I live in a California beach town, and this oil is the epitome of surf culture. (I am not a surfer, but love the coast.) Here it's a four season fragrance. It would make a fabulous fragrance oil for summer in colder climates. Or maybe when you just miss summer! The oil feels silky going on, and fear not, the intensity warms up as you wear it. Upon application, the scent is only a shadow of itself after 1/2 hour onward. This a sweet (not candy), creamy coconut with a suntan lotion vibe. Every note advertised is here. For such a simple fragrance, it's rich. As @Scentwitch remarked, it's a summer vacation in a bottle.

The first spray is startling. I'm confronted with an intimacy of skin and musk. There's an impression of savory milk. An aquatic, mineral squid on glass. However, this intense biologic fades quickly. The synthetic watery notes are aldehydic, not calone based marine notes. Soft. There's plastic somewhere, interesting and pleasant. Within 15 minutes, there's yuzu, peach, milk, along with mild freshness. 30 minutes is a powdery, savory peach milk. Is there a faint, plastic sweetness of a doll's head? After about 45 minutes the final dry down rests in an aldehydic, powdery and lactonic musk and floral. Wear time is at close to 5 hour, and the skin scent lingers long afterwards. Silage is generally intimate. FWIW, I never sense pear.

After a brief window of 30 minutes, the woody bergamot vanishes on me. What's left is mainly ISO E Super and Ambroxan. There is a hint of Firstanol, but not a sandalwood I find with much distinction. This isn't find this nearly as sexy interesting and pleasing as Debaser (of which I am a BIG fan). The longevity is good (I rated it at 8, not quite a 9). It's unisex, and I suppose there is a homely, bare beauty in I Don't Know What. There's more interest and better silage than Not a Perfume, but not enough for me to plunk down the cash for a full bottle. Still, I know it is a fan favorite. When my Scentbird decant is finished, I won't replace it. However, I'll try Jazmin Yucatan and their Coriander and hope for better.

Coconut water, jasmine, and heliotrope combine to create an airy variation on typical vacation fragrances. The fragrance is never cloying, overly sweet, or indolic. Alien Goddess is well-crafted with no one note forming an edge. The bergamot adds tang but not sharpness, and the vanilla cashmeran base notes provide a soft base for the florals and adds a little creaminess to the coconut. The really cool looking claw bottle travel spray is refillable and feels good in the hand. My only criticism is a shorter than expected longevity. The scent is gone in about four hours. But to be frank, this is better than many contemporary scents, especially clean scents. Overall, despite my criticism, this is a five star fragrance. I'm 95% likely to purchase a full bottle.

This smells like a doll’s head, but I like it. It reminds me of a very stripped down The Ghost in the Shell (which I adore!) They layer well together by boosting each other, and the Etat Libre d’Orange provides the longevity that You lacks. I'd like to try it with Room 1015 Sonic Flower, and if I do, I'll update.
