet floral scent, albeit a bit synthetic. I don’t mind. It’s not close to the skin but it also doesn’t have a powerful sillage. It hovers slightly over the skin and you get better sillage when it’s warm and dry out. It dries down as a slightly acidic but warm scent on my skin: like a not fully ripened mango. I paired it with Cheirosa ‘62 and it transforms the scent to the more gourmand leaning side in the dry down which I appreciate a lot.
While this perfume doesn’t seem to be a crowd pleaser, I love it and will happily wear it in hot summer months.
