Swimming Pool

The first few seconds are a blinding, shocking blast of white mint. Honestly, it feels like someone just sprayed you in the face with icy toothpaste, but in the most refreshing way possible. It’s a total shock to the system, exactly like jumping into a freezing cold swimming pool on a scorching hot day where you get instant goosebumps. But that intense opening is completely worth it. Just like your body adjusts to the water temperature, the fragrance settles down. While the eucalyptus stays with you practically all day, it beautifully mixes with your skin chemistry and the other herbs. It stops feeling 'artificial' and becomes something much more human, clean, and kind of sexy. I didn't think I'd like it at first, but during the recent London heatwave, it was the only thing I wanted to wear. Like most Bibbi fragrances, you can't judge it by the first five seconds. Give it time, wear it for a few hours, and let it evolve. It’s a masterpiece for hot weather.

I... smelled it without having the first idea about the notes. All the descriptors I could conjure had no earthly, sensible (fragrant) equivalents. No part of my brain lit up saying 'basil, mint, eucalyptus...' I simply found it to be ethereal, see through, luminous - a laser beam, or cold vapours hitting you in the face. Slightly sweet, unripe apricot sparkles, the texture of citrus without its odour. It's one of the very few things in the shop that stopped me in my tracks and made me think 'Now THAT'S something I haven't smelled before.' Very gracefully blended, nothing about it said 'natural' to me. Pure synthetic bliss

I don't understand the bad reviews, it's absolutely beautiful. Love it on me. Really different, fresh, green, sweet and spicy. A beautiful basil fragrance. Love the mint coming through underneath. Long lasting, I've had it on all day and it's still going strong, especially love the middle and dry down. Perfect for summer time. Reminds me a little of Basilico and Fellini, although the scent profile is different, they are a similar vibe, both beautiful basil fragrances, fresh, green, spicy and aromatic. Delicious. Also love Ghost of Tom. Look forward to layering them.

What a revelation! I love this and I normally go for heavy amber-vanillas. But it's so nice to change up the scent profile a bit and go for something fresh and lively, even though it's the middle of winter here in Australia. Mint is fantastic in perfumes! I think I will wear summer freshies in winter and heavy ambers in summer from now on. This is simply marvellous.

Bibbi Swimming Pool is pure summer in a scent 💦☀️ Fresh, cool, and uplifting like diving into clear water on a hot day. Light, happy, and instantly refreshing.
