St Kitts for Men

Yeah... This is a masterpiece. Blowing a lot of my designer collection out of the PARK!!!! This was not a love at first spray. At first it just smelled like Invictus... But wait Five minutes later it settled down into a beautiful, beautiful melody. It IS extremely intimate and reminds me of a love I had for someone when I was 16 years old (30 years old now). It's not a scent exclusive to young people though. The only way this song in a bottle can be described, is in imagery such as, a sea salt watermelon-fall. The sea salt in this reminds me of beautiful passionate and wide chords. Uplifting, yet seductive and carefree. It smells naked. Enticing, and addictive. I'm in love again. I will always, always wear this for the rest of my life. As far as the other reviews here, complaining about the performance, keep in mind this is an Eau De Cologne. These fragrances are created to be worn in HIGH HEAT!! If it was higher in concentration and projected it would take away the beauty of it's subtlety. It's perfect. Wear in high heat and it will project accordingly. As a skin scent it actually lasts forever. I've gotten looooads of compliments wearing this, it truly makes me happy. I'm blown away by it. I want everyone reading this to keep in mind, cheap fragrance does not mean bad!!! In all cases. This should be way more expensive than the retail price IMHO. This is art in a bottle, a watercolored message in a bottle. Just blind buy it. The mermaids are swimming in my skin lol The bottle is an experience in itself, Everytime I reach for it, that little time is sacred because the bottle actually makes you feel like you are partaking in a sacred ritual... The gateway to euphoria. Again, best summer fragrance or at least top 5

After using this perfume for many years, I have realized that it's a very unique and exotic fragrance. There are very few freshies out there which can nail this level of exotic tropical character and mass appeal. This is a blue fragrance with a tropical twist. It smells exactly like the bottle color. It's a freshie so obviously longevity is not much expected but it surprisingly lingers for 6-8 hours. I can definitely detect salty and driftwoodsy kind of subtle presence around 6 hours. Bottle is really attractive on eyes though it might not feel the same in hands but anyway. Honestly, even though it's already a unique masterpiece, if this exact juice was bottled by Xerjoff or something at that level of league, the amount of respect it gets would have been completely North. This is exactly the path I was expecting Versace Man Eau Fraiche Extreme version to follow but anyway. I wouldn't have changed much apart from providing it a bit of designer roundness with some more mass appealing molecular solvency. It would have been a massive success I guess. Well, if you like mixing, apply it on top of Juliette Has A Gun not a perfume or Molecule 02 and try not to thank me. Let them buy St. Barts. (It’s a solid summer mist for sure!). St. Kitts is a gate keep worthy.

St Kitts is starting to hit the online discount sites so I picked it up. I found it for about $20. Upon application there's a strong blast of the star fruit. It's a unique fruity note. Judging by the pyramid I thought this might smell a little like Versace Man eau Fraiche but it doesn't. The fruity top stays strong for about 15 minutes and then settles in. At drydown it walks the tightrope between being an aquatic and a musky woody scent. As with other Tommy Bahama scents, St Kitts performs for me surprisingly well for an EDC and lasts about 6 hours. Like the other TB offerings it comes in that strange shape that is awkward for me to handle. The bottle is a little different on this one as it has a matte finish to it that feels strange. It's not a matte paint, it's a thin plastic coating that was already peeling off on the corners of my bottle when I first took it out of the box. Update: After a few more wearings I'm really enjoying St Kitts a lot. It's a fruity scent for sure but not sweet or juvenile. It doesn't have the beachy suntan lotion vibe that Martinique and Barts have. And this does have surprising performance for an EDC. The wife complimented it from an arm's length away and this was about 10 hours after applying.

One of The better aquatics, and one of the more beach/tropical as opposed to sporty/breezy/summery aquatics like Nautica Voyage. This one was made for the beach, it smells like tropical fruits but not overly sweet or sticky, like a drink on the rocks. It has some class and dignity to it, it’s not screaming woo goo in partying on the beach on vacation. It’s more like resting in a hammock enjoying a book or a cigar. It is more along the lines of eau d’Issey. It doesn’t smell anything like Eau d’Issey, but it has that Green tropical vine or flower smell instead of just being fresh and generic. Great fragrance overall. I think it’s better for milder summer days and I honestly see it as more of an evening smell since it’s a little richer and playful then most other aquatics which tend to be “airy” or some other abstract concept of water and freshness. This spray has some teeth to it, kind of sexy and demands closeness since it is mild and doesn’t project very far which is the only downside

This is Versace Man Eau Fraiche on a budget, but only in terms of cost. The quality is right up there with it. The longevity on the skin isn't as good as on clothes, though. I don't even care about its longevity though. It's $20-$25, and the scent is simply amazing. I will spray this until I am soaked in it if I need to. If this is what the starfruit note can do to a tropical fragrance, then it should honestly be a staple for all of them. It's the note that will most completely make you feel like you're laying on a beach full of white sand with waves crashing on the shore and a nice breeze in the air, even more than coconut/lime, which prior to this, was my personal gold standard. In an effort to try as many fragrances as possible, it has always been my goal to not wear/own the same fragrance twice afterI have gone through a single bottle. This one though, will likely be one I have to buy again...and again...and again...just for that ooh aah feeling. 10/10
