Boston Ivy

This in an interesting one, but maybe a little difficult to love. I get lots of moss, salty ocean water, and dusty ivy; a baseball diamond covered in clover. There's an acerbic lemon brightness that hammers hard at the opening and sizzles and then fizzles away. It's beautiful and unlike anything I've ever smelled from perfume, but so close to the scent of real life—this smells more like the actual ocean than any other fragrance I've encountered. I was lucky to get a bottle from DS & Durga before it seems to have disappeared completely. In terms of their current offerings, I see similarities to Italian Citrus in the salty lemon vibe, but ultimately Boston Ivy is miles more interesting. It's not an everyday scent for me—the conditions have to be just right. A sunny, not-too-hot day spent outside. Openness and optimism.

This is the only "marine" fragrance that has ever inspired warm and positive feelings in me! It smells very much like real, natural salt water, a mighty feat! In fact I've never smelled as wonderful of a salt note. I also pick up clover pretty strongly. The watery notes are so dissimilar from "Cool water" etc., and I couldn't be happier. The initial salty, clover-ish notes last for a few hours and then it fades to a pleasant earthiness, which I'm guessing is oakmoss. A completely unique yet easily likable scent!

Really nice, clean frsh fragrance. It is almost similar to Bath & Body Work's Water Blossom Ivy. But, a more masculine version of the scent. I deffinitally pick up on the Sea Water, Ivy & Clover. I don't get too much of a mossy note, but i don't really know what Moss smells like. Lol. Really nice, unique fragrance.

Easily one of my all-time favorite fragrances ever. It has a distinct citrus-y top note which melts slowly but beautifully into baked goods. The citrus does not turn bad on the skin on those whom I have smelled it on. All the while, it is green and moss-y. Sexy.

Please MS me if you have a bottle of this one you don't want, because I do...thanks.
