Meet an Innovator Behind the Innovation:

Leading the journey behind Tranquil Cyprus Coves is Michelle Hagen, a Global Senior Perfumer at P&G who is inspired by the natural world – from morning mist and woodland flowers to exotic spices and farm-fresh berries. Prior to joining P&G four years ago, Michelle was a flavorist who helped develop authentic-tasting beverages to meet people’s needs, experience she’s been able to reapply to fragrance design. “People tell us they want authentic, true-to-fruit citrus expressions they describe as bright, juicy and effervescent,” she said. “We listened and used this to create a citrus fragrance that’s easy to love.”

By blending fragrance artistry, deep consumer understanding, scientific principals and advanced AI tools, Michelle created a premium scent that matches the superior cleaning power Febreze products are known for. The fragrance features top notes of blood orange, grapefruit and sweet mandarin and, as it blossoms, juicy nectarine, sun-ripened strawberry and peach nectar harmonize to create the feeling of a coastal paradise. The result is a vivid, mood-enhancing scent with the power to transport you to a relaxing destination. It’s like stepping off a boat somewhere for a trip that’s not overly planned, or going on a vacation without leaving your home, or as Michelle says, it’s like spraying sunshine.
