Tequila Sunrise
Note Profile
About
The cocktail read as a fragrance: orange and tropical fruit over grenadine, with a sweet musk-vanilla finish. The drink's tequila is named but does not lead.
Scent Profile
Citrus leads because both readings open the same way. The shared supplier text lists 'zesty top notes of orange, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, papaya, and tequila' and AFI-USA independently opens on 'bright notes of orange and cherry'. Fruity sits alongside it and carries the heart the shared text names, 'grenadine, delicate florals, and juicy peach', plus AFI-USA's cherry. Tropical is the pineapple, mango and papaya, and the same source calls the whole thing 'the essence of a tropical paradise'. Sweet_vanillic is the grenadine syrup and the named vanilla base. Boozy is the tequila, held down rather than led because no source gives it a smell of its own and neither mentions agave, brine or pepper. Clean_musk is the 'base notes of musk and vanilla' that both copies of the shared text name. AFI-USA's 'warm, woody base' belongs to a different product, so dry_woody stays.
ScentWheel
Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.
Origin
Not a material. It is a fantasy accord sold as a fragrance oil, named after the 1970s cocktail of tequila, orange juice and grenadine. Every source found is a supplier product listing aimed at candle and soap makers, not a perfumery ingredient sheet, and no designer or niche perfume carries the name.
Usage in Perfumery
A whole-bottle theme rather than an ingredient. It is bought ready-blended by candle, soap and diffuser makers who want a summer cocktail scent, and its structure is set by the supplier rather than by a perfumer.
