Still Life In Rio

Still Life In Rio by Olfactive Studio is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with yuzu, ginger, mint, lemon and mandarin, moves into pink pepper, black pepper and coconut and dries down to rum, copaiba balsam and leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.

Heart

Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.

Dry-down

Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
Copaiba Balsam A soft, woody Amazonian resin. Smooth, slightly peppery and long-lasting.
Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
