The fragrance
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.

INSPIRATION
Carioca Heart is a tribute to the rhythmic and minimalist melodies of Bossa Nova, an intimate and powerful ode that vibrates in the grace of a new style where the beauty of desire and the romanticism of nostalgia are combined.
Unforgettable memories
The sun hits Copacabana beach and the energy of carioca nightlife meets the dawn. In the warm atmospheres of the Beco das garrafas clubs, a new rhythm is born. It is the summer of 1958 when the Odeon label records 'Chega de saudade' on 78 rpm vinyl, in which 'saudade' becomes a messenger of love and is the beginning of the Bossa Nova. The vibrancy of the samba joins the elegant rhythm of North American jazz to become the iconography of a lifestyle in which joy and energy merge with nostalgia and romanticism. "Garota de Ipanema'' proclaims Bossa Nova to be a musical genre and the identity of a people.
Behind the name
The colours, the harmonies, the gestures of an iconic dance. The joy, the smile of a people. The music of the soul.
Tone
The colour chosen for Carioca Heart is coral, a shade exuding energy and fantasy. It is the perfect synthesis of the joy of life and the ephemeral beauty of nostalgia.
From music notes to olfactory notes
Primofiore lemon oil, obtained by cold extraction of the fruit's peel, expresses a sparkling citrusy frenzy, whilst its olfactory joy combines in perfect symbiosis with the Mango accord created by the talented master perfumer Julien Rasquinet.The intense, romantic heart of peony adds a foreboding accent that softens the heart of rum absolute and accentuates the mystery of the woody notes of sandalwood.The vanilla extract CO2 LMR envelopes with its gourmand notes and combines with the Jazz synthesis of the soft musky note of ambroxan and the amber accents of operanide in a sensual olfactory dance.
“The charm of Copacabana, the narrow streets, happiness seasoned with a pinch of nostalgia… a beautiful dream already”.
