Don't Ask Me Permission

Starts very tropical and a little boozy. Before looking at the breakdown I smelled coconut, sandalwood, salty/sandy notes, something fruity, maybe pineapple. Something citrusy, maybe lime. Turns out there is no coconut in there, but it feels like it to me. Like coconut water. This is very reminiscent of Virgin Island Water. They aren't the same, but if you like one I would be pretty surprised if you didn't like the other. And since another fragrance from this house is essentially a dupe of VIW (Party in the Bay), you will probably like that one too. The main difference I can tell is a noticeably peppery dry down on this one. Likely pink pepper. It's really good. I would prefer it if it were less salty, had a little bit more fresh citrus, and didn't have the peppery dry down. But still, I love it.

Exotic fragrance of egocentric beauty and disarming sensuality, it evokes the tropical atmospheres of the warm, colourful, transgressive and unscrupulous carnival nights of Rio de Janeiro which this fragrance is unusually inspired by. Inebriating, fresh fragrance, a magical elixir of passion fruit and ylang-ylang that blend with a magnetic oriental accord of amber, sandalwood and Cachaca. Fragrance with persuasive and sunny rhythms, kaleidoscopic, which leaves the juicy and solemn sweetness of passion fruit on the skin. Undoubtedly a fruity fragrance immersed in warm and sensual amber notes and reassuring musky notes. I recommend it exclusively to lovers of tropical fragrances.

ABSOLUTELY INSANE. It is mindblowing how incredible this perfume is.. experiencing this perfume for the first time feels like you just discovered what a perfume is. A wonderful sweet scent that is absolutely addicting. As a person that tends to overspray her scents and not settle for less than 6 sprays, two sprays of this and im good to go and can smell it on myself the whole day. It is sweet, but in my opinions it hits the sweet spot of sweet fragrances (and I dislike gourmand). If you’re a fan of mixing perfumes I’d recommend not mixing this one; it stands very well on its own. Projection, sillage, longevity : 10/10 Quality, value : 8/10 (pricy but worth it) Overall: 9.8/10

I'm a collector, meaning I have more fragrances than any one person can wear and I'm trying to narrow my collection to 20 that I would wear over and over. This would be part of my Top 20. I see comparisons to Instant Crush, I think that's inaccurate BUT it is just as unisex as Instant Crush. I can understand the comparison slightly, but when I spray it, I get no reminiscence of baccarat at all the way I do with Instant Crush. But it's certainly unique. Reading just the notes, you would believe its as sweet as it is, but if you're a gourmand lover, you will love this. But the Lime makes it so unique. It's sexy, and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it.

Great scent for those who love Kirke and Erba Pura. Very fruity and loud and with good longevity on skin and clothes. Sillage is remarkable on this one. Careful with spraying too much.
