Wave of Freedom

I was lucky enough to experience the launch of Wave of Freedom with Andrea and Chiara yesterday, in great depth from smelling the raw ingredients to the finished scent which gave such a great depth to the entire scent as a whole. The opening is one of the most photorealistic, crisp yet juicy pears I have ever smelled in perfumery with a really clean, creamy coconut that isnt sweet in the typical sugared coconut way but has that really naturalistic raw coconut edge to it, yes it is smooth but has a glorious texture to it also. The pineapple adds further juiciness and clarity but again without being overly sweet. The base is not just 'amber' it's Amberever, created by Firmenich. It has such a sheer clarity and depth to it without being dense, deep and rich, making it such a wonderful base for this scent. Additionally the longevity is beyond explanation. For me, I think Fragrantica is a little off with the accords on this one because it is much fresher, clearer, verging on airy tropical than the 'cinnamon, warm spicy' that they have tied it to. This is very much a glorious endless summer scent rather than the more autumnal wintery vibe that would be suggested from what is listed here.

On my first spray it gave an airy, fresh juicy pear with a hint of tropical coconut. As it dried down the sweet pineapple became more dominant before transitioning in to an almost vanillic base of creamy tonka bean & amber. I can easily see how some people might not enjoy this fragrance, especially if you dislike the smell of Pina Coladas. For the record, its not a full on Pina Colada perfume, but it comes right up to that line. I am a big Jusbox fan, and already have a number of their fragrances, so when I first heard about the release I was very excited. As soon as the samples were available for purchase I ordered. They were delivered on the same day the Full bottle became available from Jusbox. I immediately sprayed it on skin, and within 30 minutes I was in love & ordered my bottle. It is already dominating my fragrance rotation, and has become a staple with Cheeky Smile, Carioca Heart & Feel N Chill. I think its a banger!

This does NOT smell at all like Erba Pura LMAO..... this is a very pretty scent perfect for the summer. It is actually a cross between Versace Eros and Carolina Herrera Good Girl. Definitely mass-appealing. I will be getting a full bottle.

Super pretty! It's like an updated version of La Vie Est Belle with coconut. I bought a full bottle right away.

Most realistic pear fragrance ever. And a gorgeous woody dry down. No notes, 10/10
