Gay Juice

It’s like you’re having the absolute time of your life in a sticky Tiki bar that hasn’t changed since 1974. You did shameful things but have zero regrets or apologies. You made out with some French guy who told you that you were the best thing that happened on his vacation. You karaoke’d Carly Simon’s ‘Why’ and felt so free, you even impressed yourself. There’s a frivolity to it that also feels absolutely grounded. In warm weather, it fits perfectly. In cold weather, it’s a snug reminder that summer will return. My partner, who knows nothing of fragrance but has inherent exquisite taste, smelled this and made it his year-round go-to. It’s well-balanced, keeps its notes in order throughout the wear and doesn’t go stale. A cloyless mixture of sweet and musk; easily feminine, easily masculine. In short: a fragrant reminder that a life without fun is meaningless.

If you were ever going to take a chance and buy a perfume based solely on blind fate, THIS SHOULD BE THE ONE! I don’t care if you’re gay, straight, a man, a woman, whatever! This fragrance is for everyone, and it will smell amazing on everyone. I’ve never smelled a fragrance quite like this. The tropical notes of pineapple and coconut (which are done exceptionally by the way) would make this an easy summer choice anyways, but oh my goodness! It’s so complex! It’s almost aromatic with the petitgrain and vetiver elevating it far beyond your typical sunscreeny summer fare. Although it leans tropical, this is a stellar, signature-scent worthy fragrance, and the fact that I had never heard of it until my girlfriend ordered a sample because she thought the name was funny is a CRIME. Please please please try this, you will not be disappointed.

Okay as someone who *actually* purchased this perfume, I LOVE it. It smells like sunshine and is so pretty. Practically, I get pineapple (with an acidic bite) and ginger (for warmth) with some coconut creaminess and a sweet vanilla musk base. The vetiver adds a nice earthiness that I really enjoy, and that brings it into a hot-summer-night scent. This is a LOVELY perfume, and if you're familiar with Dolce Garden, it's like that but with more tanginess and 'edge'. Also, queer joy is so lovely - despite whatever hate and negativity people want to spread.♥️

I couldn't resist and immediately ordered a sample, which came very quickly. The packaging was adorable! This is a very fruity scent, pineapple-forward, and the mandarin sings out as well; it serves these delightful tangy aromas without being screechy or screaming synthetic. I guess the coconut and musk serve to anchor these down to earth? I think this would be OK in winter TBH. I would love it if there was an intermediate size to purchase. I look forward to seeing other reactions and wonder what's up the perfumer's sleeve for the future.

I purchased a sample. I would buy a full size if I had any money right now. I agree completely with the review below. To me it's the perfect pineapple fragrance. The coconut isn't overbearing. Not too sweet or heavy. Just the right amount of weight and complexity to keep it from being like an Escada summer fragrance or something like that. It's really good. Highly recommend.
