“Salt air, coconut, and zero responsibilities — pure vacation mode.”
A 2019 EDT release by Quentin Bisch and Sonia Constant in JPG's Le Beau line — coconut and tonka over a bergamot opening, a clean tropical-vanilla profile distinct from the Le Male family. Wears strongest in summer, daytime-focused.
