What do reviewers say about La Playa and Irupe?
Some won't get past the opening. The coconut milk is a litmus test, photorealistic enough to trigger genuine beach nostalgia, synthetic enough to read as plastic for others.La Playa
Irupe smells like the moment before you jump in. Not after, before. The anticipation of cool water on warm skin. The melon and gardenia give it a sweetness that stays on the right side of clean.Irupe
