Tommy Bahama
St. Barts
“Rum punch at a swim-up bar — unashamedly resort wear.”
A cult favorite budget 'beach day' fragrance that punches above its $20-40 price bracket — Tommy Bahama's tropical vacation flagship. Lime-tequila-agave top gives way to a salty-guava-palm heart and a warm vanilla-musk drydown.
