2677

this is honestly delightful and unexpectedly great. i got this as a free sample that was given to me when i ordered some other perfumes to try out and honestly wasn’t that excited about it because i usually go for the more wintery/vanilla/warm spicy kind of scents, but i thought i might as well try it since i had it. and what a pleasant surprise it was! If you’re like me and summertime perfumes just don’t really appeal to you because they almost make you feel like you’d be putting on someone else’s perfume, then this is for you. i say that because, it’s fresh and light and won’t give you a headache in the heat like my go to BR540/alien/lost cherry might. but it still has depth to it which makes it perfect for someone like me. there’s a woodiness to it from the pine and patchouli(although the patch is subtle, like i wouldn’t have been able to be like ‘ah ha! that’s patchouli!’) that is complimented so well by the more uplifting floral and citrus top. when you first spray this it smells to me almost like a really expensive sicilian lemonade with gin in or something and then when it dries down, on my skin, it’s a beautiful woody, floral, clean smell that has a subtle addictiveness to it, like you can’t help but lift you wrist every 5 mins to get a deep sniff of this bad boy. I also think the top notes transition well into the dry down adding a subtle zestiness that elevates this making it maintain that summertime feel. i do think it’s worth noting that this isn’t your classic summer holiday perfume, it’s not tropical or beachy in that way. It gives me more walking through rome on a hot day vibes or a trip the the amalfi coast (v running away to greece, doing a donna on three different guys, and then deciding to stay and raise your child there and have abba write a musical about your life ya know?) all in all really beautiful to me and would make a great summertime signature for someone slightly more mature like 20s upwards, as well as quite unisex - although for me i think it is slightly more femme - i do think anyone could pull this off tho. sillage for me is pretty impressive for a summer perfume i feel like usually those more light fresh scents don’t project and when i first sprayed this, after it had been on my skin for a few mins, my mum walked past my room from the ~hallway~ and commented on my fragrance, so i think that’s pretty impressive! once it heats up a bit more here in the uk i will definitely be purchasing a full size and probably wearing it all summer long!

Frankly speaking, I hadn’t planned on trying this, and the only reason I added a sample to my order was because it was only 1€. Very glad did! 2677 is a unisex fragrance as it should be, not leaning to any side. I get pine and bergamot and some depth from the jasmine, it’s not overly citrusy on me. There is also a hint of salt, just enough to let your mind travel to the sea... I’d recommend this to everybody who has outgrown L'Occitane’s Mer & Mistral.

Very pretty smell but I’m not sure I recognise any notes on the pyramid at all! It is clean and marine (I guess that’s the salt...?) but also has a powdery dry down that’s very gentle (makes me think of clean babies for some reason!) I like it

Notes from the official site: Top: peach, anise and bergamot Heart: rose, jasmine and pine Base: musk, salt and pine

Like seawater mixed with cheap air freshener. This was part of a bunch of testers and it's now pretty clear that salty fragrances are not for me. Makes me nauseous. It can probably smell really refreshing (almost like a summer day on the beach) to someone with different olfactory senses, unfortunately that someone is not me.
