Yemaya

I always love how accurate Nui Cobalt's note lists are. With most perfume oil companies, I can't smell most of their listed notes and can't get an idea of what their blends will smell like before ordering. This is exactly as described - sliced watermelon and pound cake, topped with whipped cream and freshly shaved coconut, next to a fresh and non-soapy aquatic note. Fresh, but sweet, and feels light and fluffy for a perfect summer gourmand scent. I want to eat it.
