Rio Radiance

Rio Radiance is a floral for women, composed by Vincent Kuczinski for Sol de Janeiro in 2023. Coconut milk and a sand note open it warm and dry rather than watery, and tuberose and ylang-ylang give the heart a heavy tropical sweetness that stops it being merely a beach scent. Vanilla and amber finish it. Short list, one clear idea, carried out plainly. It does not last long, though it projects moderately while it does, and it is a summer daytime scent.
