I Love Their Clothes, But The Scent?...
Ted Baker Skinwear opens with a bergamot and lime combo that nearly immediately meshes with a strong oceanic accord from the heart notes that is a bit salty. This overall accord almost has an almost tarragon-like nature and could easily be mistaken for it. Base notes of clean musk and cedar wood add structure to the mostly fruity aquatic nature of the scent from start to finish. Projection and longevity are both average.
Skinwear is one of the better aquatics on the market (albeit that is not saying much); it has a pretty distinctive fruity open that I am still unsure whether I really like it or not, even after a few wearings. The salty aquatic heart accord is not atypical of the genre and folks that are bothered by calone should steer as Skinwear is loaded with it. Finally the base notes really never take center stage, but the musky cedar does mesh pretty well with the oceanic heart accord late. The bottom line is Skinwear is not a scent *I* want to wear, but it is a cut above the norm in the genre and those looking for an aquatic could certainly do far worse. Skinwear generously earns 3 stars out of 5 and an "above average" rating. Recommended only for calone-laced aquatic fans.
