Siesta Drive
by Navitus Parfums
Siesta Drive is a radiant, creamy citrus fragrance with a surprising gourmand core that feels both fresh and indulgent. It opens with a vibrant burst of Calabrian bergamot, Italian mandarin, and lime, accented by spicy pink pepper and ginger, creating a bright yet textured top note. The heart reveals a soft, lactonic creaminess—reminiscent of mascarpone or vanilla-infused lemonade—that mellows the sharp citrus into something smooth and seductive. Warm, resinous undertones from olibanum and vetiver, combined with lemongrass, provide depth and longevity, while the vanilla acts as a seamless anchor. It evolves into a lightly sweet, softly projected scent that lingers for hours, with an impression of cool, well-blended citrus and cream, evoking a relaxed summer drive beneath the sunset.
