Sex and the Sea

On first spray, I was in love. But the longer I wore it, the more I tried to cover it up with absolutely anything. For those with a refined palette, I may be missing something. I can absolutely see how someone would love this scent. I guess it just *really* disagreed with my body chemistry.

This is a wonderful summer scent to have on hand. It's beachy, but uniquely so. There's no astringent sea air notes, no capital C Coconuts, and completely avoids the old sunscreen smell that frequently comes with "summer skin" fragrances. My partner hates most fragrances, but he really likes this one. It's that kind of gentle scent. There's not obvious notes of any kind to me, but the scent doesn't feel muddled either. It smells like skin that's been subjected to the summer sun, potentially involving a beach but also maybe they slept in a hammock surrounded by warm white flowers.

Sexy. Overheated skin is right.

I just tried a sample of Sex and the Sea and wow, it's so good! It has a unique fragrance profile and it's just warm, inviting, and creamy. I can smell the pineapple, vanilla, coconut, and sandalwood. The notes blend so well with one another and it's an instant love for me. It reminds me baby aspirin, it smells like baby aspirin back in the day tasted if that makes sense. I don't know haha...that is what it is reminding me of. I am definitely going to add this to my list of "must buys"! I feel like this fragrance would be amazing in the winter, but probably easily worn throughout the year as well. It's definitely worth a try if the notes or name intrigue you.

I am a novice in the fragrance world - this is my first review and I’m testing my nose and learning notes so forgive me. This scent blew me away immediately. The ambergris made the first entrance and I smelled salty ( what I believe is supposed to be) “sea” . I audibly said “whoo”! The middle gave me a brief whiff of pineapple but that didn’t last long. The dry down reminded me and my husband of Jamaica and all the things that can be done on the beach without interrogation. The animalic civet stays from middle to dry down but once the base notes come in the animal, almost plasticky scent is softened with creamy benzoin and sandalwood. I love it~perfect blend of sex and sea. I give 4 stars as I am not sure what constitutes 5 still learning!
