Bombshell Isle

Bombshell Isle opens with a breeze of coastal air; apart from a touch of sea salt, I can't describe the warm, fresh, airy solar accord in detail, but it is very realistic. There is also plenty of melon - at first I'd thought that it was definitely honeydew, but after several wears I decided that it watermelon & that there is a squeeze of clementine and also some kind of berry in the background that I can't quite identify. The coconut is always present, but becomes more fully developed alongside the gentle florals. I get some heliotrope and orange blossom with the peony - I personally can't separate any jasmine, but it is in the majority of Bombshell flankers so I'm guessing that there may be traces here. The gentle sea salt breeze works wonderfully with the soft florals - it gives you the sense of strolling near a coastline with the scent of nearby flowers being carried in the breeze. The lingering sea salt becomes slightly more sharp, but the coconut turns more creamy as it combines with some sandalwood, which prevents the sharpness from becoming too much. I also get something subtle that brings sand to minded, which compliments the coconut & sea salt wonderfully. The longevity is good for a lighter seasonal mass-produced release; it is between the six/seven hour longevity range, and never goes extremely close to the skin. No complaints from me. Bombshell Isle smells very similar to the summer '19 LE Tease Dreamer; I really enjoyed Tease Dreamer scent-wise, but it has poor longevity and goes close to the skin really quickly. I really enjoy bombshell Isle and highly recommend it; it is an improvement on something that I enjoyed years ago, in both scent and formula.

Successful blind buy. Coconut water in a perfume as stated below. This is the most gourmand coconut perfume I’ve come across. Victoria Secret always does coconuts perfectly (Coconut Passion, Bronzed Coconut, Coco & Pineapple, Coco Chill). This fun scent diverts from the million solar sunscreen “coconut” (there’s never any coconut) white florals available. I still love those, but I always wish I can detect a photorealistic coconut. This is that. It is sweet yet the freshness from the peony still remains. I love the sweet floral notes & the marine accords add a twist to it. There’s some saltiness from the “ocean air” note listed on the box; it singes my nose a bit whenever I first spray it - kind of like sniffing the ocean breeze and it tickles your nose a bit. This goes away and you’re left with a drizzled coconut water/ hair conditioner scent. This will be amazing for everyday summer. Now I’m thinking of getting the biggest size because I know they’ll discontinue this one eventually. It is the best Bombshell released yet. edit: Didn’t think this one projects but I wore this to the movies and the guy at the concession stand said “your perfume smells really nice.” I wore this to my trip to PR and I used up my whole bottle. It worked perfectly for that weather.

This perfume is one that I constantly get complimented on by men. It is NOT heavy coconut, in fact, I don't really get much coconut from this at all. Instead, it is a sweet floral with hints of 'salt' (might be the 'sea notes' mixed with the tonka). It is a unique fragrance, perfect for summer that lasts on clothing. However, if you are looking for 'tropical', this is NOT the perfume you'd be looking for. But if you're seeking more of the 'essence' of a luxury cruise or private island, this is for you.

I feel like a mermaid that just got out of the sea with this.. Smells very much like sea air and seaweed. And the sweetness makes it feminine and how does the sea become feminine. By producing mermaids. I am indeed a mermaid and I love the beach and the oceans so this is so mermaidy me. Tha k u Victoria's Secret and yves cassar.

This is my secret weapon. My summer soulmate. My night and day. I have a backup bottle and body spray, it’s THAT serious. If someone told me I could only use this perfume for the rest of my life, I’d be perfectly ok with that. even in the cold. in sickness and in health.
