Beach in a bottle
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.

Like a personal sunbeam
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.

Stroll on the beach
Its a carefree stroll down a beach barefoot in the early evening when its not quite so hot, coconut appears not suntan lotion like,i dont get overbearing salt notes but still feel the sea and sand and a clean musky undertone. Not overpowering, not the greatest longevity but every sunshine scent I have tried have never reached the heights of huge longevity. If I. Like something enough, I see no problem in respraying. This house produces scents that are not mainstream and set a picture in your mind or evoke memories and if a scent can do that, well its a winner in my eyes.

Coconut Walk?
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.

Beach teen of 2010s
Dead accurate to the smell of being a teenager in a coastal town. I can’t say if it’s appealing to a youthful wearer, but it does remind me of my youth.

The notes I could name remind me of hairspray, sunscreen, and coconut milk. There is something synthetic about this fragrance but it’s not offensively so.

Floral-forward sunscreen, salt water, and something slightly plastic/powdery. Really does smell like a walk on hot sand next to the sea.
