ÎLE SIRÈNE Eau de Parfum Flacon de 1,5 ml

I avoided this scent because of the prominent banana note (not a fan in any way), however, this is blended so beautifully that it actually works for me. Not sure it’s full bottle worthy just yet, but I have the sample and will continue to test it. This is a unique summer scent, like most EB scents I have not smelled anything else like it. It’s light, smooth, more creamy than I expected, and like all EB scents the dry down is simply perfection.

I tried this a few months ago in a mini sample vial and was savoring it. It is a zesty refreshing lime with a sweet brown sugar dry down making it versatile enough to layer with both gourmand and citrus lotions and oils! I’ve gotten compliments and I rarely do. It’s very refreshing and the salt makes it so so summery and refreshing cocktail-esque.

I wasn’t too impressed when I first smelled this on a tester at Sephora. It reminded me of BBW’s Coconut Lime Verbena. I held off on ordering it until there was a sale, and then I purchased the travel size. Something happened after a few days of wearing, and I just could not get enough. I had to spray this every time I walked by the bottle. The initial Coconut Lime Verbena similarity fades about 30 minutes in, leaving a warm intoxicating sweet scent. About 1/2 way through the travel size I decided that I must purchase a full-size bottle. I still reach for this daily even though I have a massive perfume collection. This pairs really well with MAC Turquatic.
