What wearers say
āI havenāt tried the Juliette has a Gun inspiration so I canāt compare it, but as a stand alone fragrance this is very nice. Thereās very realistic aquatic note in the opening with just a hit of rose, a soft woody, creamy base note with just enough coconut to enhance but not overpower it. Like a gentle sea breeze on your warm, salty skin after a day at the beach. The vanilla comes through more strongly on the dry down - I rather wish the fresh opening notes would stay around longer but itās still a lovely fragrance.ā
āIām not a marine scent person, but I could see myself wearing this in the summer sometimes. I got in a vanilla set. I have not smelled the original. The smell is very beachy and sort of like a nice classic sunscreen. I could see a lot of people liking this, so I may end up giving it away, but the description is spot on.ā
āThis smells like BUG SPRAY. I thought I got a bad batch so I returned it and got another bottle but nope! Itās awful, I get a hint of something that may have potential but that bug spray chemical smell is so SHARP and awful!! Yuckā¦dont waste your money on this.ā
