Community take

Consider buying if you want a refreshing summer scent, but manage expectations on longevity.

Blue Waves & Citrus is described as a fresh and uplifting fragrance that combines citrus notes with a marine vibe. Users often mention the prominent pomelo and lime, giving it a bright, zesty character, while the driftwood and sea salt add a unique coastal touch. This scent is generally favored for casual wear during warm weather, especially in summer or at the beach. However, some users find it lacking in longevity and depth, with no distinct heart or base notes to anchor the fragrance.
