An average smelling scent in a fancy bottle
Reviewing again now I’ve had my sample a few months.
In the opening I get a tropical fruit basket that I’m not overly keen on. It reminds me of fruits that are warm from sitting out in the Caribbean heat, on a breakfast buffet. While I enjoy the smell of tropical fruits on an exotic beach holiday, I don’t love it on my skin in the cold of the UK. As it dries down the fruits do fade into the background and the coconut appears. At this stage I get a bit of an artificial, doll head coconut. As it dries down further it does get creamier and the coconut note improves, but it just doesn’t have the quality I’d expect from a £200+ perfume. If you want the fancy Murano glass style cap, you can expect to pay £320 for this. I just don’t feel this scent matches the price point. I over-sprayed this just to review it again because it disappeared out the tester, pretty much instantly, when I first tested this. Yes it does leave a subtle scent bubble, if you over spray like crazy, but it still doesn’t last! It very quickly becomes a skin scent, and even then it has disappeared from my wrists after 15 minutes. I can only smell this on my inner elbow if I hold my arm up to my nose. Maybe this is better suited so someone who lives in a hot, tropical country.
I really wanted to love this…. I like it, but it’s absolutely no where near worth the price point. I personally feel there are body sprays that smell better and last longer than this. I’m really glad I didn’t blind buy this one.
