Fruit Salad with Potential for a Caribbean Cocktail
"St. Barth" is one of the many abbreviations for the Caribbean island of Saint-Barthélemy (Saint Bartholomew). The indigenous people call it "Ouanalao".
The "Ligne St Barth" produces perfumes there with natural ingredients that capture the Caribbean flair. The individual batches are subject to significant fluctuations. Their shelf life (when stored) is low, presumably due to the absence of chemical additives.
"Ouanalao" initially smells like a Christmas fruit salad, meaning it has notes of oranges, apples, grapes, and walnuts. This image was created in my mind the first time I encountered "Ouanalao", and since then it flashes back every time. Thanks to the tropical Annona fruit, which opens the scent profile with a fruity-cool touch alongside mandarin.
After the top note fades, unusual, sweet wood aspects emerge. The boxwood likely sets the tone here. After a while, this can become annoying, and I have already received negative feedback about it from my surroundings. Taken alone, the fruit salad is only refreshing at the beginning. It is hardly suitable for wearing alone (i.e., without layering). This probably results in the currently poor rating of 63% based on 8 reviews.
"Ouanalao" only fulfills its true purpose when combined with vanilla. It is almost essential to layer it with "Vanille West Indies" (from the same manufacturer):
One spray catapults me from the Christmas table to the Caribbean. There I lie under palm trees in a hammock on the beach next to a thatched-roof bar. Music from a steel band drifts over from the nearby village, and a gentle breeze blows. Should I sip the fruity umbrella cocktail in my hammock or walk the 15 meters to a chair under the thatched roof?
Conclusion:
The rarely used ingredients lead to a naturally appealing fruit salad scent that can be transformed into a Caribbean cocktail with vanilla. Together, "Ouanalao" and "Vanille West Indies" are Caribbean vacation in a bottle.
