Exotic Ginger Coconut Rum Vibrance: Olfactive Studio Still Life in Rio Eau de Parfum
Discover the sunny, carefree spirit of Brazilian beaches in Olfactive Studio Still Life in Rio Eau de Parfum, launched in 2016 (unisex, citrus spicy gourmand, vibrant and summery appeal)—inspired by a lively still-life photograph evoking Rio's energy, masterfully composed by perfumer Nathalie Gracia-Cetto to fuse zesty ginger kick with creamy coconut water and boozy rum depth. Celebrated as a bright, addictive tropical fragrance, it highlights spicy ginger freshness, lush coconut creaminess, and warm rum sweetness, often described as luminous, exotic, and irresistibly refreshing—a citrus-spicy marvel that contrasts effervescent zest with smooth, indulgent warmth and subtle pepper heat.
This invigorating composition bursts open with a sparkling, effervescent rush of yuzu, ginger, mint, lemon, and mandarin orange for zesty, aromatic lift that's bright and alive, then unfolds into a heart of coconut milk (or water), Jamaican hot peppers, black pepper, and pink pepper for creamy, fiery layers that feel lush and electrifying, finally settling into a base of rum, copaiba balm, and other resinous woods for boozy, balsamic warmth with subtle earthy intrigue. It’s zestily citrus yet creamy, spicy yet smooth, fresh yet indulgent—like ginger-spiced citrus fizz over coconut water laced with pepper heat, anchored in rum-copaiba resin that lingers as a confident, sun-kissed aura of tropical joy.
It explodes with ginger-yuzu-mint—zesty, spicy, and strikingly radiant with invigorating spark. The heart reveals coconut milk and hot peppers, crafting a creamy, fiery core that’s lush, balanced, and captivating. It dries down to a luxurious, lingering rum-copaiba embrace—boozy, warm, and subtly resinous—creating an enduring, intriguing trail that’s unisex, vacation-like, and endlessly uplifting.
