Skinwear

I've never been sure of what to make of this fragrance and I've been aware of it since it's release, I think it's simply because it's so slight. If you spray this on a card you can barely smell it and similar to it's name, on skin it becomes a very subtle skin scent. The opening is a bright smelling lemon & lime citrus and oriental woods, which lends itself to an almost Japanese incense type of feel, modern and synthetic. The main component for me is the juniper which gives this a refreshing G'n'T effect on a bed of cedar & musk. The overall feel is very airy and translucent and I kinda think Ted Baker represents 'fresh' in skinwear better than most. I actually have tried this on many occasions over the years, originally liking it, then forgetting about it, then trying it again recently and thinking it was awful. However, upon revisiting again I've flip-flopped yet again and don't think it's too bad, especially considering current releases and fragrance trends this seems like a 90's throw back. Oh yeah longevity is poor but you could do worse than reaching for this on a very hot day.

I've had more thoughts on this fragrance and I think I might add it to my wardrobe. Something about it's cheery, lightweight nature that completely epitomizies the 1990's and I'm quite nostalgic about that decade. I also finally get the Mark Birley comparisons and I'd even go more specific and say Skinwear smells a great deal like elemi resin. Do you know why I've had this revelation? Because I over sprayed like a man possessed and I think it's essential to do so in order for me to get this fragrance on any level. Now I do.

The cool thing about this fragrance is that theres no clone of it! Even though its a cheapie i've never smelt anything like it, i get tonnes of compliments when i wear it. Its nice in the summer but great in the winter too. The mix of rosemary, mint, cypress, lemon and sandlewood all at once creates a great mix. Its a fresh woody with a hint of soap. Totally worth buying in my opinion.

This is a gorgeous fragrance, I love it, real mix of Lime and wood, it is no nice, stays around for a good while, doesn't project hugely, but it does enough. I avoided this because I thought this was going to be quite generic, far from it, lots of love for this one.

This always remunds me of ice cold lemon fanta its also a good pick me up fragrance if your feeling tired or under the weather this used to be my hangover fragrance lol a cool shower and a couple of sprays of this and your good to go
