Dreaming of Rio

Bath & Body Works Dreaming of Rio is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Dreaming of Rio settles into a heart of Banana, Gardenia, and Cedar. Bath & Body Works's Dreaming of Rio carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is a surprisingly fresh take on banana. Forget sugary sweet childhood candies; Dreaming of Rio delivers a leafy green banana with a hint of gardenia, making it a summery crowd-pleaser that's anything but artificial.

About

Dreaming of Rio opens with a blast of green banana, crisp and slightly underripe, rather than the syrupy sweetness you might expect. This leafy fruitiness is swiftly joined by a creamy, solar gardenia, lending a touch of white floral elegance. A subtle woody cedar undertone grounds the composition, preventing it from floating away entirely into a tropical fruit basket. It's lush, vibrant, and perfectly captures a sun-drenched, exotic vibe without being overly heavy or cloying.
