rainbow sherbet
A summery, synthetic carnival of a fragrance. It’s rainbow sherbet made scent. There’s a sprightly citrus lean – I can clock the candied lemon and mandarin – but it’s more Starburst than fresh-squeezed. There’s also an overarching plasticky feel to the scent, which I hope is intentional, as it makes me think of jelly sandals and beach balls. It’s juvenile, but in a nostalgic way. Grade school birthday parties, complete with cotton candy machine. The jewelry rack in the back of Claire’s, the air fizzing with a spectrum of body mists. I have a soft spot for these gummy-fruity-nerolis, but I think Regime des Fleurs’s Nitesurf Neroli has a more interesting execution with its seasalt and amber.
Mental Snapshot: It’s the last week of junior high and you’re on a sugar high. You’re on a field trip to the boardwalk. Or a waterpark. Heart-shaped sunglasses, hibiscus-print tankini, holographic plastic fanny pack. You spend all your change on Dance Dance Revolution rounds at the arcade. Or on Dippin Dots. You don't even feel the sunburn.
tl;dr: rainbow sherbet aerosol ️
