Candied Honeydew
Honestly, I think that of the fragrance houses I’ve explored so far, that Gallagher Fragrances and Atelier Cologne are the kings of fruit in fragrance. This fragrance, Pearfecto, and Fineapple all stand out to me as exemplars of realistic fruits in fragrance, with this scent specifically featuring a delicious and intense honeydew melon note. I’d say that Amongst Waves is pretty genre breaking for an aquatic scent, as to me it is a gourmand aquatic. It honestly smells like what a watermelon Jolly Rancher tastes like in the best way possible, with the vanilla and patchouli featured in the fragrance really rounding out the foody-ness of it. This fragrance makes me hungry when I wear it because of the food attachment I make to it in my mind. Their is also an air of summer fun about this fragrance that I can’t get enough of, but at the same time I also wouldn’t say this is a summer exclusive scent. It’s bright and joyful, but because of the vanilla, patchouli, and some of the floral notes in here there is some heft behind it while also remaining light enough to be enjoyed in the summer. As an example, I wore this in the early spring when we still had snow melting up here and didn’t feel like the fragrance was out of place like I would have wearing something like say Pacific Lime or Orange Sanguine from Atelier Cologne or even Bergamust by Gallagher himself around the same time of year. Overall I recommend this fragrance but definitely try before you buy because if you go into it expecting a typical aquatic fragrance you won’t find what you’re looking for.
