Missy

Very pretty, Fruity, tropical, sweet, bright, beachy, summer-y, nostalgic, transportative, happy, playful, fresh, juicy, citrusy, floral, creamy, warm This is such a pretty tropical, fruity, beachy scent! It reminds me a lot of B&BW At the Beach (which I love!), but it’s got more fruity and tropical notes than At the Beach does. On me, it’s like a mixture of At the Beach and a sweet and creamy pina colada. Kind of what I would consider to be a beachy gourmand. The opening is more tropical fruity and beachy, but as it dries down the tropical fruits become more subtle. At this point it starts smelling less pina colada like, and has much more of a resemblance to At the Beach. The sweet and creamy coconut takes center stage supported by frangipani and the golden warmth of amber. It even has a subtle Sun tan lotion like scent. For me, this is a fragrance I prefer for late spring and summer. It feels very feminine to me, and could easily be worn at any age. I do love the scent, but I doubt that I’ll buy a bottle of it. It’s just too similar to B&BW At the Beach, and I actually prefer At the Beach since it doesn’t have the tropical fruits (it’s also a lot more affordable). As far as some of the fragrances in the “Reminds Me” section goes, here’s my thoughts: 🌴B&BW At the Beach - Almost identical once this has dried down. It just has a slight tropical fruit scent to it that At the Beach doesn’t have, especially in the opening. 🥥🍍Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar - They do share similar notes like the coconut, pineapple, and white flowers. However, Miami Nectar has more pineapple throughout, and a much more earthy and masculine leaning dry down. 🐚Replica Beach Walk - They’re both beachy with a coconut note, but Beach Walk has more of a Sun tan lotion like scent as well as a more realistic beachy/ocean scent. It also doesn’t have the tropical fruits, and it’s not as warm or creamy. ☀️Tom Ford Soleil Blanc - They’re both beachy, warm, creamy, and have coconut notes, but that’s about it. Again, Missy has tropical fruits where as Soleil Blanc does not. Soleil Blanc also has a more luxurious and sensual feel to it. I get pretty good performance with Missy. The longevity is decent, it lasts 6-7 hours on me before becoming just a skin scent. The projection is nice, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. For reference, I’m a huge fan of beachy/coconut fragrances, and some of my favorites include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Bobbi Brown Beach, SDJ Coco Cabana 39, VS Coconut Passion, B&BW Coco Paradise, B&BW Oahu Coconut Sunset, B&BW At the Beach

Laying by the pool in a greasy puddle of Panama Jack Spf 4 with a boom box and my best friend doing a Cosmo quiz. It is the pre-Summer buzz I need right now in a world where everyone is wearing Sol De Janerio. I might play around layering this with Vacation by Vacation before I start complaining about how I hate sweating and wish it was October Note: Rollerball version, it is giving me more wear time than I typically get from other "clean" fragrances, which I generally avoid when possible, so that is a plus in my book. Edit: And it lasts longer than the Fruit Stripe gum @vibrant.girl mentions -which I want now, but was discontinued January 2024 and it does have that fruity sweetness

Missy smells like a pina colada made with sweet coconut cream on a hot, balmy day, with the green mandarin adding a crisp and fresh edge to a more lactonic and tuberose scent, which can feel a little cloudy for a summertime scent. However it does becomes quite white flower heavy/sunscreeny after a while, I think it could be best layered with an orange/pineapple/passionfruit perfume oil to retain a more refreshing balance.

She starts off with an in your face tropical to the max, almost little girl like scent. Give her 2 minutes because she grows into a gorgeous woody tropical scent.

smells exactly like at the beach by b&bw. i absolutely love that scent & this lasts muchhh longer. officially a fav of mine of summer

Missy is a Business person on vacation and to the point kind of fragrance. Missy is not fruity, juicy, or "fun". Its a clean sunny and non-sweet coconut sun lotion fragrance. One can wear it alone to an office as its non-offensive. Missy is the OO of a Vacation Resort. Missy walks the resort in a crisp white suit and ensures proper protocol is being enforced and doesn't eat Carbs, "literary". I think this is good for layering to add just a flavor of coconut/sun lotion and nothing else. If you like creamer, flavors, sugar or syrup in your beachy fragrances (Alien Goddess), this isn't it. Missy is Plain Ol' coconut/sun lotion. But that's not a bad thing. Its just a preference. In fact, i like how crispy clean and neat Missy is and appreciate this so much more than weird powdery after taste per say that Ouai St. Barts, Arquiste Vacation, Akro Rise, Snif Coco Shimmy, Ellis Brooklyn's Miami, and even Killian's Sun Goddess all share. I have them all as I love beach, sea, marine, aquatic, salty, sand fragrances and those abovementioned ones all share that scratchy dry powdery coconut and/or some sticky oily sun lotion :cough:cough: Hope this helps ツ

I feel as if (almost) everyone who talked about this in videos lied or maybe only gave their initial 5 second impression. The opening as promised is a beautiful coconut/pineapple. Within two minutes on my skin it turned into aquatic/ozonic white floral (no more sweet fruitiness at all just warm watery tropical flower). A cloudy day at the pool. Very clean sunscreen vibes. For that reason I like it. I keep my collection small and do not have a similar scent so I am hanging onto it. However. If you are actually looking for a coconut pineapple perfume perhaps consider Miami Nectar by Ellis Brooklyn. The fruity sweetness on that one (for me) lasts a couple hours and dries down into a more sensual, salty, slighty sweet woody scent. Edit: The opening lasts a bit longer on clothes. At the end of the day. It reminds me of a random niche perfume you might find while on vacation at an upscale beach boutique. I like it more each time I wear it. The outfit I picture this with is big sunglasses, long statement artisinal necklace, comfy shapeless maxi dress.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Opening is a very basic but pleasant fruity floral--but artfully, it is not cloying as many fruity florals tend to be for me. I don't get much pineapple in the opening--I get something more like apple, but the pineapple does come through subtly after 15 or so minutes. "Subtly" is critical because it doesn't settle into a cliché piña colada scent; instead, it develops into a creamy coconut that isn't nauseating, nor does it smell like baby powder as coconut is wont to do. Someone mentioned that it's a clean sunscreen-like scent, and I agree. It's actually sort of hard to find summer scents that aren't nauseating, so this gets a 3.75/5: I would not be opposed to wearing this.

Bright and youthful coconut-pineapple. Evokes imagery of plumeria flowers, Alba Rosa, store-bought fruit platters while shittalking with friends, going to the beach to look cute and get pictures as opposed to spending all day swimming—definitely delivers on the vibes the brand says it’s meant to give. Without a doubt it’s a fragrance geared towards the younger audience. Very manba gyaru to me, which though that’s not quite my substyle of choice, makes me want to pick up a travel size for any gal coords I’ll do come summertime... ^_^ I don’t think there’s anything I can get from this that I wouldn’t get from a body mist, but I still quite like it.

This is an unexpected like. I don't love this scent profile and I thought this was so beachy and summery. I hate coconut everything (food, scents, drinks, etc) but found myself wishing there was a little more of that in this perfume. It's not sophisticated, it's not a head-turner but it's cute and fun and flirty. I like it. Wouldn't buy it personally since it's not my favorite scent profile but if you like beachy/summery/tropical scents go for it. I feel like there are better price points for this type of scent though (Bath and Body Works, Body Shop, Sol de Janeiro etc).

I'm a huge fan of b/RJ. I appreciate how Rosie approaches the creation of fragrance, how she describes them and captures a vibe, and how they smell. I snatched a sample of this; even though I knew it wasn't going to be my jive (I'm a Lake girl). I simply wanted to experience the newness. And Missy is lovely for what it is; a toasty coconut, fruity pineapple and subtly sweet mandarin embrace with soft florals. Juicy, bright, happy, carefree, refreshing. If that's your thing, you will enjoy this.

It’s fine for what it is, but it’s a skin scent. I was hoping for something more juicy, sweeter, and with stronger pina colada vibes. This does have a strong pineapple note on the top, but i find it disappears in about 3 minutes and transforms into a toasty skin scent. Not as sunscreen scent as say TF Soleil Blanc, but def not a creamy/sweet/juicy scent either. Overall, glad I opted for the travel spray instead of blind buying the whole bottle.

This smells like early mornings in Hawaii, sitting outside among the native flora still heavy with dew, with a bowl of tropical fruit for my breakfast. It’s a lovely and nostalgic vacation fragrance, but I probably wouldn’t wear it every day. The scent was gone and needed reapplication within 3-4 hours. Added Note: when I tried spraying more heavily in hopes of improving longevity and sillage, the scent became much more synthetic smelling.

I had a sample of this from their discovery set. It's very yum, like sipping a virgin Pinacolada and white florals float on the breeze. It's very summery. Sadly it only lasts an hour or two. Sprayed on about 8am and totally gone by midday. I do think it lasted longer on clothes though, so maybe that's the trick? I don't think I'd be buying a full bottle just based on performance. Scent is lovely though 😍

It smells exactly like st barts from Ouai, though I think st barts is slightly cleaner! Very heavy on the pineapple and coconut. I did notice it gets more sunscreeny on the dry down though. It’s a beautiful creamy summer scent! If you love it, I have an amazing combo: layer this with st barts body spray, and use the Trader Joe’s island oasis oil in your hair (supposed to be a st Barts dupe!) 8.5/10

Perfection! Missy is sweet but not too much. The pineapple note really shines with its perfect amount juiciness, touch of tartness and the perfect pinch of sweetness...the coconut is great as well w/o being overly smothering. What really makes this great for me is the fact it doesn’t smell like sunscreen. Buy it, it’s perfect for a beach day and a summer date night.

I loved layering this perfume with Miami Nectar and St. Barts body spray. This perfume is too clean girl for me to want to wear on its own and I love a tropical fruity summer perfume so I never wore it by itself. I finished the travel size of this perfume and will not be upgrading to a full bottle but I do think it’s nice having it in travel size for layering.

This smells almost identical to OUAI st barts. It definitely lasts longer though. I get around 5-7 hours of wear. Its also reminiscent of VS bombshell st tropez. I have all 3 but you definitely don't need all 3. It's a perfect summer scent but also wearable in cold weather too. The coconut and pineapple notes are the most dominant.

The first few times I wore this as a sample there was a warm relaxing enveloping coconut note. With the full bottle this has been primarily pineapple forward and haven't had that same experience again. Enjoy this on the summer sleep fragrance rotation. It is still perceptible in the morning on clothing.

I like this one way more than I thought I would! I ordered a 10ml pack from them and thought this would be the one I liked the least, but it was actually my favorite of the bunch! It's definitely not a scent profile I usually gravitate towards, but I am excited to try layering this in the summer!
