Scent:
- ITI: Mhm, that’s nice. There’s a balmy woody balsamic breeze up front flecked with seafoam salt. Gentle breezes of coconut and almost fleshy pearl dance around the almost sweet, grassy tea tones of immortelle.
- Wet: Clean coconut situated among dancing immortelle petals that swirl around a slightly aquatic yet lightly vanillic tone of crushed pearl and a faint suggestion of lemon for some reason (not sure where that is coming from. Balsam, I think.).
- Dry: Warm coconut-toned orris alongside the scent of drying sea grasses. Paired with the crushed abalone, this scent is at once joyful and femininely intimate.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “Automotive blueberry, paper carton orange gum, and cocoa butter. At little artificial, but not bad. It’s not super artificial, though. That’s why I’m not 100% sure on that.” -Tony
