I’d purchased this to take on my summer holiday later on this year, but I got so excited about it; I couldn’t wait to start using it, and just had to share it with you. I’ve blogged about the Replica Funfair Evening fragrance before, and if you read that post then you’ll understand how much I adore this fragrance house. Beach Walk made me fall in love even more.
This is one of those can’t-stop-sniffing-your-hand scents, I sprayed it again to inspire my writing of this post, and that’s exactly what I can’t stop doing again right this second. Now I always put a disclaimer on these fragrances, that they really do work with your body chemistry – so I’d always recommend trying them on yourself first, especially when making such an expensive investment; but as I always say, that’s the sign of a really good fragrance.
Beach Walk has notes of coconut, bergamot, lemon, pink pepper and ylang ylang. Now without wanting to sound ridiculous, I don’t pick up many of those notes – not in a bad way – it’s just that if I read that, for me personally it wouldn’t make me want to try it out. Coconut, yes. This is predominantly a coconut fragrance, and as coconut is my favourite scent ever, that works for me. It’s a creamy coconut, I’d say, that then dries down and brings through salty and very gentle floral notes that compliment the top coconut note beautifully. As with all the Replica fragrances, it’s very unique.
I think we can all gather by the name that it’s meant to replicate a beach walk (duh), and I get that – but what it really replicates for me, is those holiday evenings when the sun is just starting to go down and the heat and ocean salt is beginning to dry on your skin; you’re just about to retreat back to your room to take a shower and get ready for a gorgeous, warm summery evening – that’s what this imitates for me, and that in turn makes me feel extremely contented and excited. Oh can I go on holiday yet?!
