Beachside nights, juicy quince, salted air...
This reminds me of Autumn nights on Padre Island, bonfire ablaze and the air heavy with salt on a pulsating breeze, tiny crabs running sideways here and there and the shore dotted with seashells like pearls in the sand. The crisp ginger and sweet, juicy quince dance in a unique accord over the depth of the wood and sweetness of the amber in the base. She does remind me vaguely of my husband's Aqva Pour Homme (the shared DNA is quite obvious to my nose) and I love that one, though like someone else has mentioned, the Pour Homme is by far a stronger, larger-projecting fragrance.
For this one I suspect the warmer it is outside, the more she will completely unfold and shine. As it is on this cool Spring morning, I am nostalgically transported back to the Gulf Coast shores, surrounded by friends and the gorgeous salted air.
Scent: 9/10 probably 10 in warmer temps
Performance (longevity): Moderate. Fair enough.
Value: Good. No complaints about the price for what I've received in exchange.
Sillage: depends largely on application. With 3 sprays, moderate.
A small caveat worth mentioning: I oversprayed this once and made myself nauseous so start out with this one cautiously. She is a beauty, though. Just be careful, folks. ♥
