Sun screen at first, vibrating florals after
The perfumer's inspiration for this scent was a volcano eruption Hawaii, where smells of the exuding lava mixed with the burned vegetation and burned flowers. Evocative image . . . I can see it fitting, sort of - but that's not what came to my mind prior to reading about the inspiration.
Prior to reading about the inspiration or looking at the official scent notes, my experience was this: sun screen. Overall, that's what it smells like. But that's just first glance, because it's actually complex, interesting, and quite nice. It kind of starts to hum or vibrate . . . and I couldn't quite place what I was smelling, but it's the floral notes. So this is sort of a sunscreen-y and floral scent that kind of vibrates, kind of like how a hot and moist environment feels like it's vibrating in high humidity. Or how cicadas make a rhythmic humming sound. I'm on the fence; It's kinda cool. However, projection was weak, and in around 30 minutes it was a skin scent only. Longevity was only low-to-moderate (3-4 hours.)
