Fruity-floral with coconut milk, citrus, amber, and soft musk undertones.
When In Rio Fragrance Oil opens with a burst of juicy apple, pear, and sunshine lemon, brightened by a twist of orange zest. The heart reveals creamy coconut milk and delicate jasmine, blending tropical sweetness with soft, sunlit florals. As it settles, warm amber, smooth sandalwood, vanilla, and soft musk create a radiant, beach-drenched base. A fruity-floral fragrance that feels playful, tropical, and irresistibly carefree — perfect for summer candles, holiday-inspired wax melts, and bright diffuser blends that capture the lively spirit of Rio.
