THE FRAGRANCE: Oddly beautiful and evocative of a rocky Northern California beach that I’ve only visited in my imagination. Salty and animalic, I think I finally understand the essence of ambergris – or at least how I imagine it smells.
THE BOTTLE: Gorgeous matte neon coral vessel that every time I look at it reminds me of the blue box in David Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive” – but only coral…

Wow. These guys do flowers to a different rhythm altogether!
Citrus is light for me, only an opening fizzle that quickly leaves the scene. Normally I hate that, but here, it’s ok; you sooner get to the heart of the matter.
Neroli is rendered to a crazy degree. Its like your nose has been given magnifying glasses. You sense the full bloom up close, but its also scaled up and into vivid colour. (In this regard the bottle is excellently chosen).
buried deep within this hyperreal representation of neroli is a salty animal. Its not off-putting, but it does do something strange; It unsettles any idea that these flowers have been captured, for now they seem seem alive. lovely.
Lily gives a little more depth, makes it more grown up, which is great. The overall impression to outsiders is ‘summer in a bottle’, but its more than that because you can always sniff your wrist and get back in the scene.
This is actually art.

Really interesting. Orange tic tacs and jasmine. Like an orange night sky. Surprisingly not overbearing or cloying.

Tangy! One to set your salivary glands a-moistening.
Smooth neroli, playing more like slightly lipsticky orange blossom. Pearlescent and a little sweet, awash with cool, salty waves.
Shallow tides of something metallic; delicately aldehydeous ebbing in and out, like moonlight waxing and waning, glinting on undulating crests, twinkling in symphony with crushed shells rolling on the beach.
Nitesurf is an animated theater of little midnight sea creatures scurrying in shallow waves — happy, delightful, cool, and sweet, briny, buoyant and vivid.

Its a bright neroli and nice smell. I visited the Scent Bar in LA and had the chance to smell it. It is a pleasant fragrance and has quality of sophistication. I will grab a small bottle which is the con about this one. Its small but worth every penny. If you know what I mean.

This is the most expensive Glade bathroom air freshener in the world.

LEFT OF CENTER
I was excited to try this fragrance based on some review I read about its fresh modern take on citrus and flower.
I can see from the notes that indeed it could have lived up to the hype – but it falls short.
It opens with an intriguing fresh citrus/flower combo with something unusual knocking at the back door (seashells? ambergris?)
But it dances between an interesting salty/marine citrus & flower and the smell when entering the elevator of a Florida condo building soon after the weekly canasta game lets out.
I was uncomfortable wearing this. It not only smells feminine, but skewed towards those women in their twilight years.
If I want a modern ambergris/salty/fresh scent I’d probably reach for Creed’s MI.
Nighty nite, nitesurf.

I died and landed on a daliesque beach eating sea urchins.
It’s so intoxicating and uplifting.
