CARIBBEAN DREAM

After a few wears, I realized this one just wasn’t for me. Out of the box, it was definitely the strongest “freshie” I’ve tried from Jalu, but maybe it just needed more time to macerate, I ended up trading it for something else before that could happen.

It’s a very boozy fragrance for a fresh scent, with a strong rum note that really dominates. Working in a bottle shop, I’m constantly around coconut rums like Malibu, and this smelled almost identical. The oil concentration might be a bit too heavy here, maybe if it were an EDP instead, it would be more balanced.

Longevity was impressive, it clung to clothes for days even after washing , but the scent became cloying over time, and I found myself getting tired of the rum. The main notes I picked up were a touch of lime at the top, followed quickly by creamy coconut rum. Overall, not for me, and I wouldn’t repurchase.

Too much citrus, would’ve been nice if it had more coconut and rum notes. You can only smell the coconut in small whiffs and in the dry down. Otherwise it’s a nice summer fragrance. Tried contacting them though Instagram to change the notes but got no response.

Hey Jalu,

If I had to becompletely honest this felt like a bit of a waste and a let down. A friend of mine has a bottle of VIW that let me try some a few months ago. Awesome compliment getter. After anticipating something similar to that scent, I was greeted with something completely different. I have used it twice now and both times my boss has told me I smell like the cleaning agent used in our air conditioners. I've had to go back to finishing off my Tommy Bahama saint Barts set sail. I understand this is an internal review, and I won't be going and leaving any negative public reviews. Just a shame I'll have to get rid of it.

This is a game changer. Better than the OG 🔥🔥

I think the citrus is overpowering compared to the original, also feel as if the coconut is lacking or is lost due to the citrus being so over powering. It’s definitely stronger and projects more than the original after dry down but unfortunately not much coconut

Probably won’t buy again until this gets improved to be more coconut as that’s the reason I bought it. It’s a shame as I already have enough citrus scents
