‘The essence of the sun. The rhythm of the Samba. A magic that lasts. A trip to Rio – where the sun itself dances the samba and the air pulsates with joie de vivre. The streets light up to the rhythm of Carnival, colors swirl through the alleys, and music hangs like a promise in the warm tropical night. It’s that one moment: the first sip of matcha in the morning, the tingle of yuzu and grapefruit on the skin, the play of light, laughter and lightness. The opening is cool and vibrant: matcha, yuzu, and grapefruit . The fresh citrus note is subtly rounded off by cardamom – a clean, modern, and invigorating opening.The fragrance unfolds its aromatic complexity in the heart. Fig leaves lend green softness, while tobacco leaves add subtle depth. Juniper berries bring a cool, clear note—a calm contrast to the vibrant opening. The base anchors the composition: cedarwood stands for dry elegance, amber provides warmth, and musk and leather together ensure a sensual, long-lasting presence on the skin.’ – Birkholz
