By the editors · 2 min readCarioca Crush opens with pear and lychee — both reading as soft, ripe, and slightly watery rather than tart. The lychee in particular gives a faint floral edge alongside its fruitiness.
Praline sits at the heart, adding a caramelised, slightly nutty sweetness that anchors the lighter fruits above it. The transition from fruity to sweet is smooth rather than dramatic — there is no sharp shift, just a gradual warming. Musk in the base keeps the finish light and clean, preventing the praline from becoming heavy or cloying.
Overall this is a fruity-gourmand composition that stays playful and approachable. Its sweetness is present but well-controlled, making it comfortable for warm-weather casual wear.
