sea glass is an amazing example of how the ocean can create beauty from the broken. over the years, the rough tumble of the waves and abrasive sand can turn unwanted shards of glass litter into beautiful works of art.
i love sea glass because it reminds me that no matter how overwhelming the difficult patches in life can be, we can always cling to the hope that even the worst adversity can be used to refine our character to a level we can never imagine.
just like its namesake (though not its description), «Sea Glass» by Sucreabeille is a perfume that is unafraid to meet towering waves head-on in all their rough saltiness.
official notes: juicy mango, ripe yuzu, whipped coconut cream, sea moss, pure honey from the comb, Tahitian vanilla, salty spray.
«Sea Glass» is a deceptively fun summer beach cocktail in the bottle. the sweet tropical citrus shines through with a bright vanilla-honey combination (albeit muted somewhat by the complementary creaminess of the coconut).
but don't be fooled by those first impressions - on application, the salt and moss emerge and crash over the tropical fruits in a powerful wave, revealing the untamable sea beneath.
within a couple hours of wear, the fruits have all but faded. the barest hint of vanilla softens the salt and seamoss that remain, and the end result is a subtly contemplative, reflective scent that evokes memories of walking barefoot along the shoreline.
5/10 a nice realistic beach scent that i enjoy wearing in summer, though the particular moods that make me reach for this one are few and far between. i foresee that my full-size will definitely last me for a while!
