Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche SkinScent 2013

This is the ACCURATE note listing from EL website: Bronze Goddess 2013 Top Notes: Sicilian Bergamot Mandarin Middle Notes: Tiare Milk-Tahitian Gardenia Petals Coconut Oil Orange Flower Buds Jasmine Magnolia Petals Myrrh Base Notes: Amber Sandalwood Vetiver Caramel Coconut Cream This scent is: BEACH, TROPICAL, SUN, SOFT, CREAMY COCONUT, LIGHTLY FLORAL. First spray takes you to lying in the sun on a beach. It does smell a bit like Bain de Soleil - orange gelee (actually a lot a bit like it) but more so at the first. As it develops it sweetens up, the coconut notes come out, and the beautiful floral notes add a lush tropical vibe. Although I did reference a sun lotion - it doesn't really smell like you have sun lotion on (no this is not hawaiian tropic or copper tone AT ALL) - rather that you smell GOOD, warm, tropical, creamy and lightly sweet. I have had it on for 3 hours now and only sprayed twice and only on my left forearm -- its still there. It does sits close to you and is very inoffensive. I love the summer vibe it gives. LOVE it! update at 5 hrs later I can still smell it! no its not as strong but its there. update at 12 hrs later - I had moved my arm to stretch -- and smelled my one forearm - where I sprayed yes only 2 times and i got this gentle waft of bronze goddess. yes ...still there on the skin! I don't understand why people said it doesn't last - today -- it did! so glad I bought this!!

These notes are a mistery to me! Different notes listed here. A lot of notes, different notes, listed on the website. The oil version smells exactly the same to me, however, again - the notes listed for the oil version differ. I don't know what I'm smelling exactly but boy, do I like it! It's so warm. If I could have a deafult scent that my skin would project at all times, it would be this. Delicate amber and musk. In the sun it smells more citrus-like. I don't know if I am smelling coconut or if this is some coconut illusion - however there is something wonderfully tropical about this. This is expensive holiday in a bottle - sexy, goddess-like skin scent that makes you feel so alluring, glowing and inviting. The bottle is stunning, glowing! I am so happy I grabbed one of them. Amazing! EDT: I've had it for 2 weeks and I used quite a lot of it, like 25mls or so - I never thought I would have a perfume I'm addicted to but at the same time I feel like I should be saving it up since it won't be around for long. When I'm not wearing it, I miss it! It's like a love affair that I know will end some day, we won't be in each other's lives anymore, after that it will be just unreasonable to keep it up!

Delicious coconunt, summer sand and sun! This is truly for hot hot weather and sunglasses. Im very sad this is only around in the summer, but then again, that makes the summer with the perfume even more special. Coconut is very strong in this, milky coconut like many others have described. This also has that sunscreen/sun tanning oil smell which I personally really like. Honestly, I used to often apply tanning oil/cream such as Hawaiian Tropic and Banana Boat even when I was not tanning or at the beach/pool, like a tropical smelling moisturizer which would always lead to surprisingly, many compliments. I still do this! But Im glad I have this which is a nicer perfume version of what Ive always loved. Flowers such as Tiare flower are also in this and a hint of amber. My complaint is that it does not last long because its an Eau Fraiche. My boyfriend likes to tell me "Can you wear the coconutty perfume?" Of course!

I didn't like this perfume at all when I first sampled it at the store. But after trying perfume after perfume I decided to give this another try and put it on my skin this time, and then walked around the mall for a while. I could not stop smelling my wrist! I am absolutely in love with Bronze Goddess now, my husband says it smells just like he remembers Hawaii on our honey moon. It literally is like beach in a bottle... Warm, sweet, sandy... I smell tons of yummy milky coconut, and the lady at Macy's said its full of it so I'm not sure why it's not listed in the notes.. It also has a sun tan lotion smell to it, but in a good way. It's still cold here where I live, but one smell and I'm suddenly warm. If you were like me and didn't like this scent on paper, try putting it on your skin! Ps, spray some in some unscented lotion and then layer!

I was looking for a beach perfume which is anything but tooty fruity or aquatic fresh. I have used Escada Ocean Lounge as my go to beach scent, which smells good but then, I thought i should steer clear from fruity tropical scents and opt for something a bit more sexy and sophisticated. EL Bronze Goddess is the one that caught my attention as it smells like a concoction of coconut milk with a few spikes of sea salt and lemons... Far from pina colada but more of like a luxe suntan lotion with sea breeze and coconut bits to be exact. The scent is close to the skin. Very comforting yet warm and tropical sexy. Stayed 3 hours on my skin. Update: between the BG 2011 and this one, they are not the exact same. BG fraiche skinscent 2013 is more intense on the lemons, coconut and saltiness.
