First spray: salty, marine aldehydes! I’m not sure if the aldehydes are mixing with the vinyl, but the scent is very chemical/artificial on first spray. Like salty doll plastic mixed with fresh laundry mixed with bug spray (and not necessarily in a bad way). I do smell something floral beneath the aldehyde/saltwater/plastic combo, but I’m not necessarily identifying it as rose or saffron (and I’m not super keen on differentiating florals). It definitely is a little powdery too. It’s that hint of powdery-floral-laundry that gives XX±Latex a slightly more femme feel for me.
As it dries, it does get more musky—some type of spice pops out a little bit, centering it more towards a true unisex scent. The chemical sea salt does its work and carries through to the end. Pretty light-to-medium sillage and longevity overall, which I generally associate with “ozonic marines” anyway.
Overall, it’s kinda like I put on bug spray and unscented sunscreen and lounged at the beach all day and got salt stuck to my skin. I think this could be a surprise summer daytime (or perhaps night too, it has a little bit of sex appeal to it) scent to the right person. For me, the artificial smell is a little too overwhelming and gives me a bit of a headache, despite me finding it mostly fairly attractive and pleasing.
