TROPIQUES

Sun-warmed skin, salt in the air, a glass of something cold sweating in your hand, this is the scent equivalent of that first hour off the plane. Our interpretation of Fragrance Du Bois' Tropiques opens like fruit split open in the heat, bright and unhurried.

Tropical fruits spill out first alongside juicy mandarin orange and a twist of bergamot, sunlit and effervescent. The heart softens into lavender and a rosy accord threaded with mahonial, giving the fruit a plush, almost velvety underside. As it settles, musk, warm amber, and a thread of caramel pool low on the skin, golden, gourmand, lingering like the last light of day.

For the traveler who packs one bottle for both the beach and the bar that night, worn from spring through summer, day into night, when the mood calls for something lush but never heavy. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX, at 30% oils for an 8-10 hour trail.
