Nice Trip on the Ferry
On me, Kingston Ferry opens woody and green with a bit of sharpness that settles down very quickly into a soft woody, green floral. There is something here- an almost undetectable gasoline/fuel "note." It isn't unpleasant at all, and you sense it more than you really smell it (I swear that really does make sense, I think). It's not unpleasant at all and is, with the seagrass, evocative of a ferry.

I don't get any "fish" smell at all, just driftwood and sea grass, with their hints of salt, but I really like it. The saltiness, on me, is bringing bit of a fresh, briny accord into the woody, green florals.

On me, this saltiness fades within a couple of hours, and the drydown is a creamy, aromatic woody scent, which is very pretty and rather unique I think.

IMO Dr. Covey really hit the mark with this fragrance. It's quite good, although not something I would want to wear everyday. It's a unisex, adult fragrance, which lasts about 6-7 hours on me; sillage is moderate through most of that time. Great for warm weather, casual events.

Not for me
Let me start by saying that, while I have the utmost respect for Dr. Ellen Covey as an artist, I am clearly not the target demographic for this fragrance.

Here's an excerpt from my review of night flyer:

"What makes Dr. Ellen Covey a true artist, is how she breaks those expectations by creating very literal and unconventional fragrances. Dr. Covey doesn't just give you an ocean scene filled with coconuts, she brings you to the ocean "warts and all" and lets you breath the briny, salty air. This is great, transportive art. But not necessarily how a person wants to smell."

In the case of Kingston Ferry, you have a gorgeous forest smell. Very similar to her other fragrance, Olympic Rainforest (a beautiful fragrance). But here we have added a repulsive, briny, salty undertone.

As someone who can't even stand to eat seafood, this is one of the most disgusting combinations I can imagine. It smells like fish and algea. I usually try a fragrance on my skin at least once before I write my reviews, but with this one, I can hardly even stand to be in the same room as the sample.

Imagine a beautiful fairy forest, but it has a bloated dead fish in it.
