Reddit: "The first few minutes of this scent experience is decidedly pinky, floaty, and ecstatic cotton candy with a shimmer of salt. It’s lovely and gave me some flashbacks to Cardinal Scent’s Sugar Haze. It was only after I was wearing it for a while did I realize it had become…jasmine. Y’all know that I am a loud and proud jasmine hater. Generally, most jasmine scents (except Sorce’s Beautiful, But Annihilating) smell like baby wipes and public bathrooms. But this is…nice? Not overpowering? Kept in check by the salt? There’s something here that is making me once again reevaluate what I actually like/dislike in a scent. I went through my notes and found that I had a similar jasmine + ocean reckoning with Clue’s The Point. This is ultimately a floaty, dawn-colored wave of sugar and petals and though I’m not sure I’m ready to wear jasmine on the reg, I think if I did this would be it. [8/10]"
Reddit: "This is my new favorite and I love it. It’s floral, it’s sweet, it’s oceany salty. It’s beautiful. I love it so. Much and I cannot wait for them to reopen with restocks so I can buy myself a big all 30ml. I rarely 30ml I do tend towards 10s and 15mls but this is so pretty. Different enough from Dolphin Surge. This has a sweet floral note. It’s just so pretty. 11 out of 10 flowery cephalopods."
Reddit: "Yesterday I wore this and was thrilled that it’s different from my other Arcana ocean scents. This one feels very fuzzy and pastel. The ocean is calm and still, with a pink cloud of something sweet hovering just above. The seaweed and ocean elements are done a bit “safer” here, I think even for those who are hesitant of these type of scents you might find you enjoy this one. The jasmine is soft and non-indolic and absolutely my favorite part about it."
Arcana Wildcraft: "Phenomenal! My new favorite summer scent. This is sweet but the seaweed balances it out a lot. I love how marine this is but still totally wearable."
Arcana Wildcraft: "New obsession, I’ve joined the octopus lovers fan club. Salty, floral, airy vanilla. So delicious."
Arcana Wildcraft: "This fragrance is exactly as described. I love the salty brine paired with the inky notes. It smell smells clean but in a way that reminds me of being on the pier watching the sunrise and hoping to catch glimpses of whales and dolphins while listening to the waves lapse on the shore. The sweet notes play in the background so perfectly. The longer I wear it the more I fall in love."
