‘A sensorial tribute to the summer that changed everything. Inspired by the moment Bernardo’s parents first met while on vacation in 1970s Mexico, Acapulco 76 captures the allure of a golden era of sun-drenched beaches and jet-set glamour. This fragrance recreates the feeling of love at first sight: the sudden sharpening of the senses, warm flushed skin, a quickened pulse, and a tightness in the jaw that arrives before words ever do. The opening feels electric and immediate, Neroli blossom extract and the bite of a green mango awaken the senses with a tart, mouthwatering tension. Then the bloom. Luminous yellow florals of ylang ylang and champaca blossom into something radiant and intoxicating. At its heart, Acapulco 76 becomes richer and more addictive. A nostalgic solar cream accord infused with apricot milk, evokes the feeling of salt-kissed skin, and the yearning that comes with summer desire. Windows down, sun ahead, the dry down recalls the blissful feeling of driving into the sunset in a vintage car, where supple white leather seats and glowing solar musks come together in effortless harmony.’ – House of Bo
