I was tricked! This is yet another sunscreen scent. I depict no vanilla, mostly a salty coconut in the opening, even though coconut is not listed in the notes. There is a slight sweetness that may be more benzoin than vanilla. I did get a very faint whiff of pickle from the sandalwood when I inhaled deeply & close to the skin, but fortunately, it didn't last long. As it sits, it acquires more of a salty-mineral smell which then combines with a powdery, soft floral before drying down to a synthetic, salty-musk. Longevity is good, as I can still smell it after wearing it for 6+ hours with only one spray to the throat, but I'm really wishing it wasn't. They should have named it Salty Beach Vibes. I’ll just stick to wearing sunscreen when I want to smell like sunscreen. Plus, less $, less cancer.
