Arashi No Umi

Chance eau Tendre EdT is my favorite scent, but as I am a student I haven't been able to justify the price for a long time. When I saw the notes for this I had a hunch and blind bought it. Upon first spray it is shockingly close to CeT, though I'd say a bit less zingy and sweeter. Makes sense without grapefruit. I can definitely sense a pleasant, soft green apple (not at all the punchy DKNY kind, but not too sweet either). Sometimes I dislike Tendre's citrus for its screechiness, so this is not an unwelcome change. The dry down is also woodier, and lasts longer on my skin than CeT. I'm not super good at identifying florals so I'll leave it here. In a way I find the first spray less interesting than Chance eau Tendre, but overall it is really nice. It is definitely less well blended, and it lacks some of Tendre's delicateness maybe? The drydown is a bit sharper - perhaps this is the synthetic musk other reviewers are mentioning. It's not as comforting to me but I do catch whiffs occasionally that smell exactly like CeT. What I like about them both is this combination of mature notes and more light and sweet, youthful ones - it perfectly fits how I want life to feel. I also appreciate the added longevity of this one, albeit surprising.

I got the discovery set from Maison and oh my god- I've been in love with every scent so far. I'm someone that usually goes for woodsy and musky scents, so I am surprised by how taken I am with this one! I agree that it is a pretty safe scent, like some others have commented, but that doesn't make it any less lovely. It seems most of the scents from this line I've tried seem to share a powdery DNA, like they're all cousins. My con for these perfumes is their staying power. They're gone in a flash. It's lovely and warm where I am right now, so perhaps they might last a tad longer in colder weather, however, that still wouldn't be very long lasting.

i love this scent, its so fruity and floral and fresh like a fresh out the shower smell. something i can wear every day. i finally finished the 15 ml bottle of arashi no umi i got about a year ago so i decided to get the full size. i dont know if the smell of my old bottle just diminished over time or they changed the formula but the difference between the two is crazy. my new bottle smells so much stronger and lasts much longer than the 15 ml. i can barely smell anything from my old bottle when i spray them on each arm to compare. i hope my new one doesn’t start becoming weak and hoping they just changed the formula or something.

Arashi No Umi is simple, but such a joy. There’s something about the combination of notes that gives cold frozen peach. It reminds me of Kakigori, which is a Japanese shaved ice dessert (also depicted being eaten by the little creature on the bottle). My favourite Kakigori flavour when I was a child was always the neon pink peach one, and this fragrance captures exactly that. Vaguely candied, floral, translucent, airy, icy. Not at all a ground-breaking scent profile or super unique, but for me it’s olfactory time travel at a great price point, and such an easy summer reach.

Second i smelled this all Icould think was how refreshing and fruity it smelled. Although yes it doesnt really last long , i still feel the bottle and presentation slightly make up for it. For around 80 dollars this is a great starting niche fragrance. Although it says mostly female, a younger dude could 100% pull this off for a summer daily. The atomizer is also pressurized.
