What wearers say
“Finally finished up my bottle after a year of long daily use at the office. I do like the scent; it is powdery, creamy, and a bit citrusy. My main issue is the performance; I only get around 4-5 hours of longevity and moderate sillage. It is kinda good for daily use, especially on sunny and humid days at my place. Would I buy it again? Nope, it does get easily bored with this scent, despite the fact that the scent is unique. I would definitely revisit this fragrance, but maybe after another year of use of the other new daily fragrance.”
“The opening very much matches jpg. It has a fantastic coconut opening, very sweet. However, I do not care for the dry down on my skin, I find it a bit unpleasant. Overall, while the opening is nice, I find it a bit unwearable compared to some others that ive tried. It lasts about 5-6 hours and projects well. Good looking bottle and atomizer. I would wear this occasionally, more likely to layer with, but would not repurchase.”
“I don't know how, but Khadlaj did something that makes it smoother compared to Le Beau Le Parfum. I'd say it's 98% similar(?) but this one's smoother for some reason. Very very pina colada that turns into a coconut + vanilla dry down, great for summer.Longevity: 10-12 hoursProjection: Slightly above moderate but not strong (2-4 hours)Notes: 2 week maceration so I'm assuming it gets better from here.Irrelevant: Bottle is really really nice, I love the sound it makes when the cap hits the bottle.”
