What works
- ●Coconut-suncream accord that doesn't tip into piña colada territory
- ●Reads as 'just back from the beach,' not 'going to the beach'
- ●Clean and easygoing — works on anyone in summer
Trade-offs
- ●Performance is borderline insulting at this price
- ●More 'beach hotel lobby' than ocean — name oversells the saltiness
Similar scent DNA — if you own one, you may not need the other
