This is a holiday in a bottle. I get coconut, fig leaf, white florals and sea spray. Everyone's skin is different, but I'm actually shocked by how long Ellis Brooklyn fragrances last on my skin - - certainly about 3x more than, for example, my Atelier colognes. I would say they last until I shower and beyond, and that is especially the case with this one and Myth. This isn't a year-round fragrance. It's hard to imagine it being used for anything other than a bit of escapism in the winter. But this is perfect for spring and summer! It's nothing ground breaking, but it's a solid addition to the beach category. It might be favoured by someone who likes their beachy fragrances without too much sugar. It smells better at a slight distance - the scent trail it leaves is sexy and cool. This is for someone who doesn't need to try too hard.
