What do reviewers say about Rio de Janeiro and Lamar?
Bold tropical sweetness is a choice. This one leans in rather than pulling back. The opening announces itself in the first thirty minutes, then slowly, deliberately, becomes something warmer.Rio de Janeiro
Pineapple and rose together isn't subtle. It's a deliberate clash, and if that works for you, Lamar rewards with projection that announces arrival before the door opens.Lamar
