Playalinda

Title: Playalinda Eau de Parfum

Tagline: A perfume about memory.

Standout Review: “One of the h*rniest perfumes on my shelf.” — @unrealities, via Parfumo

Tiny Intro: Nostalgic Peach on the Beach.

Story Blurb: Sensual, fuzzy peach meets the salt, sand, and slick warmth of a decidedly erotic day spent by the sea.

Scent Notes: Solar Notes, Basil, Sand, Dirty Hair, Salt, Sweat, Ambrette Seed, Sun-Warmed Peach, Smoked Seashells (Choya Nakh), The Taste of Copper, Suntanned Skin, Atlantic Seaweed, Osmanthus, Oakmoss

Feeling / Mood: Sensual & Nostalgic. Like dazed & sun-drenched memories of the first person you ever told was the love of your life.

Projection / Wear Style: Unisex. Intimate yet radiant. Ideal for hot weather, skin contact, and long nights. Above-average sillage with an extended, slow-burn fade. Radiates from the skin like warmth after sunbathing, and you will definitely not go unnoticed on public transit. But they’ll be the ones blushing.

Customer Reviews:

“It’s very good, and just shows the effort that goes into an Indy perfume to create real art, that has a truly personal narrative. You don’t need to be told that it’s deeply personal, you can smell it.” — Houdini4, via Fragrantica

“I’m barreling through [Playalinda] this year … It is all of our senses alive.” — Felicity Walton, Co-host, Les Oderants Podcast, via Instagram

“This fragrance has a transient quality. It’s got soft spots, while the edges are extremely luminous … There’s a lot of fresh air flowing right through this fragrance, and built right into it. It’s almost as if Carter has caught … breezes performing a vanishing act. And that’s not because this is weak on performance. Instead, it’s actually part of its magic.” — TJ Norris, via Notetaking

“There is an undeniable sensuality to Playalinda. It is fruity while equally indolic and musky. Its complexity and balance keep the scent playful and hard to pin down … I hadn’t expected to fall for this fragrance, and yet here I am waiting for a full bottle in the mail. Perfume is so much more fun when it surprises me.” — @smellsbells1312, via Fragrantica

“The arthouse version of sexy summer and beach excess. Wait?! Is this actually the scent of the scene in Call Me By Your Name where Timothee Chalamet fucks a peach? Omg.” — Billie Stimpson, via Pink Manor Decant Club

“… exquisite … I have been derailed by [Playalinda…] I adore when a fragrance acts like this … For me it is nostalgia—the pain of it, the memory of optimism and disappointment … it’s so delightful and strange but also because it feels like real exquisite sadness.” — @sophiecaller, via Fragrantica
