Virginal

If Secretions Magnifiques smelled good.

i’m just getting into perfume and have been playing around a lot with different samples. i’m not as well versed but i didn’t think i’d be into aquatic/marine smells at all based on personal preference. the only other aquatic scent i have tried is artik sea by lorenzo pazzaglia which in my opinion is super traditional like divine masculine aspiration but too self conscious. virginal feels like a leap in another direction aquatically in comparison to what i’ve smelled before. i would say it fills for me a type of divine masculinity that i didn’t know i was looking for. it reminds me of the rush of skinny dipping at night, stepping on something sharp while barefoot, and flat seltzer left in the sun. anyway i wrote this as procrastination/maybe as a warm up for my actual homework grad school is hard lol. but all in all i liked it and i’m excited to see what comes next!

This is definitely a summer perfume. I disliked this when I first tested it earlier this year. I'm re-testing this today as its the first 90+ degree day of the year, and WOW what a difference! It's juicy, fruity, sweet but savory, tangy, definitely a little sweaty but in a fun way. Its only been an hour since I sprayed, so I cant wait to smell how it changes throughout the day.

it smells like throwing a sun-bleached neon pink plastic frisbee at the beach! but the image of a stretched, well-lubricated latex balloon is also being conjured. edit: i neglected to mention just how heady this concoction is. like, the vcr cleaner kind of heady.

Very underrated. I love this scent but understand why some might not. It’s fresh, soft and sweet with a salty, sweaty base. It truly smells like summer.
