Miami Notes Breakdown
Miami opens with Lime, Mojito, Coconut and Tequila — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Guava, Watermelon and Tropical Fruits. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Sugarcane, Woody Notes and Musk.
Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Citrus, Tropical, Sweet, Boozy, Fruity — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
