Cocoyster Sãlum 2024

Cocoyster of the four Salums in the new collection is definitely my favorite.
A slightly crisp opening opens to a creamy, sensual coconut accompanied by notes of the sea.... Eating oysters on the beach accompanied by a nice coconut cocktail.
Realistic, direct and absolutely delightful, compliments guaranteed!
This, for me who loves the sea, is an exotic sea, almost out of the ordinary or my comfort zone that I like, and a lot.
Enveloping and summery at the same time.
I think it will be a must for the summer.

Sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet. Salty but not drying or astringent. Like drinking the best pina colada on the beach, gentle and airy and sunny and tropical. Or like lounging poolside at a very nice hotel, upbeat music music playing, cold cocktail in hand, with the clean and crisp seawater not too far away.

Cocoyster was perfect when I smelled it on paper, and I hoped it would be perfect on me too. Luckily, it is. It reminds me of the fattest oyster I’ve ever eaten in my life, on my honeymoon, an oyster so plump it had marbling. This scent gets saltier and richer over time which I really love. It’s so aquatic and wearable with that big juicy oyster note underneath.

At first this is very bright and juicy, almost like a junior high body spray, but it very quickly feels more sophisticated and mature. The salt note is actually really sexy the longer it goes. It’s like you swam in the ocean and changed into a flowy white dress for dinner without showering. There’s still salt in your hair and on your skin, traces of the sea dried down underneath your makeup, which is trendy and glowy and effortless, of course.

It’s so perfect. Grab your new spouse and a Michelin star dinner reso in the tropics and enjoy.

I love this one. It has a unique vibe to it, I’ve never smelled something similar.
It basically is a salty coconut, a very realistic one. You definitely get the airy, fresh ocean aroma with a coconut that becomes gradually even creamier as it settles down. The dry down is even better. 10/10, persistence is otherwordly

My skin hates this. My chemistry does not vibe with this AT ALL. It seems salty, briny notes stand out more on me because this straight up felt like I'd vigorously rubbed myself with an oyster. It was nauseating and overwhelming. It withstood rubbing alcohol, vinegar, a baking soda scrub, washing with three types of soap, and a shower. I wish I could say I was exaggerating but I am not. After all of this, it still lingered, but as very light florals. I envy anyone who has a good experience with this. I smelled like the freshest fish in the market of a landlocked state.

Cocoyster plays in a world that I simply enjoy.
I predominantly like salty scents. I also love coconut and the combination of salt and coconut.

I get similar impressions, for example, from
Parfums d'Elmar Yaringa.
However, the Yaringa is a bit softer and sweeter overall in comparison.
Additionally, Cocoyster has a slight incense note towards the end and feels generally a bit "rougher" than the Yaringa.

Cocoyster initially starts with a powerful burst of coconut.
The salty character is already noticeable as well.
The coconut note keeps everything somewhat in check with its initially strong presence.
A few moments later, the coconut pulls back a bit with its sweetness, allowing the salty character a bit more room and attention.

Over many hours, in my opinion, it is simply a great blend of this salty, maritime flair and coconut.
Towards the end, or with the passage of time, the scent becomes a bit more "masculine." Masculine might not be the right word, but I can't quite describe it right now.
In any case, I then get a subtle incense note along with the elem resin.
Everything is still very well balanced.
I really like it!

In my eyes, the scent is super unisex wearable, and the performance of the fragrance is completely fine to good. It lasts about 8 hours on me, and the sillage is also not bad.

Anyone who enjoys salty scents and has no problem with coconut should definitely give this fragrance a try.
