I will never not love this.
A delicate woody floral supporting a blast of warm amber, salty ambergris, with metallic notes coming from saffron and Iso E Super.
It's sweet, warm, salty, and metallic.
I want this in my collection forever.
This, on my skin, is a beautiful airy, fresh, salty coconut with minimal sweetness.
It's not a coconut body lotion, it's fresh cut open with coconut water dripping.
There's a very delicate green note and a subtle and warmth from amber, but overall it's light fresh salty coconut.
Perfect delicate scent for summer. Genderless. Something to go with a warm evening and light clothes.
After several hours it's still very noticible on skin. The salty coconut remains, along with an airy, woody, slightly metallic twinge.
I've seen other commentary that this is akin to Another 13 with coconut. And a mix of rave reviews, and ones who hate it or get no coconut. Presume this is to do with Iso E Super?
The only time I've disliked an Iso E Super scent is one from ELDO that I can't recall the name off - it was far too abrasive.
This is a warm, comforting, enveloping scent. Gourmand leaning but not too much so.
It is spicy, resinous and incensey.
It is smooth and creamy and consuming. The cacao isn't too bitter and adds just enough sweetness.
The ambergris is just stunning. Salty, smooth waxy perfection. It's a tincture of 7% natural and ethically sourced ambergris. No synthetics here. I believe the Hyraceum is also authentic and ethically sourced.
The animalics are very well balanced considering the mix of ambergris, hyraceum and castoreum.
The opening is just incredible with a blast of warm creamy spices and ambergris.
Once settled, it is smokey, smooth and creamy, with spices dancing in and out through warm skin, fur, and vanilla.
A beautiful, rich, sweet yet fresh dewy rose.
Some gentle sweetness and spices linger in the background.
Smooth touches of vanilla, and ambergris keep the scent well rounded. Resinous and balsamic warmth add a depth also.
I love this.
Another flanker that follows the Alien DNA but amps it up with more white floral.
The introduction of pear and mandarin is rich and fruity with some citrussy freshness.
This faded on me quite quickly and the jasmine overtook everything. To the point it was almost too intense for me.
After an hour or so, it has softened and allowed some soft smooth woodiness through with a little warmth of amber, but the jasmine remains prominent.
I'm torn on this one.
The citruses are bright, aldehydic but almost effervescent, with mint adding more freshness, like a bath bomb from Lush.
The fruits are ripe and juicy and this is where it doesn't suit me personally. I find that too cloying.
The herbal aromatics are nice but combined with the rich fruits, they lean almost savoury on me.
It's been about 6 hours now and it has settled into soft almost musky fresh and fruity.
I'd take Afternoon Swim over this, I prefer the clean and fresh simplicity. But this settled down really nice.
My friend absolutely loved it and took the rest of my decant 🤣
From Marlou's site;
SKIN, FROM CLEAN TO DIRTY COSMETIC NOTES - CREAMY AND VANILLA APPEARANCE MILKY FACETS - SOFT RESIN INTIMATE ODORS, BABY SKIN, SCALP
RICE POWDER - ROSE - CYPRESS - TONKA - CIVET
Don't know where the listed notes come from, Fragrantica is the same.
If you're looking for something mysterious, sexual, alluring, just the right amount of dirty, this is it.
Warm dank body musk, rose, clean but sweet powder.
The perfect every day.
Citrussy, aromatic, peppery, green, fresh marine.
A little spicy from the patchouli.
Beautifully balanced light and dark.
On first application there is a mix of waxy ambergris and dark sweet oud. There is a slight hint of sweet earthy tobacco but I would have liked more. If you want more tobacco check out Blazing Mr Sam.
Not long after, the oud and spices from cinnamon and patchouli come through with a sweetness rounding it off.
Around 2 hours later it has settled into a slightly dark, fruity oud. There is almost a pot pourri vibe from the woods and fruit mixed with the spices.
