Lost in Paradise

Nice smelling sun tan lotion . But I'm saying that in the best way . I do wish that it has a stronger coconut note. It would have smoothed out and toned down the lotion smell. You get a ton of ylang ylang when first sprayed. You get very feint hints of the coconut water but when the mid notes come in it's just about gone . Light peach then the bit of bamboo come in. Once the base notes come out the only other note you get is the ylang ylang . All of the base notes are noticable with the salt slowly getting stronger and stronger over the first 2 hours . But it all gives a very beach lotion vibe. I love it. Everything is very balanced that the sweetness is kept at bay which I really liked . I don't think it's that sweet . In the accords i would have put that 4th . Performance is not bad at all. I had this on one arm and Prada Luna Rossa edt which I think projects pretty well on the other . For the first 90 minutes this overpowered it. They were then pretty similar untill this really died down at about 4 hours. It won't last that long but the time that it's on its pretty good, so I can live with that . My biggest issue is that I wish it had more of the coconut water. Or even something semisweet added to the mid or base. Maybe a condense milk or a pineapple cream. For the price the bottle isn't the greatest. Atomizer is average. Is it worth the price ? Yes it smells good, yes it's well put together, yes you can smell the quality. But for me it's not. It doesn't have that one wow thing about it to make me want to pay $175 + tax.

There are three fragrances in Chris Collins' Anima collection, two being daytime fragrances. Citrus Grandis and Lost in Paradise are the two daytime fragrances, and the latter is by far the better of the two. Upon my first spray on a tester, I got an overwhelming sunscreen scent, very much like a Coppertone brand, which is most likely due to the coconut top note. However, when I sprayed it on my skin and clothing and let it develop, you get so much more. It evolves and you discover the sea notes, as well as the ylang-ylang and peach notes. There's a captivating quality about it that's hard to describe. When you think you've identified it, it changes into something else. Spray this on and then walk outside and let it mix with open air; you'll see what I mean. It's definitely a fragrance that gets better over time, versus loving it at first spray. I will definitely be getting a full bottle of it for next summer.

This is absolutely incredible stuff! The most gorgeous tropical scent, so lush and dense, yet delicately feminine. There's always something physically jarring to my nose in 95% of fragrances, especially in the dry down, even in those that are supposed to be soft-smelling, but not in this one. I could breathe on it all day long! So if you, like me, aren't friends with patchouli and certain types of sandalwood and cedar, give this one a try.

Lost in Paradise has me mentally packed for Hawaii already. 🌺✨ Warm, escapist, sun-soaked in the best way. I started with a test and immediately understood the hype, this one is absolutely full-bottle worthy. The dry down is starting to come through now, so we’ll see where the journey goes from here. 🌊 The dry down is even giving me hints of Le Labo Neroli 36 vibes, radiant, airy, and sun-warmed on skin.

This is amazing on a woman. I bought this for my wife. It smells like a beautiful beach but not Florida. More like the Bahamas or Hawaii. Very tropical scent, it literally transports you to memories you have being on a beach. No man will EVER say this smells bad. It’s a 20/10 for me. The rest of the line is very underwhelming but this one he knocked out the park.
