Estée Lauder Brasil Dream For Him, launched in 2012, is a flanker to the original Brasil Dream line. Designed to capture the energy and vibrancy of Brazil, this fragrance offers a fresh, aromatic experience that leans heavily on citrus and green notes.

The composition is built around a classic aromatic fougère structure but with a distinctly tropical twist. It is marketed as an everyday scent for the modern man who values freshness and sophistication.
