Malibù - Party in the Bay Simone Andreoli 2018

Sea, beach, pools, cocktails.... who does not love that?
Animated by the many positive comments here I had to test this fragrance, which supposedly implements this scenery olfactory very well, simply and luckily there is the souk here!

The sample is there, today is tested:

9 o'clock:
I dare 5 sprays (2 x neck, 1 x neck, 1 x back of the hand, 1 x shirt in the elbow area).
The top note tingles fresh in the nose, very clearly I hear the lime, while the child praises: you smell so like "Zritone".
But was it? No, there is something else! Pineapple? Cocos? I discard the first pineapple association then again, because it's the combination of lime and sweet sticky sugar that gives off a similar vibe. Although this sugary touch (a previous comment spoke of a similarity to a "Nimm2 candy", which I can well understand) is still supported by a hint of coconut, the fresh note of lime (or "Zritone") clearly prevails.
The sillage is strong, I smell the fragrance itself so clearly that I probably pull a scent veil of several meters behind me in closed rooms or corridors.

11 o'clock:
The radiance has reduced quite slightly, the tingle from the beginning is gone, the notes melt into a rather sugary syrup of lime and coconut. Rum? Sandalwood? Rather not yet. On the skin, the scent is much more pleasant than on the shirt sleeve, amazing.

11:15 am:
A colleague comes into the office. "What smells so good here? Is that a room fragrance?"

13:00:
So very tentatively something woody shows up close to the skin. On the clothes, the performance has clearly diminished.

15:00:
The lime retreats further and further, sugar and coconut become more powerful. At the same time, the fragrance becomes thinner overall, so you are not crushed by the sweetness. A subtle woody note provides a touch of elegance.

17:00
The fragrance is very close to the skin and so slowly he runs out of breath.But 8 hours is a decent performance. End of the test.

So much for my impressions.
Now, of course, the question is: When do you wear the?
For very high temperatures, it is a tad too sweet, and if you wear it in the evening at the bar, you will be suspected of having accidentally poured a (real) cocktail over his clothes before.
For this it is super suitable as a mood lifter on gray days. Who says that you can wear fragrances with summer vibes only in the summer?

Overall, it is a beautiful, special, high-quality unisex fragrance (perhaps a tad more suitable for female creatures because of the timid woody note).
Blindbuy? No, not at the price.

Comparison with Virgin Island Water:
The I had of course already tested, it is however longer ago. In comparison, I prefer "Party In The Bay" a tick, but I can not say exactly why. In addition, the term "sweet Plörre" came to mind at some point in the Creed, not in the Malibu - so overall I felt him as a higher quality.
