From the Brand - "Named after the Malibu beach and the year Neil Young released his album of the same name. It’s jasmine season in LA and you’re taking sunset all the way to the ocean. The greenery of the fresh spring bloom mingles with the salty ocean air. A smoky breeze wafts through the air reminiscent of burned brush. Your tanned skin burns off the sweet smell of summer sweat as you dig your toes into the grainy sand. You’re going to be here after sunset"
Fragrantica - "the cool girl beach scent. i picture riding down PCH in a convertible with the top down, wearing the biggest black sunglasses, cigarette in hand, and blasting some tom petty."
Fragrantica - "seaside breeze with an airiness and a juiciness that offers it a special quenched feeling. forward, yet comforting. it is certainly a water scent, but with such specifically scenic ambient accords that it smells like a vaguely familiar memory. beautiful."
Fragrantica - "This is the scent that I keep going back to. It’s a bottle that I have repurchased thrice now for summer. It lingers all day- truly transports you to a beach in the 1970s. To me it smells like the boardwalk / beatniks who bathe in the ocean and drink tequila sodas with lime. An awesome perspective of the era"
Fragrantica - "Zuma, 1975 by Thin Wild Mercury is inspired by the Malibu coast along this same ocean and reminds me so much of my special little piece of home. Zuma is a bright, sparkly, citrus aquatic scent with beautiful white floral and fresh spicy green notes. The addition of the vetiver and coriander makes this something so much more elevated than other citrus aquatics reminiscent of Light Blue. Its Jasmine and marine notes are iconic and easily loved. Sandalwood and ambrette really soften this scent so as it dries down it becomes a beautiful personal fragrance. As I’ve explored more fragrances I’m continually surprised by how much I end up enjoying citrus aquatics scents. Zuma is gorgeous and definitely something I can see myself purchasing as a summer scent that I could wear to my lovely walks at The Strand. "
