In their words
““I won't like this,” she said. “It will be too masculine,” she thought. Welp. I was VERY wrong. I *love* this perfume! It's an earthy, comfortable scent that makes me think of rain swept cliffs aside a crashing sea, salt in the air and the smell of adventure on the wind! Seriously, I was pleasantly surprised. Short answer: it's not overwhelming or overpowering.”

“This fragrance smells really good it’s filled with beautiful fruity notes that give off a fresh and uplifting vibe. It’s the kind of scent that instantly makes you feel clean and confident. The longevity is decent it lasts around three to four hours on my skin, I think it’s perfect for everyday use, especially during the summer and fall seasons.”
