The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Brasil Dream opens with Guava, Pineapple, Neroli and Cardamom — the first impression as it hits the skin. As the opening settles, the composition pivots to its heart of Gardenia, Frangipani and Jasmine. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Coconut Milk, Sandalwood and Orris Root.

That result traces back to the composition: Sandalwood is a material that hold their shape as the temperature climbs, rather than thinning out.
