Delightful beach resort scent!!!
So I bought this fragrance years ago for the first time (maybe 2021 or 2022?). I loved it from the moment I smelled it and thought it was so unique. It smelled like sunshine in a bottle to me and instantly made me feel happier! The name is very fitting for this fragrance. I used it up and went in to try other fragrances after that. Now, fast forward to 2025, I’m looking for a nice tropical/hawaiin/beachy vacation type of scent and this fragrance came to mind after so many years! I decided to order it off memory. It smells amazing in the bottle. I sprayed it for the first time in so many years and for the first 20 minutes it wasn’t my favorite - the florals really came out and it smelled a bit perfume-y for my liking (I have a sensitive nose and I like body oils usually more than perfumes so I’m just not used to perfumes. This would probably be a very light scent for strong perfume lovers). I waited for it to settle a bit and now I absolutely love it. It’s the exact scent I remember and it dries down into a lovely expensive resort spa /sunscreen scent (in a good way) with undertones of coconut and white flowers that aren’t overpowering. I am obsessed with it and I’m so glad I didn’t base my review off of the first few minutes. This scent has the potential to be your absolute favorite scent / signature scent if you allow it to. I realized that it’s ALL in the application. If you spray on your skin from close up it’s going to bring out the perfumey scent and florals more than if you MIST from afar or even spray the air and walk through it. I sprayed in my inner elbow from about 10 inches away and after about 20 minutes I love the scent. You have to allow the fragrance to settle before judging it!!! Spray 20 minutes before leaving the house and you and others will love the way you smell when you leave. In my opinion, this fragrance is worth the buy. It smells expensive and more complex than the other beachy scents out there and it’s not too strong once it settles. It’s truly a delightful scent that stays close to you and creates a nice, personal scent cloud around you without leaving a trail. The bottle is very nice. It’s much nicer than other travel size bottles / sprays that make you feel like you have the cheap version of the fragrance as you long for the expensive full size bottle. It doesn’t feel like a mini version, it feels like a little bottle. It actually seems like it’ll last a while. I’m excited to play around with application to find what I like best! Overall happy with my purchase and hopefully it’ll become my signature scent once I figure out what my favorite way to apply it is. (It’s worth the effort!!!) Read more
