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.
