Vazquez & Rincon Tropical Breeze is a new fragrance for men from Boca Raton-based Julius Air:

The top-note oils responsible for the fresh, initial scent of Vazquez & Rincon Tropical Breeze has a unique blend of bright, citrus notes of bergamot, limes, lemon, grapefruit and petigrain followed by a surprising accent of pineapple, juicy melon, cranberry and cassis.

The brisk clarity of rosemary, sage and lavender forge a counterpoint to the clove, bay and thyme notes of masculine florals. Jasmin and geranium are reinforced with fir balsam, cypress and spearmint and a touch of cucumber for freshness.

The fragrance evolves into a warm, sensuous background of sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, amber, oakmoss and a classic musk complex.

Vazquez & Rincon Tropical Breeze is available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette ($43); a 50 ml size will launch in January 2008. US residents can request a free sample at tropicalbreezefragrance.
