Although flankers are normally associated with mass market designer releases, this very dubious niche house has decided to shamelessly release a flanker of Still Life.
Where Still Life is a designer sport clone, Still Life in Rio slightly improves on this olfactory concept but fails to push the envelope. Reviving the yuzu, rum and peppery aspects from Still Life, Still Life in Rio is creamier with a more prominent citrus leaning (plus a touch of mint in the opening). As for the peppery arsenal that it boasts, its influence is perplexingly minuscule.
Harbouring a creamy, balsamic and suede-like drydown, it largely remains quiet on the skin with below average persistence.
