Bombshell Santorini

When I first sprayed Bombshell Santorini, I thought, Okay... nice enough. It opened as a soft, safe vanilla — pleasant but nothing groundbreaking. But fragrances deserve second chances, and I’m so glad I gave this one another sniff. On my next wear, it truly came alive. That vanilla base is just the start — as it settles, warm, salty skin notes emerge, blending with a subtle musk that feels like a sun-drenched beach in Hawaii. There’s something addictive about it: cozy yet airy, creamy yet slightly windswept. It doesn’t shout (the sillage is intimate, staying close to the skin), but it lingers beautifully. Longevity is better than expected, making it a perfect all-day summer skin scent. If you want to smell like a salty, summer beach warmed by the sun... This is a winner!

Love at first sniff! I normally don't wear summer fragrances because it doesn't develop well with my chemistry. I have dry skin and I do not have any BO even after sweat. This perfume is so divine. It is so unique. I have never smelled something like this before. It smell exactly like how little mermaid would smell in my opinion. She is salty, airy, woody and that vanilla is a hidden surprise in the wind. The peony here isn't strong by itself. If you expected some strong floral scent like most summer fragrance do, then you will be disappointed. This perfume smells like salty ocean wind that blow through tropical jungle. It is a summer fragrance that does not give off fruit, floral or coconut. It is that special.

This isn’t groundbreaking to me because it smells similar to a lot of the fragrances come out during the summer time, but it may be the best version of coconut/beachy/linen scents that I’ve smelled so far. To me, this smells like a sweeter, cozier, more perfumey version of At The Beach from Bath & Body Works. If you like that DNA then you would love this scent because this one is better. In my opinion though, At The Beach feels like a freshy that can be worn year-round while this one feels distinctly summery/beach/pool day. If I were to describe it, it feels like sitting on the patio couch of a beach-front property during a summer night with friends.

Such a pleasant take on a salty fragrance. Not too savory and just the right amount of sweet. I need need neeeeeed the largest size possible cuz I know i’ll drain my travel bottle lol. Amazing to layer with coconut, sea salt, woody, aquatic fragrances as it adds some more sunshine to the mix. It kind of reminds me of gypsy water by byredo or aqua vanilla by guerlain. They aren’t close enough to be considered dupes but if you’re a fan of that scent profile you’ll certainly fall in love with this beauty <3. Finally a summer fragrance thats not sunscreen adjacent, but rather if a vanilla fragrance took a dip in the ocean. So fresh.

Bombshell Santorini is a sunlit breeze in a bottle. a summer day distilled into scent. It opens with the gentle caress of peony, dewy and luminous, as if kissed by sea mist. Warm beachy vanilla shines through the heart, not cloying, but soft and creamy, like the light glow of late afternoon. Driftwood anchors the fragrance, adding a salty, sun-bleached elegance that evokes weathered boardwalks and open windows. There’s a tender musk in the drydown, like skin warmed by hours in the sun.🤍💙

smells nice and beachy, but no sillage or longevity.

Not the biggest fan, may have to wear it a few times to really get into this perfume. You can smell hints of vanilla in this but definitely mostly very musky. Smells like a basic cologne to me. But once again, I may have to wear it a few more times.

A beachy, salty vanilla. Just the right amount of vanilla for hot weather that won't make you feel nauseous! The dry down turns slightly floral to me.

BBW At The Beach but sweeter, creamier, and less recently-cleaned porta potty than ATB.

You're swimming in the ocean, your hair & skin smell salty cause of the water but there's beautiful flowers growing on the coast that sweeten the air and there's still traces left of that vanilla perfume you used earlier while getting ready🐚🌸

I can smell something like coconut, it's definitely not vanilla. It's like sea breeze and floral scent. This isn't my type but it might be fun to use in the summer.

This was awful. SUCH a disappointment. I had hopes this was going to be a sweet, fresh vanilla with a salty bite. It's a weak and lame version of vanilla vibes from JHAG, and it's so so so stale smelling. Stale musky salt. With a hint of woody vanilla. This was awful on my skin and barely lasted. I took this right back after 2-3 days of TRYING to make it work. Awful. 2/10

Again wow i am disappointed, all i smell is a public restroom air freshener. So sad about this. I was hoping to get the sea salt everyone was getting

I actually love this fragrance. It reminds me of all the 90s "Pool Scent" scented products that we used to use back in the day. As a matter of fact, I can't remember which one but I am pretty sure PINK had one of those huge box shaped creams that smelled like this. I used it for 3 days combined with the body cream in a 70 degree weather weekend, I went out for walks, ran a race, and went to the beach. I can't really say that I could smell it on my self but my clothing and my skin still smelled like it at the end of the day. It's not overbearing but don't expect a beast mode perfume that is going to project miles away. Sometimes all we need is something simple that smells good even if it's soft.

This smells just like JHAG vanilla vibes which is my all time favorite fragrance. I love the salted vanilla note is also reminds me Afternoon Delight by Maison Martin Margiela. I wanted a big bottle of this but opted for the trio set with all 3 scents this is my favorite out of all 3 but the longevity isn’t there unfortunately so I don’t even know if I’m going to bother buying a bigger bottle. If you like vanilla vibes your better off just buying that the silage is better in my opinion also dossier aquatic vanilla is a beast mode dupe of Vanilla vibes. I love her but she doesn’t last :( boo maybe I’ll try layering or over spraying more. If you like beachy vanilla gourmand you would love this

This has nothing to do with bombshell and could’ve been a separate fragrance. They could’ve made one of the other two the flanker. This is the most unique and vanilla forward take. It’s very much vanilla and salt. The sea salt is noticeable so if you have an aversion to salt, you won’t like this. It’s equally salty as it is vanillic. It lightly smells like butterscotch or toffee, in the realm of sdj 62. It’s sweet and aromatic. There’s a prominent herbal note that reads like cassis. Don’t be misled by the blue packaging, this is not fresh or aquatic.

i got the little 0.23 one cuz it was on sale and i needed a new summer fragrance for on the go. it smells like exactly what you expect, vanilla with hints of the ocean, but in the classic VS way where it’s a little bit muffled and you wouldn’t be able to really tell the notes unless someone told you them. reminds me of a more palatable “at the beach by b&bw” which is kinda mean sounding but that’s what i picked up. i kinda hate how peony is in like all the summer fragrances like let’s switch it up a little bro

Love this one!! maybe its just me, but I feel like Santorini and St.Tropez smell the same, with Santorini smelling a bit stronger? My daughter disagrees and apparently this one was the favorite for summer 2025 because I bought the St.Tropez set first( i love this one too), went back to get Santorini 3.4 bottle, And it's gone!! I can only get my hands on 1.7oz. Also, I've been waiting/hoping they would bring back Sundrenched, for me these are very close to that one , very! So im not disappointed, I'm in love!

I tried on the lotion to this a few months ago and I do really like it I just don’t get much vanilla from this. I tried it because someone said it smells similar to Beach Nights by B&BW but this is more saltwater than vanilla and marshmallow like beach nights. I was a little sad it wasn’t an exact dupe but it does smell good. The vanilla comes out when it dries down but it has more of an aquatic and saltwater smell to me. The floral is there too but not the main note. This is a good one for the summertime

It's very floral. You think vanilla initially, but the vanilla fades rather quickly and you're left with a less vanilla more floral version of gucci floral gorgeous orchid. It was headache including for me. I thought it smelled like cloud creme the first time I smelled it but it's actually quite different. Cloud creme still wins. This is aquatic and watery. Not salty. There is no detectable salt. There is a difference.

I’m totally surprised by this! It reminds me of You by Glossier with vanilla + Gypsy Water by Byredo. It’s VERY musky - smells like s*x on a beach. It’s unlike anything in my collection! I’m glad I snagged it since it’s limited edition. EDIT: An hour later and I’m in heaven! The muskiness died down a bit, and now it’s a creamy butterscotch. Once again, surprised! So happy with this purchase.

This one is so difficult for me because I still am iffy on how I feel about it. Instantly reminded me of the beach and sunscreen, but dry down left a scent in my skin that was so hard to pinpoint until it hit me - play-doh - When you first lift the lid on a new container of play-doh. I can’t unthink it.

It's an okay scent. Very heavy on the sea salt imo. The dry down is slightly floral/vanilla but overall the sea salt dominates. Smells like a less fruity version of Fiji Sunshine Guava-Tini by B&BW. Maybe it smells better in the summer

salty woody vanilla skin scent. this is pretty subtle but really pretty. i like it a lot for summer. it doesn’t last long though

This smells exactly like vanilla vibes by Juliette has a G$N . Save yourself some money and get this. The perfume not body mist.

To me, it smells like coconut. Since it doesn't have coconut, I think it's the vanilla&musk combo what I'm picking up.

If you already have Tease Dreamer, you do not need this one. It’s smells exactly the same just repackaged.

This is a softer version of Miami Nectar without the pineapple at the top. I think it’s lovely!

Smelled wonderful in the store but at home on me smells like baby throw up

smells like warm playdough and vomit :( was so disappointed by it
