The pickle was a dream
I wanted to try this because the notes sound perfect for me, and I was interested in the infamous "pickle" claims.
First time spraying, I got no pickles whatsoever. Just a pretty basic fruity-sweet-floral, somewhat synthetic smell. Very basic "feminine" (for people who care about that- I don't) smell, nothing groundbreaking or unique but still nice.
I tried spraying it a bit thicker and closer to the skin, and I think I found the so called pickle, but only if I squint. To me, I think its probably just the synthetic and alcohol smell bringing that note out, and it fades almost immediately and dries down to the fruity sweet floral. But, this is the body mist and not the EDP after all.
Edit 8/14/25: After wearing this for a while, enjoying it but holding the opinion that it was just "nice," it's suddenly shifted slightly the past few days. I'm unsure if it's my nose, body, or the fragrance itself (is post-purchase maceration a real thing for these $11 body mists?), but the synthetic dill moment has gotten less and less, and I can actually smell the coconut now. Still nothing special, but I'm enjoying it even more. Sweeter, fruitier, and less synthetic. I kinda miss the dill because I actually liked it, and it's coming off slightly less floral as well (sad), but the change is still welcome and others might like being around me more now. Either way, I enjoyed it before and after the shift.
