COCKTAIL IN A BOTTTLE!!!!

This smells like an expensive cocktail you bought in the Seychelles. On first spray you are met with such nice green watery airy and slightly minty freshness mixed with coconut, sweet fig and spicy ginger, there’s also salty aspects floating in the back like you’re near the ocean.

A little bit later into the fragrance you get a switch and now it comes across more like a cocktail meets expensive coconut suntan lotion. The aquatic, spicy ginger and salt notes start to fade and you get more fig, coconut and creamy sandalwood.

Into the late drydown, the top notes will have almost completely left, there’s still some mint lingering but you’re mostly left with sweet fig, coconut and creamy sandalwood, there is also some detectable vanilla which I’m assuming comes from the tonka bean.

Each stage of this fragrance is a whole different experience, the opening is to die for. This will forever be one of my favourite summer frags.

Projection: 8/10 (1.5m) Sillage: 8/10 (leaves a beautiful trail) Price 7/10 (you get 125ml at a decent designer price)

*Notes*

Leans slightly masculine but is quite unisex.

The fig may go sour when it mixes with sweat.

Beware when travelling, the bottle tends to leak if placed on its side for extended periods of time.

Opening may cause compulsive reapplies.
