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.

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.

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.

Just had an Ego-from-Ratatouille-having-a-flashback moment

I've always believed fragrances are tiny time capsules, but this one immediately teleported me right back. Early 2000s kiddie pool summer, barefoot on the grass, holding the hose while it sprays under the sun causing a tiny rainbow. This perfume was the first perfume I ever owned and the first one that made me realize how much I love fragrances.

This one screams nostalgia. You just had to be there. To me it feels like an icy gulp of water in summer, or a cool breeze in a liminal space. I can't fully explain it but it's what I think the classic Microsoft's Windows XP Bliss background would smell like.

I can totally see myself bringing this perfume back for beach/pool days. It's extremely affordable now and definitely a summer staple. Do not sleep on aquatic fragrances!

Also the fact that it was born (well, released) the same year I was is kinda Cool too.
