Surprised Me
Marine scents, coconut, and beachy florals tend to be more of a miss than a hit for me, so while I was intrigued by the notes and description, I was trying to manage my expectations before trying Sydney Rock Pool. Happy to say I was pleasantly surprised! Sydney Rock Pool is an unusual but approachable scent, with mineral notes and the aromatic, woody, vintage-feeling Arquiste DNA toning down the coconut and florals, cutting the sweetness of those notes to make the scent feel more atmospheric. Also, there's something in this that unlocked a memory of how it smells being in a hotel elevator after coming back from walking on the shore, in a good way. I would recommend that anyone who tends to hate "beachy" scents try this: it's a real gem.
