Scent of the summer
I was able to get a sample of this (thanks, Michael at Nordstroms!) and actually tried it for the days I'd be visiting family in hospital as I wanted something that would kind of match and override some of the more astringent smells there. It worked!
As for an everyday fragrance for me, there was just too much coconut for my liking. However, if you are looking for something very bright and breezy, sweet and sultry, this is your fragrance. It has a very similar base to other Byredo fragrances, kind of a warm comforting scent.

I wanted to love it...
This was my hands down favorite of the Lore line. Very nostalgic, 90s feel to it. Reminded me of nighttime bonfires at the beach when I was a teen.
Unfortunately, this did not live well on my skin and after trying to make it work, I'm just realizing it's not the scent for me.
Personally, what I found was that a lot of the Lore line would work better as fragrance sprays, rather than perfume as in the air it was strong and quite lovely. But for me just way too strong on my skin.

Not for me, but beautiful
I'm not a vanilla person so this scent didn't work for me, but it's now my friend's signature scent. On her skin it lives beautifully. The opening is so fresh in a really joyful way and the dry down becomes very intimate and cozy. The apple isn't a shampoo-like smell that some apple scents can mimic but a nice complement to the apricot. It's the kind of sweetness that isn't cloying.

Like out of a fairy tale
The best way I can describe this scent is it smells exactly like a very fresh peach pit. The peach is there but it's a bit green and the stone/ambrette/clove combo really does smell like wet stone pavers in the best way.
I'm not sure how wearable it is for everyday but as an experience I found it delightful.

The citrus ruined it for me
I've come to realize that due to my own experience very citrusy scents come across like bathroom cleaner for me. Unfortunately, this was one of them. I tried it on my skin hoping it would change and develop but it just smelled like a hotel cleaner to me. On paper, it has a lot of my favorite notes. But it just didn't work for me.
