Olatua

Notes de bas de paje never let me down. This is like drinking coconut water under a soft, but very light blanket. It’s fresh, airy, the coconut note to me comes across refreshing, and not tropical at all, with a dash of those floral notes that make a fragrance conjure up the feeling of a sunny day.

I was so excited about Olatua when I smelled it this weekend on paper and from the bottle before deciding to get a Notes de Bas de Paje discovery set; it's a soft, bright springtime aquatic with a fresh brush of florals and melon and a slight pepperiness to keep things interesting. On my skin, though, the strongest and most definitive note is without a doubt the coconut––something I hardly picked up on initially. Coconut notes (like whipped cream) almost always lead to headaches/nausea for me, and this one isn't an exception. I want to emphasize though that if you're a fan of coconut, I do feel this is a really interesting and lovely fragrance! Fresh and airy while also seeming very grounded
