Madie

Beachy, beautiful, bright, sandy, sunny, marine, sunscreen-y, happy, nostalgic, and floral. Oh wow I really love this one! It’s the feeling of being at the beach bottled! I’m a huge fan of beachy/coconut fragrances and this one definitely hits the mark! I pick up on all of the notes... the sea water, jasmine, and coconut are the most prominent to me. The vanilla is subtle, but becomes a little more prominent during the dry down. This one definitely gives major sun tan lotion vibes, which I absolutely love! Madie reminds me very strongly of Bobbi Brown Beach, another love of mine! It’s so very similar that if you have one of them then you probably don’t need both. I’m also reminded somewhat of Replica Beach Walk, but I don’t think that they’re nearly as similar as Beach. However, I do get a lovely sun tan lotion vibe with Beach Walk as well, although it’s not as strong as the ones I’m getting from Madie and Beach. If you’re into Sun tan lotion like scents then you’ll love all 3 of these. However, if that’s not your thing then these are likely not for you. I also saw JHAG Lust For Sun in the “reminds me” section, but to me at least it’s not that similar. I find Lust For Sun to be a more monoi oil like scent as opposed to sun tan lotion. I do think it’s another really lovely option for a beachy/summertime/vacation fragrance. I’m such a huge fan of beachy/coconut fragrances, so for reference here’s some of my favorites besides Beach Walk, Beach, and Madie: Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, and Kate Spade Live Colorfully. If you’re a fan of beachy fragrances as well then I highly recommend trying Madie as well as the others that I’ve listed here. I get great performance with Madie. The longevity is wonderful, it lasts throughout the whole day on me. The projection is really nice too, it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me.

Wow! Adore this beachy scent! Yes, it is absolutely like sunscreen but personally I love that sunscreen scent. Soleil Blanc and beach walk ALMOST hit the 100% sunscreen smell, but this one takes the cake! It's brilliant, I adore it and as the perfumer is Australian (as am I) I truly think it is an Australian summer in a bottle. That smell of sunscreen, heat, sand and salt - this is a perfect fragrance for those who love sunscreen/beach fragrances. If you want something less sunscreen, of course you can opt for Soleil Blanc and beach walk but in my opinion this is a 10/10 fragrance. I can understand some people don't like how uncanny it smells to sunscreen, but I love it. It's perfectly summery!

Pure sunscreen. As an Australian, this is an Aussie summer in a bottle. It's a summer full of the ocean, salty skin and hair and a constant lingering odour of sunscreen. I tried to find a sunscreen perfume for so long, Soleil Blanc wasn't it and neither was anything I found in search of my sunscreen perfume I so desperately needed. Until I found this. This was what I was looking for all along / 100% pure sunscreen and not much else! If you don't like sunscreen you won't like this! If Soleil Blanc is too sunscreeny for you, then this will NOT be for you.

I heard they are discontinuing this scent and that makes me so sad! This is really unique. I mostly just get an ocean smell. Just marine breezes and ocean and it’s fresh and salty. I mix it with sweet vanilla and caramel perfumes to add a salty note in the mix and its delicious. Find this easy to wear. Obviously good for summer but somehow works with moody, cloudy days as well. Hope they decide to bring it back. Hard to find a salty ocean perfume that is not either extremely masculine, or choked out by flowers and fruits.

The sunscreen scent to end all sunscreen scents. This is a fragrance that my partner and I have repurchased THREE times because him and I both love to drown ourselves in it. It smells like going to a lake beach as a kid and your mom slathering Coppertone on you before you run into the water, in the best possible way. Decent wear for being a lighter aquatic scent, but I never mind reapplying. I do find this one super polarizing though. Like everyone I have introduced to it either loves it or hates it.
