Coral

I love Coral! As others have said, it is a light, bright floral with a pop of spice and greenness. It works well on my skin. I think of it as a warm weather scent -- not because it is sultry but because it is very refreshing. I don't usually like much citrus in my fragrances but the clementine in Coral is just right, adding freshness without making it smell fruity. Coral really does capture the spirit of Bermuda: the elegance of the older, English areas, the sunniness and brightness of the climate, the sea and the pink coral sand beaches, the freshness of the sea air that surrounds the island.

Such a BEAUTIFUL floral, citrus, freshie. There's something very realistic and green about this scent. There are very similar scents to this one out there but I enjoy this one more. It's just done better than the others IMO.

With notes of Clementine, ginger, and Freesia; followed by tuberose, nectar of roses, orange blossom and hydrangea; finishing with softwoods, pepper, and musk, Coral reveals a luminous floral, which brings the beautiful scent of Freesia and the richness of roses in their most limpid aspect, very common in white roses (although I don't know what species was used). I couldn't notice the tuberose, but the hydrangea is present because its essential oil carries a smooth and pretty floral scent. Finally, the musk could not be left out, since its peculiar smell of cleaning combines a lot with this type of fragrance. Coral is not innovative, because there are similar fragrances on the market. But it's full of life, like a flower garden on a sunny day. The natural quality is quite noticeable, in addition to the fact that exudes absurdly, for about two hours and still remains with excellent durability.

It’s fun to look at the notes listed, to find the musk and not to find the “green notes”, ‘cause it appears to me as a true grassy-green scent. A watery-grassy-green one.) As long as Thais de Puig is not available anymore in the stores, the green scent lovers may be absolutely sure that they can always get a real green scent. When other perfumes only use the green notes, Coral presents itself as a pure green scent completely without any addition.

This one popped into my head randomly this morning as a memory. On my honeymoon in 2006 we visited Bermuda and were able to visit the charming Lili Bermuda Perfumery, where I purchased a bottle of Coral. I’m hoping to visit again soon where I can sample some more recent offerings from the line. But I’ll definitely repurchase Coral. It’s an easy reach for summer and a beautiful reminder of my honeymoon.
