Cabana Sunset
So, I’ve had a sample of this one sitting around for a good few months now. Between one thing and another I’ve just never got around to trying it. I finally picked it up this morning; it’s a warm day here and I felt like something summery and fun.
Initial thoughts - drinks on the terrace. Super sweet, sugary, girly cocktails. Barbie core. Sun loungers on a hot, hot day. In terms of scent, fizzy sherbet in the opening, settling down to strawberry and vanilla custard, on top of a creamy, musky base. Is it fun? Sure. As I catch the odd whiff it’s a summery delight.
Here’s the rub: up close it’s very synthetic-smelling, it’s very expensive, and it actually makes my skin feel like it’s burning where I applied it (ETA: this faded after about 30 mins, but makes me think it probably has a fairly high alcohol content…) As far as I understand it, Navitus brand themselves as a luxury Arabian perfume house, but having experienced this scent I feel like I could get better from Lattafa. While I find it pleasant enough, this is not a $195 scent.
