Pros & Cons
- ✅ Pleasantly surprised by this brand and fragrance in particular! Harks back to vacation evenings doused in Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, albeit more sparkling and ethereal in its quality, which makes it less cliché. I get coconut and vanilla in the opening, and the sweetness pervades throughout the wear, except the floral-musks embolden in the dry-down with that ‘cool girl’ appeal that feels very relevant and now.
- ✅ A simple but beautifully crafted beachy floral. Salty, coconutty, refreshing.
- ✅ This smells like having a romantic dinner with your lover as the sun sets on the beach front and leaves the sky in shades of purple and orange. Dramatic sure, but accurate. A gorgeous interpretation of the typical beachy white floral scent profile but elevated in a salty and warmly sweet way.
- ❌ I wish it lasted longer.
- ❌ While Golden Muse is a lovely take on a beachy perfume, I wish it had a little more oomph; this is unfortunately kind of weak and sits close to the skin.
- ❌ Showgirl is hands down the better fragrance of the 2 new offerings from this house. Golden Muse, for what it is, is just a 'like' for me. Its definitely a salty, suntan, coconut beach vibe. At this point, I've realized this scent profile alone just isn't my jam.
