Melodies for Melons

With the brand Shay & Blue, I immediately think of their "Salt Caramel." A phenomenal gourmand scent that instantly reminds me of warm popcorn. For me, it's absolutely successful, and my expectations for "Watermelon" were correspondingly high.

However, this one turns out to be far from any watermelons. Only if you know what theme is supposed to be staged can you direct a vague thought towards melons amidst all the synthetic notes with a hairspray character.
This is neither authentic nor refreshing or successful in any way.

Accordingly, I want to keep it relatively short here. While I am not an expert on watermelon scents, I believe there are far better options in this area. Those who can live with the artificial hint of melon and a rather light touch of green tea might find something to appreciate, otherwise, you can confidently skip testing this one. This scent has neither umbrella, charm, and unfortunately, no melon.

Very helpful Review 11

Without an umbrella, without charm - but with watermelon!

Nothing beats a ripe, juicy watermelon as a dessert in summer. Simple and super forever. In perfumes, the hard-shelled fruit rarely makes an appearance. Why? "Watermelons" by Shay & Blue gives some clues.

Watermelons in scents often come across as... watery? Cheap? Chewed up? Gum-like? Annoying? Flat? Unfunny? Chemical? Shower gel-like? Unnatural? Unpleasant?
Take your pick. A bit of everything. Especially with "Watermelons," whose green synthetic note drives my migraine into the watermelon. The vetiver is nowhere to be found, the tea tie is jarring and too long, and the watermelon is anything but flattering. More radioactive and childish than elegant and airy. I can't wear this.

Bottle: they make a statement!
Sillage: you can occasionally catch a whiff of the watermelon man
Longevity: 5 hours Watermelon Sugar Low

Conclusion: my watermelon hurts - unfortunately, I don't like this Shay & Blue at all!

Cat vs. Watermelon

Watermelons,… hm… they are delicious fruits, the perfect treats for summer. Oh, and the only round fruits that my cat cannot push around, no matter how hard he tries. That furball isn’t that strong after all, even if he terrorizes us all here at home and some even cross the street when he shows up :D

As for watermelons, I love these fruits so much that I often nibble on large pieces of the inner rind, yum :D

So I’m curious to see what the scent of Shay & Blue is like, a brand with which I’ve actually had good experiences so far.

The Scent:

At first, it really smells like watermelons. However, they are a bit too sweet, almost as if they have been genetically manipulated in a lab to perfection and thus lost some of their authenticity, but taste better… well… that can be seen as a good thing, or not.
In addition, there are green notes that fit well with the summery scent. One of these green notes has a slightly piercing undertone, could it be the honeysuckle? I’m not sure. You can also smell the green tea quite well, which is a bit faint, but I still like it.
I think, in the base, you can still smell the honeysuckle, the watermelons seem to be less fragrant, but they become noticeable again in the later base. All in all, it’s a synthetic scent, but still nicely done without any particular strengths. However, the synthetic aspect increases significantly after four to five hours, so you should reapply, as the scent doesn’t smell very good anymore.

The Sillage and Longevity:

The projection is low. Well, at first it projects well, but that only lasts a few minutes, after which the projection steadily and quickly decreases. Before long, you have to get quite close to smell the scent on someone.
I would rate the longevity at four hours. The scent probably lasts twice as long, but after about four hours, all the wonderful fragrance notes are used up, leaving a not-so-pleasant synthetic impression. As mentioned above, I would reapply after about four hours.

The Bottle:

The bottle is blue, cylindrical, and has a small bend at the top, continuing conically afterward. The cap is gold-plated and has a multi-faceted lower section. The upper part is hexagonal and flat. The label, which has a gold-plated frame, is white and displays the name of the fragrance alongside the logo. All in all, a quite nice bottle.

So, the scent isn’t as bad as it has been rated here (of course, opinions vary…), it starts off quite nicely and really does smell like watermelons. The remaining scents are green and fit well with the rest or the summery orientation of the fragrance. However, there is a sense of synthetic quality, which isn’t too bad (except after many hours, when it doesn’t smell good anymore), but it is still noticeable. You can compare the scent well with the CK Summer fragrances, as this scent takes the same direction. Because the CK fragrances are also quite synthetic, but for summer, just like the Shay & Blue here, they are quite usable. Thus, it is suitable as a simple daytime fragrance on warm days.

Hmm… if I gently roll a watermelon towards my cat, he gets scared and quickly runs away, or at least hastily scurries to the side. He would never have thought that such a ball could roll towards him, considering he is usually the one rolling balls around!

But he is also a lucky guy, because it must seem to him like the famous scene with the boulder from Indiana Jones, so he could play out that scene in the role of Indy :D
What would he call himself then?... Indiana Cat or Cat Jones maybe? :DD
Probably the latter,… after all, the dog in the Jones family was named Indiana, and I don’t think a cat would take on the name of a dog like our Dr. Jones :DD

Memory of Childhood and Summer

As red and fruity and juicy and full of sweetness as it is, the watermelon shines with the full force of its sprightliness and freshness of the citrus, which flows back into a melony note, harmonizing the sweetness of the melon and the vetiver into a lively and radiant experience that illuminates the space over the skin, brightening the day and highlighting memories of childhood and summer.

Watermelon unfortunately not successful

The fragrance description sounded like a heavenly combination: fruity, fresh, green, and light. Exactly my style!
Launched in 2015 as a unisex fragrance, the nose behind it is Julie Masse.
What could we not like when thinking of juicy, refreshing watermelon? Well, exactly that is very rarely found in "successful" fragrances, as watermelon often smells
cheap, synthetic, flat, and boring. The watermelon has also failed here; you can't even recognize it. An artificial watermelon and one-dimensional green tea.
For almost two full days, I wasn't sure why it still smelled familiar.
And then, bingo! It reminds me of the boring mass fragrances from CK, but even more of a cheap scent I wore 35 years ago as a poor student; Revlon's Charlie came in white, red, and silver, all very affordable. The scent smells like a combination of undefined synthetic water and cucumber water or like a twin brother of Silver Charlie. For obvious reasons, no love.
