Here’s something you might not know about me. One of my favourite football players is Brazilian star Kaká. He used to play for AC Milan until last year, when he was bought over by Real Madrid. If Christiano Ronaldo is football’s bad boy, Kaká is everyone’s golden boy. Sigh … you should just watch him in action on the field … okay, it helped that he models for Armani too. You’d have also seen him in Sony TV ads here.

I brought this up because when I think of Brazil, I think of Kaka (grin). But now, there’s Estee Lauder’s Brasil Dream.

The scent is the third instalment of the brand’s travel-exclusive range that started with Emerald Dream and Bali Dream. While the range is supposed to just be available at duty-free outlets in airports, just for this Valentine’s, you’ll be able to get a slice of beautiful Brazil at Estee Lauder counters.

Maybe delicious is more the word – the perfume’s notes include guava, pineapple, lemon, orange blossom, coconut milk mixed with jasmine and gardenia, then topped with bergamot and patchouli.

I think it sounds like the kind of perfume you’d wear on one hot sunset partying on the beach!

And while you’re at it, why not go for a double treat with EL’s Purchase with Purchase offer?
