Eau des Lagons

This is a beautiful summer scent evocative of a secret lagoon paradise. As someone who enjoys unisex and green, and does not much like sweet or floral this is a win. It opens with a watery pink floral breaze that blows into a fresh green seculent crunch. I was wondering what a cactus note was, and found it. Fresh green aloe vera, cactus flower and salt bush. From the pyramid this looks like it could be a taquila shot, its not. This is a fresh, cool cucumber and very unisex. Dont really get much citrus wood or amber, but I do pick up a light white musk during the drydown mixed with the exotic green marine. The water floral is gone after 1 hour. Overall last for 6 hours with a confortable projection. This sort of reminds me of Commodity Rain, but less floral and more unisex. Of the 3 Comptoir Sud Pacific fragranses I have tried this is my favourite ⛤⛤⛤⛤

EDL is an interesting fragrance, I can't quite pin it down. The open is a blast of salty lime, which I don't quite like. However, this quickly settles into a floral-woodsy-grassy (from the cactus, I suspect) accord, which sustains into the drydown. While there's no aquatic notes, it does have an aquatic lightness to it, I could definitely see myself wearing this on the beach. A very pleasant fragrance, but nothing to write home about. My advice would be to ignore the open and wait for the drydown, that's where this fragrance shines. Performance isn't great, I get around 3 hours and this is a skin scent on me.

The opening smells very familiar, but not in relation to fragrance? I can't put my finger on it, but it reminds me of another item. I use to make a "super" green juice with lemon, ginger, cucumber, celery, and carrots. This gives me the earthy vibe of that wonderful (no its terrible) juice. I believe this is the cactus note, combined with a salty lime, and it smells ok. I wear this to the gym from time to time as it has an almost natural vibe, like some kind of deodorant one might get from a new age green (hippy) store. I don't love this one, but I will give a tip of the hat for originality. I believe I bought a full size bottle for under thirty dollars, so I am good with that. Certainly lime and sea notes, but lacking the floral notes for my nose. I find this in some ways similar to Jaguar Ultimate Power, but not as scratchy in projection. The reviews here lean on high praise, I would have to warn that this is not what I would deem a safe blind buy, IMO this is not going to appeal to most people. Not bad, pretty much inoffensive, but not overly captivating either. Thanks again.

As others have said, this really doesn't strike me as a unisex fragrance. Having read the reviews I gave my wrists a conservative spray expecting something light and fresh, how wrong I was- I actually had to wash it straight off even though I hate wasting perfume. I detect some rather heavy woody, warm notes and even... sweat? Pheromones? There's something distinctly masculine about Eau Des Lagons. Smelling my wrists now however, after washing, there's a pleasant (and obviously faint) suggestion of something pretty and floral, like when you go out early in the morning in the summer following rain. I'll try and edit this if I can persuade my husband to give this scent a try because I think on a man it could smell wonderful.

Of late, I've been referring to the U.S. president as "Gilligan". Why not, then, try an apparently Gilligan's Island-inspired fragrance? How about Comptoir Sud Pacifique Eau des Lagons? Turns out that this is a rather Gilligan-esque scent. A little this, a little that, moves one way or the other according to the direction of the wind. Here aquatic, there floral, a little woodishness, a bit of citrus, some overlap with the musky sea water of Aqua Motu. This is just okay. Neither remarkable nor egregious. The drydown has something of a cucumber cast--perhaps it is the pulp of the mythic cactus? Eau des Lagons could easily be Gilligan's signature scent.
