Description & review snapshot

Nanette Lepore Beautiful Times opens with a sharp burst of sweet red fruits and bright orange. The fragrance quickly settles into a soft floral blend of powdery violet and rose, resting on a heavy base of caramelized spun sugar and warm vanilla.

Reviews →

Mango Hurricane opens with a bright rush of mango and citrus, then settles into a softer floral heart with creamy musk, light woods, and a touch of vanilla. It reads fruity, sunny, and easy to wear rather than dense or syrupy, so it may suit shoppers who want a tropical scent with a cleaner, more polished finish.
