Riviera Maya opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Lime, settles into a heart of Salt, Melon, Pineapple, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Mint.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it tropical scent that splits opinion. Some find it a fresh, high-quality holiday in a bottle, while others are put off by a cloying, synthetic sweetness and overwhelming saltiness. Definitely sample before buying.

About

Riviera Maya opens with a bright burst of orange, mandarin, and lime, quickly followed by a dominant tropical fruit cocktail of melon, pineapple, coconut, and banana. A prominent salty accord runs through it all, balanced by a creamy, sweet amber and sandalwood base. A hint of mint tries to cut through the sweetness, offering a slightly green, cooling counterpoint to the warm, fruity heart.
