Sunbeds & Daydreams

This is my new favorite fragrance. There are so many factors that play into this. I think it’s important to note that this fragrance is truly eternal. I have still smelled it significantly on shirts even after washing them, I have noticed it latching on to my hair even after washing and drying it. It truly lasts at least 16-18 hours on the skin. Now for the scent itself, it’s nostalgic, clean, fresh, alluring, and timeless. It has such a fresh and clean aroma but a slight sweetness at the same time. When I smell it, it makes me think of an effortlessly beautiful woman walking on the beach, it’s overcast and windy, but still very warm. She’s wearing a white linen button up and her curly hair is flowing with the breeze. The water is teal blue and warm. That’s how the scent feels to me. Clean and refreshing but warm and comforting, but also sophisticated and chic. I think that this one is very underrated. To some, the ambroxan note may take over and leave an “alcoholic hand sanitizer” note, but for my nose, it blends effortlessly and brings me great joy. Try this one on your skin if you get the chance.

Have you ever seen that video of Rihanna dipping her mango into the ocean in Barbados? This perfume is like you did that but with a fresh pear. Salty, marine and sweet. Utterly addictive and clings to clothes and skin for an entire day easily. Very salty so you'd have to enjoy these types of scents, a love!

Eating pears with honey while sitting by the ocean with a citrus tree nearby. This is sooo good! The honey and fruit in this reminds me a lot of Trussardi Limitless Shopping. Just take away the tonka and heliotrope and add in marine notes. Also smells very similar to Scandal A Paris!

I like this. I see what they were going for. Very aquatic and summery but not in a sunscreen way. More of a clean way. BUT I also am reminded very strongly of some kind of cheap hand soap, like Dial or Softsoap. I’ll use the sample, but I don’t think I’ll be paying for the full bottle.

This is terrible. Smells like perfume the kind you can taste when you smell it. Strong white floral grandma’s pocketbook perfume. Scrubber. Awful.

Such a pity. Beautiful summer fruity and solar notes overpowered by the stench of ambroxan.
