LoveShackFancy Fragrance: Your Summer Beach Scent

My fellow ’90s babies, do you remember the Cali Girl Barbie that was scented? I have a vivid memory of huffing her beachy, coconut scent while playing with her in the pool as a child, and I’ve been chasing that high for years—until I recently found it again. LoveshackFancy, curator of coastal princess vibes, released a new scent at the onset of summer, and it makes me smell like an elevated beach Barbie.

LoveShackFancy Love on the Beach Eau de Parfum ($125) has undoubtedly been the scent of my summer so far. The solar scent with notes of frangipani, coconut and salt water perfectly encapsulate this season I’m spending living by the ocean and enjoying my engagement. Even if that’s not where you’re at in life, this fragrance will transport you to your own summer of love. Wear this to a beach bar and just see what happens. I’m predicting flirtatious compliments abound. I’m imagining this is essentially what Charlotte smelled like at the beach party in the Hamptons in Sex and the City.

The salt water and skin musks are meant to amplify your natural scent, making it an undeniably sexy scent evoking the sensation of salty, sun-dried skin on skin. It’s also tropical but not in a cheesy way, which is too often the case. Sandalwood, ambrox, ylang-ylang and gardenia help balance a creamy, woody warmth with a cool, beach vibe.

I’d be remiss not to mention the gorgeous bottle. The sculptural oversized bow, ombré sunset colors, elegant antique-inspired shape and iconic LoveShackFancy Ikat Rose print make it a piece of art all its own. Pro tip: Once you finish the perfume, you can pop the top off and upcycle the bottle into a bud vase.
