What a gem! It has everything: original, unique, great longevity, and people love it. The best part is that it’s true niche: hard to find, handmade by Daniel, and you can tell. Nowadays, anything that smells like bleach on the street is called ‘niche,’ but this is genuinely artisanal. It smells like ripe, sweet yellow melon with something elegant and green, sometimes earthy, over an aquatic base with an amber touch that blends seamlessly with the melon. It’s absolutely stunning, bravo Daniel! 👏🏻

The best perfume I’ve ever smelled. I’ve tried many: designers, Arab fragrances, niche. This one is addictive and exquisite. UNIQUE! If you can get your hands on it, don’t think twice, it’s a safe purchase.

I tried this fragrance and it reminded me of Pucon Candy by Cristian Brinck, only AW is more summery, light, and aquatic, where the melon takes center stage. If you don’t like melon, stay away. I loved it, but I see it as a daytime, casual, summer scent. Pucon would be the winter version, and on my skin it lasts twice as long as AW, which barely lasts 3 hours (typical for my skin). I love the scent, but it doesn’t last long enough to justify the price-to-quality ratio, so I’m not sure if I’d buy it.

I discovered Amongst Waves with their discovery set, and all their perfumes are well-made; this is my favorite. Very fruity with an aquatic backdrop that evokes the beach, plus a subtle woody base, making it a delightful and relaxing aroma. The notes of melon, apple, and sea are very prominent, along with a rougher edge that must be iris or vanilla. It vibes similarly to Carolina Herrera’s Chic for Men or Goldfield and Banks’ Pacific Rock Moss, without being close to either, just as an archetypal reference (fruity, aquatic, sweet, and summery). In short, it’s worth exploring the fragrance and the brand. Totally summery, but would work well in temperate climates too, definitely unisex, with good performance for hot weather. Rating: 8.5/10

I think they could have named it ‘Amongst the Jungle’ instead; it’s much fruitier than aquatic, even lactic, which reminded me of Nasomatto’s Fantomas in 5 seconds. The melon dominates from the opening to the dry down, where other fruits become perceptible (I swear it’s banana or watermelon) accompanied by a green sensation (pachuli). A bit powdery (iris) like Nasomatto. Performance is moderate; I like it but I don’t love it. 7/10
