The nights vibrate with a warm, intimate rhythm in the legendary clubs of Beco das Garrafas where a new musical revolution takes shape and animates every alley in Copacabana. It is the birth of the Bossa Nova. Not just new harmonies but an attitude, a way of being, in which melancholy is beauty and life.
An iconic melody that begins with sparkling, sunny notes of primofiore lemon oil that combine with the tropical accents of pineapple and mango accord. The olfactive sound of peony in the heart reveals its romantic soul in an unexpected and intense combination with sandalwood and rum absolute. A deep, enveloping song of vanilla rises in the background with an elegant jazz of labdanum, operanide and ambroxan. An eclectic composition by master perfumer Julien Rasquinet that pays tribute to the joy of life and the freedom to be oneself.
