Isla Sirena

This is one that truly shines & smells best in the air wafting around you once it’s heated up on your skin Vs smelling it directly from your arm/paper. I was shocked I liked this so much after testing in store. This release didn’t even peak my interest (& I LOVE EB) bc the idea of lime + coconut didn’t feel like my thing. But this is SO much more than just lime n coconut! It opens up like a realistic lime & coconut cocktail w a salted rim. It’s citrusy, tart, bright, lots of lime, but that fades fairly quickly and settles into the most GORGEOUS dry down ever 😍 The sharpness of the lime fades and you start to get a ton of warm brown sugar sweetness and a ton of CREAMINESS from the vanilla and banana. The banana really shines in this, it’s so creamy and tropical in such a comforting, addictive and sensual way 🍌 The coconut water is perfectly done imo, not sunscreen-y at all, just adds to the tropical exotic refreshing vibe. The combo of the brown sugar, vanilla, banana, coconut water and hints of lime is truly intoxicating. My mom HATES perfumes and the minute I sprayed this on she immediately said omgg what is that!? that smells sooo good I rly love that one 😍 n she wouldn’t stop talking about it. That’s so rare lol. I highly recommend getting your nose on this weather or not the notes look interesting to you cause this shocked me & has made it to my top 5 fav fragrances out of my whole collection. I swear Ellis Brooklyn just knows how to do a banger summer scent. Performance is also great this lasts literally all day on me and it lingers soo beautifully the way it plays in the air 🥹 🍋🍬🥥💦🍌🍸🧂🥮🧜

The opening of Isla Sirena is a salty lime margarita with sugar on the rim. The coconut water comes in to add some freshness, and then the dry down is sweet and woody. I do pick up on the banana but it’s a very fleeting note. Projection is moderate. I think Ellis Brooklynn has really improved the longevity of their formula. I still over sprayed and I got eight hours of wear. Towards the end of those eight hours I did forget that I was wearing this, but I would flip my hair and I catch a whiff of the woody sweet base. Isla Sirena was not a love at first sniff, but it did grow into a love. I rated it a 8/10 because a lime and coconut water perfume is not that original but I really love this interpretation of that profile. I love how they took the base in a different direction. The brown sugar is really prominent, and it warms up on my skin beautifully. I think it also helps with longevity. I also really love he teakwood, which is my one of my favorite notes and can make this lean unisex. For layering combo suggestions that feel like summer; try Isla Sirena with BBW Coconut Lime Verbena and Mugar Alien Goddess.

After testing my travel for a few days I’ve come to the conclusion that I really enjoy this scent. I for one have always loved lime and coconut smells ever since BBW introduced me to that profile. But I’ve never found that scent profile in a perfume that I enjoyed until this one. Outside of Creed’s Virgin Island Water, but that’s more masculine than I’d prefer. This is very beachy, breezy and carefree. It really smells like a limeade made with coconut water thats sweetened with cane sugar. I do get a bit of a creaminess, probably from the vanilla and papaya. But something in this, maybe the ginger flower and salt? Keeps the scent effervescent. It’s a light wear that performs well in the heat as I can smell it as I move for 3-4 hours. I’m sensitive to many perfume notes so I tend to go for airy, fresh perfumes. Happy to be able to add this to my day time summer rotation. This fragrance is not ground breaking but if you’ve been wanting a lime and coconut mixed perfume that leans feminine and sweet, in comparison to like Jo Malone’s Beach Blossom, this is the way to go.

@killibin needs a psychiatrist asap. I’m shocked of the low ratings. However, after reading one of the reviews, the people reviewing aren’t right in their head. This is a beautiful sensual, seductive secretive scent. The main star is the lime and coconut but it’s done in such a beautiful way with her other counterparts....which give it that that tropical alluring enticing addition. When you spray it you want more.. you’re curious. The perfect fabric is a beautiful silk lingerie or dress in the cool breeze. The perfect idea would be dancing under the stars with a cool breeze....perfect summer night, under the moon /lit stars. I feel sexy , I feel mysterious when wearing this ....because you don’t know what you’re smelling. It makes you wonder , but in a good way. You notice it brings people closer to you. They wonder what you’re wearing because it smells so good and inviting. This scent produces a burst of dopamine. Try it ! You will love it...if you have good taste and not a psycho !

I’m a citrus girly but I was apprehensive about the top notes of this being lime and salt. I thought it would be way too salty and tart, and I didn’t really want to smell like a margarita. While at first spray the lime and salt IS prominent, this is a wonderful scent. Tropical, clean, citrusy with just a tiny bit of spice. If you’re like me and think Guava Granita is a little too sweet for your tastes, Isla Sirena is that girl. Once it dries down, the ginger and teakwood notes become SO prominent. The lime mellows out and what’s left is a spicy, woody scent with just a hint of lime. I honestly cannot say enough good things about it, definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you want a clean girl, tropical scent for the summer that isn’t 100% sugar and fruit, I would give this a try. This layered with a coconut body oil?? I’m so excited to wear this all summer long.
