Watery horror

This perfume tops my 'most hated scents' list. Such a disappointment when I loved the male version so much.

This was a horrid blast of sourness and nose burning acidity. It beats me as to how people can wear this. When the horrible top notes mellow all I get is a boring, predictable water scent.

Nothing exciting about this what-so-ever.

Flash Flood

I purchased a new mini so it must be the reformulated version. I've read great reviews elsewhere on the original so thought I'd give it a try.

This opened with a sharp, sour citrus making me think of grapefruit and some spices. It pretty much stayed that way until fading into nothingness after a half hour, thankfully. Sillage was stron for the first few minutes then faded into a skin scent. Other than the cute bottle this one just isnt for me.

I'm On My Bedroom Floor Watching The X-Files

This was my first fragrance love that was MINE, not my Mom's, so while fragrance is always subjective this is one fragrance I can't even attempt objectivity with.

That said, I think this is objectively one of the best aquatics ever and ya'll are clowns if you disagree with me. ;)

OK but really, I still wear this. I know 90's aquatics get dragged constantly as boring, synthetic generic shower gel dude fragrances but I was never a rain-scented shower gel kind of girlie and I don't ever encounter men's blue fragrances so I don't have these associations. For me, it's refreshing, cold, sharp, and fruity. The only florals are just a hint of water lily and lotus. This is what I'm looking for in a summer fragrance and only Curious Eau de Parfum comes close (though that is way sweeter and more floral).

The new Cool Water Woman is so thin and watered down. I don't want to use my OG Cool Water Woman too much since they're vintage bottles and I don't want to dilute the olfactory memories. So, I also collect the flankers in the search for something that is similar to the OG but a little different.

I hope someday someone revives this category and gives us a new feminine take on blue fragrances that I will love even more but I stand by Cool Water Woman until that day comes even if I stand alone.

Also if any of you have Cool Water Woman flankers that you bought and hated, look at my profile and if I don't have it in my collection, message me.

Salty musk takeover

A good perfume for everyday wear on hot summer days. This would make a great fresh fragrance for active beach vacations. It does give off a very active vibe. This scent better suits someone practising water sports instead of a sunbather. It's not a very feminine scent.

Upon spraying it I noticed that it was a sharp, but fresh scent on me. The aquatic and ozonic notes are the first that I noticed. Apparently it's supposed to smell a lot like pineapple, but I don't smell that at all. I don't mind though because pineapple is way too sweet for my tastes anyway. The scent really isn't all that sweet. I do however smell the melon in the scent. There's also a little tinge of peach in it. You can already smell the musk when you apply it, but it's not yet overpowering the fresh and fruity notes.

After a couple of hours the freshness has gone and you're left with a faded salty and musky smell. I personally don't really like it and I would have preferred if it ended a bit more sweet. The salty smell does remind me of the beach.

All in all, it's a bit too musky. I like the initial aquatic and melony smell right after spraying, but I wouldn't buy again because I dislike the salty musk that appears after two hours of wearing it.
