By the editors · 2 min readVery Sexy Now 2017 takes the line's annual summer mood and reimagines it as a Cuban garden. Guava opens it — that recognizable pink-pulpy tropical-fruit profile, slightly floral, slightly funky — leading into mariposa, the white Cuban orchid that gives the composition its 'green freshness.'
The heart's mariposa keeps things bright and slightly green-stemmy where most VS flankers go saccharine. Soroa coconut at the base is treated as a dry, milky note rather than the suntan-oil cliché — softer, paler, less obvious.
A brief flanker built on three intentional notes, designed as island summer rather than beach vacation. It dies on the vine in cold weather, but in heat and humidity it does exactly what it sets out to: light, slightly green, slightly sweet, transparent. Best on cotton, in sun.
