Beach Walk Maison Margiela 2012

This perfume is a beach in a bottle, no joke. It’s a beautifully light, salty, slightly coconut scented perfume that feels more of a mist. It couldn’t be a better summer scent, no doubt, and it’s going on my buy list immediately.
Beach Walk is the first Replica Parfum I’ve tried, so now they have my interest.
It’s also a great sleeping scent, because of its delicate nature.
Longevity and sillage isn’t great though, but it’s also an EDT, so my expectations weren’t high there. I can easily smell myself though, and that is my goal.
It’s refreshing, so I don’t mind spritzing more on during the day.

After being slightly disappointed with the projection/longevity of Springtime In A Park, I'll admit that my hopes weren't very high for the same with Beach Walk. I was pleasantly surprised to be proved wrong!

Beach Walk is definitely still a close-to-skin style of fragrance, but it was much more noticeable than SIAP. I was aware of its presence all day long - and even at the end of the day when I was laying in bed, I was still getting an (albeit little) bubble of fragrance.

Unfortunately for me, I'm not actually a very big fan of the scent. I've been searching for a Summery, sun cream-esque scent for a while now, but everything that sounds like it might be what I'm looking for ends up either too vanilla or coconut heavy. The top notes of lemon, bergamot and pink pepper fizzle away almost instantly on my skin, leaving behind a creamy, musky coconut scent that is less reminiscent of a walk on the beach and more like spilling a packet of desiccated coconut whilst baking.

As a young teenager, I was gifted a set of Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers perfumes, and this really reminds me of how Harajuku Lovers G smells on me. It's a scent that wants to be fresh, but there's a cloying and sweet creamy coconut element that prevents it from working.

I will note that this could definitely be a personal thing - I smelled Beach Walk on my partner (we are working through the discovery set together) and whilst coconut cream was definitely still the main note, the pink pepper and cedarwood were much more noticable on him.

It isn't my least favourite perfume in the world, but it definitely isn't one that I'll be reaching for frequently either. Once the little sample atomiser I have is spent, my time with Beach Day will likely come to an end.

This is the smell of being in a cafe or little breakfast spot a couple blocks away from the beach. You are sitting outside and flowers have grown onto the awning of cafe, giving off a soft and sweet floral scent. The breeze carries the faint smell of salt. You are drinking your lemonade and applying sunscreen before you pay the and start your walk to the ocean. This is a very nice and polite citrus and floral fragrance with some aromatic salt and creaminess. Its bright, fresh, and clean like a person is before they get covered in sand and sweat at the beach. Its a good and well made fragrance but its not particularly unique or interesting.

This fragrance is aromatic, so you will leave a bit of salt floral scent trail behind you. This lasted about 4 hours on my skin. There are three sizes available starting at 10ml for $35, 30ml for $85, and a 100ml for $165. For those prices and how crowd pleasing this fragrance is, its a good purchase and addition to anyone's collection.

On me, Beach Walk was almost entirely composed of it's transluzone notes, at first. Before long, around 1-2 hours, the scent transformed into one of coconut milk with notes of lemon + bergamot. It's sillage was low for me, but when the wind blows it does transport you to a youthful beach day with friends.

It lasted quite long on me, around 6-7 hours, but if you DO NOT like the smell of suncream on your skin I would urge you to try it first, as it might not be the scent for everyone. The fragrance to me leaned towards synthetic. Perfectly enjoyable, bought a smile to my face when I caught it throughout the day.

Salty, creamy, coconut with light floral undertones. Sunscreen vibes. The opening is a little sharp with the bergamot, but it soon settles down. Becomes muskier and a touch woody as it fades out. A really lovely beach scent, imo one of the best of its kind. Perfect for summer, and in winter it would be a beautiful reminder of warmer days past (and to come). The only downside is the price; it is expensive for what it is.
