Pure Grace Summer

If the notes are as listed on Sephora, it is no wonder I like this fragrance as much as I do. I'm a huge fan of sandalwood as a base (or in general), and the addition of cocoa is what I think makes this a little softer than some other "summer" fragrances. I can't wear Pure Grace as nicely as some people can, so I didn't expect much from the summer version, but I'm totally going to keep an eye out for a bottle on sale. I like coconut and suntan lotions smells, but they can often overwhelm me, give me headaches, or in general get old for me pretty quickly. I've been spritzing this wherever I can get it for weeks now though. It's soft, warm, and on the subtle end of sexy. I picture lazying around on the beach with a floating chiffon coverup dress on and my hair whipping around my face, and then going back to the condo and falling asleep with the scent of suntan lotion lingering on my skin. I see nights at mellow outdoor bars with fairy lights and Bob Marley playing and piña coladas on the menu. I see kissing a stranger under a palm tree in the moonlight, heat simmering off my sun baked skin. I've never found a nicer "coconut" fragrance. Usually they're too vanilla or like or whatever, but Pure Grace Summer whispers nostalgia, comfort, and yes, SUMMER. I'm hoping this sticks around long enough to get ahold of a set.

I got a bottle from Sephora and love it! It is a lot like coppertone suntan oil and brings to mind tanning at he beach as a teen. This is a soft creamy coconut perfect for summer use. It does need reapplying throughout the day though and I have a mini rollerball I put this in to carry in my purse. Once I got it I went ahead and got the layering set from qvc which was a much better value and now have a backup bottle.

I'm mad because I found this at Ross for a steal, bought it blind, used it, didn't think I liked it, and sold it. But every once in a while I think about how whisper-soft the scent is and how nice it'd be for the spring and summer. Needless to say, I'm trying to find another bottle.

So fresh! Coconut water, lotion and just a touch of vanilla is what I smell. I would wear this, of course, in the summer. I love this scent! I might even wear it for my wedding! So happy I ordered this.

This is, like, whisper soft. I've never really smelled anything like it. The cacao reads like a very light cocoa butter. This is a very light, citrus skinscent.
