Del Mar

This opens with mostly a heavy dose of sweet jasmine that feels balanced out by some hints of citrus. Despite a lot of citrus notes I only get a little of it, I get more of the jasmine mixed with a beachy, musky, oceanic air smell and sunscreen like coconut. Sunscreeny scents tend to smell chemically or sharp to me but this feels more relaxed and carefree, very reminiscent of California beaches. It’s creamy, airy, slightly floral, slightly sweet. The dry down picks up some warmth with a powdery sand accord and soft musks. There’s remnants of that creamy jasmine and coconut combo and the effortless beachy accords. A well done take on the sunscreen scent profile that feels more homegrown than your typical tropical vacation fantasy.

A tropical freshie that manages to be light and fresh while still having some decent longevity. I swear there is some kind of witchcraft done with this one. This is another scent from the brand that evokes memories. For me it is of lazy days spent as a child by the sea on the coast in Venezuela. I have my suntan lotion on reading a book and relaxing in a hammock under some palm trees. The warm salt ocean breeze caresses my skin and there is a soft flower scent from nearby bushes. The sun is hot, but I am drinking cold coconut water straight out of the coconut while the adults are drinking mojitos (with lots of fresh lime and allowing me a few sips). A beautiful scent worth having in your collection.

Del Mar is my first love with Day Three. So much so I’ve already got a 10ml dent in the bottle. To me this is the ultimate relaxation scent. If I’ve had a long stressful day, or been out in the sun, this is what I put on to relax and unwind. Lazy Saturday or Sunday, this is what I put on. It’s soft, warm, relaxing; it wraps you in the cocoon of comfort and instantly transports you to a warm sunny beach.

This to me is what I want Virgin Island Water to smell like. I love that dna but after a while the coconut starts getting slightly annoying to me. But this removes that note with clean white florals and it’s perfect. Definitely getting a full bottle soon

This is a stunning fragrance. Jasmine, sea notes, coconut, musk .. This is so good I would recommend it to anyone! My favorite fragrance I’ve purchased this year.
