Cáscara de sandía salada (Acorde)

I was skeptical about watermelon in a perfume, but the crisp, watery rind note is surprisingly realistic and refreshing. It’s light enough for everyday wear but lasts a solid few hours on my skin.

I was skeptical about a watermelon rind scent but this accord won me over in seconds. It opens crisp and watery with that faint salty edge, and it stays interesting for hours instead of turning sweet. Genuinely unlike anything else in my collection.

The salted rind note is sharp and green at first spray, then settles into something almost savory on my skin. I wore it on a humid afternoon and it stayed crisp without turning sweet or soapy like most melon scents do.
