What do reviewers say about Malibu - Party in the Bay and Gorse?
Smells like the moment the beach clears out and the real party starts. The lime keeps it from being too sweet, the rum keeps it from being too beachy. Works harder than expected.Malibu - Party in the Bay
Most citrus fragrances play it safe. Gorse leans into something stranger, the actual botanical, furze, not just 'green notes.' Coconut, but not in a tropical-drink way. More the memory of it.Gorse
