    It doesn’t smell like that typical modern sunscreen, but rather an old-school one packed with jasmine. It projects a lot at first, though once it dries it clings more to the skin; in my case, it projects for about 2 hours and lasts 6-7 on the skin, a bit longer on clothes. Ideal for summer days or daily wear, although the price is high for what it is. The scent is jasmine with mandarin citrus and salty notes of sea, sand, and water; everything is noticeable. I imagine a beach balcony with potted jasmine in the early hours, with that freshness, sea breeze, and smell of sand. It’s floral, fresh, aquatic, and salty. If I had to assign it a character, it would be Julia from Blue Summer: it smells like a retro 80s beach, perfect for her. For anyone who likes fresh, aquatic, salty citrus jasmine, it’s a total hit.

    It doesn’t smell like that typical modern sunscreen, but rather an old-school one with a very prominent jasmine note. It has a powerful opening, but once it dries, it clings to the skin; in my case, it lasts 6-7 hours and a bit longer on clothes. Ideal for summer days, although the price is a little high for what it is. The scent is a strong blend of jasmine with mandarin, sea salt, sand, and seawater; everything is noticeable. I imagine an early morning balcony on the beach with potted jasmine and a sea breeze. It’s floral, fresh, aquatic, and salty. If I had to assign it to someone, it would be Julia from ‘Blue Summer’, because it evokes that 80s beach vibe and would suit her perfectly. If you like fresh, salty, citrusy jasmine, this will be a hit.

    To be honest, I don’t smell anything of the beach, probably because I haven’t spent my life by the shore. At first, I was hugely disappointed; it seemed like chlorine or floor cleaner. Since it was expensive, I told myself I had to use it, and over time I grew to appreciate it. It’s a very unique scent. The beauty isn’t in the opening, which sounds aggressive, salty, and with a lot of edge. The base notes are sweeter and rounder; the mandarin is noticeable. I recommend it if you like trying different essences. I don’t think it’s for everyone, but once you find its appeal, it becomes very pleasant and interesting. Edit: smelling it hours after application, I finally understood what it smells like: wet dog. Just like when I bathe my furry friend and come out, it smells exactly like that.

At first, I was hugely disappointed because I felt it smelled like pool chemicals, like chlorine or floor cleaner. Since it was expensive and I couldn’t avoid using it, I applied it repeatedly until I grew to like it. It’s a very unique scent.

  5. It’s exquisite. You can smell the sand mixed with flowers, nothing like those typical beach fragrances. It has excellent longevity and sillage.
