Crisp aquatic
I've never been to Bali, although I know many people who have, including my parents who chose to fly there for their honeymoon many years ago.
Like all of the Island flankers, Very Bali is also very fresh and aquatic. While these types of fragrances aren't really my cup of tea, I do enjoy smelling Very Bali even though I'd probably never wear it or buy myself a bottle.
The jasmine note in this fragrance is very soapy and crisp, further complimented by a strong marine accord. The composition is surprisingly lacking in citrus accords, instead drawing focus to an interesting blend of fresh, airy florals and cooling salt water.
Its freshness alludes to a tropical destination, however I also think that Very Bali smells a little bit like sheets fresh from the dryer, particularly towards the drydown. The base notes are an interesting and rather potent mixture of white musk, woods, freesia and sea water.
I'm really impressed with this perfume's sillage and longevity. It's a relatively new fragrance that has a lot of devoted fans already. I think I actually prefer Very Bali to the original Island. I quite like Michael Kors' approach to this Island series, and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
