Wave 2 For Her

Warm, salty and sweet - great for a summer vacation! This perfume is super inoffensive and really quite likable. The opening spray for me is aquatic and salty before transforming into a lovely balmy perfume that reminds me of deep orange sunsets and drinking cocktails out of a coconut. Wave 2 is girly without being overly sweet, the lush honeyed-fruit notes counteracting the sharper woodsy base. In fact, this actually reminds me a lot of Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Now Beach, but I actually think I prefer this one. It's more complex, feminine and has a lot more depth and warmth to it. It makes me want to reach for my denim shorts and grab a bikini top, letting my skin get freckled from the sun. I think this would make a great summer addition to any summer time collection, or perhaps just for someone like me who is stuck inside on this miserable winter day dreaming of the beach...

It opens with a very realistic coconut water note and in a couple of hours dries down to a creamy coconut milk fragrance with an amazing hot sand note. A perfect summer beach fragrance and very underrated for sure! This is definitely same genre as Sun di Gioia and Alien Eau Extraordinaire but for a fragrance with this price tag the evolving of this scent on skin is really well done. Highly recommended!

This is one of my favourites. People say it doesn't last, but I find that if I'm a little heavy-handed when applying it stays all day. Definitely fruity and floral, although I can't nail down many specific notes. I don't get the coconut unfortunately, but the sand is there for sure. It smells liquidy but not watery if that makes sense. I wear it year-round because it smells like summer!

This smells very nice and summerish. Actually, the first thing my male friend said was: "oh yummy, this smells like the beach! ". So the name is not totally wrong. Downsize is that the sillage and performance is very poor! Like others have said, I can also keep spraying, and still, it turns into a skinscent shortly after. Such a shame. SUMMER EDIT: it's still very subtle and a skin scent to me, but I've just found out that the smell of vanillaish candy/caramell I get every time I'm in the car, must be this perfume I sprayed on in the morning. So now I get a base.... I do not find this cloying at all. Way too weak for that.

Coconut? I smell some beachy florals, salt and most of all, HONEY! Very pretty, although a little thin, longevity is not the worst (I can smell it for at least 5-6 hours) but it doesn't smell like a proper perfume no matter how much I spray on, too watered down. I like how I can layer it with matching body spray and use a ton, sometimes that's what I want, but with this one I could spill the entire bottle on myself and it would probably still not be enough. I wish there was something like this but stronger and fuller smelling, I just adore the 'salted honey' note, it's very warm and sensual.
