St. Barth's recap

Some have been asking for a recap on my fragrance journey during my trip to St. Barth's. I tried to take enough decants to be able to wear something new every day. The weather was unbelievable so the scents were allowed to shine more.

MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver - A great fresh option that I will savor due to the price. Gives me a fresh metallic feel that really goes does fit the environment. Decent performance but the freshness of the scent did not allow me to get whiffs in passing. Bought a 30 ml and will savor this for special circumstances.

Lucianno Coastal Breeze - My entrance into the LG Pacific Chill world and this does not disappoint. The apricot punch off the top really stands out to me. Being an Extrait de Parfum, the performance is really good for a freshie. One of my favorite fresh fragrance profiles I use.

AdP Fico di Amalfi - My heart goes out for this one. I really want this to be better but the performance just really does not work as well as I hoped. The fig note is there at first spray, but it was not getting much lasting performance.

Frangrance World Essence de Blanc - My entrance into the LV Imagination world. Was a hype beast for a minute when it came out. I really enjoy the profile and get pretty good performance. The team note is very captivating for me to really enjoy. My spouse even tried it and enjoyed.

Nishane WuLong Cha - Going in the same vein as EdB, the tea note really generates a pretty good performing fresh fragrance. Bought a 15 ml discovery set and will look to get more when it runs out. Just so original, which it more enticing to me.

Rasasi Hawas Tropical - Wore this out on the plane to PR and it is really becoming a quick favorite. Was originally concerned about the Coconut note but it comes off more like fresh cut and not creamy and heavy.

AdP Colonia Pura - Considering this is an EDC, I really enjoy this super citrus bomb. Found a big bottle of this for a great price so I don't care if I overspray. Does not come off like a lemon cleaner. Just fresh and crisp.

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche - Took me a few wearings to enjoy this profile. I think I was expecting something creamier and got a fresh lemon. Understand the descriptions of the Lemon Meringue Pie but it is still very fresh and light. Decent performance with a higher classy profile.

As a side not, I did get a change to go into LV and see just how close my interpretations are and I was more comfortable in the fact that I made the best decision at the time. For the price, my choices really helped me to enjoy the profiles and see how close they may be to the OG.

As for my spouse, I think the winner was Goldfield & Banks Southern Bloom, which surprised me a little. She did wear the Atelier d'Ors Pink me Up a couple of times but I am not sure if she enjoyed it. Will have to see if she did wear all of them.

Hope this helps some for any summer choices.
