    What do reviewers say about La Playa and Beach Skin?

    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
    Not a beach-trip gimmick. This actually smells like warm skin after ocean air, not synthetic coconut or sunscreen. The salt note is restrained but believable, and the drydown is genuinely cozy.Beach Skin
