Yaringa Parfums d'Elmar 2022

Summer fragrances are such a topic for me. Most of them contain citric notes, and unfortunately I don't like them at all. They seem too artificial, too reminiscent of cleaning products.

And the rest of the summer fragrances: they often smell too cheap for me personally. Like a synthetic drugstore concoction.

How glad I am that Yaringa does NOT smell like any of that!!!

Maritime salt including seaweed form the base with a summery coconut. Then there is passion fruit, which gives the fragrance a fruitiness that thankfully does not come across as cheap at all. You can hardly smell thyme directly, but you do notice a very fitting light spiciness.
A yacht, cocktails with coconut and passion fruit, a light spiciness in the air and lots and lots of money. That's what the fragrance smells like to me.
The spray is first class. About the same as Thameen. Sillage and durability great! Also appropriate for the price.
