I tried it out today and disliked it from start to finish. I’m not saying it’s a bad fragrance, just that it’s not to my taste. The combination of coconut and lemon gave me nausea. What’s curious is that the same coconut and lemon combo in Creed Virgin Island Water absolutely fascinates me. Weird, right? Nice bottle and pretty name, but that’s about it.
Maison Martin Margiela… ‘Beach Walk’… Mmm, this sounds like a luxury stroll through paradisiacal beaches… If that was the idea, the result is a disaster. With the chosen notes, while beaches around the world differ, I don’t think these choices were right. It feels more like a mishmash where anything could go wrong: spices, citrus, florals, fruity, woody, balsamic, and musk. It’s like a representation of olfactory families having a neighborhood reunion. To be honest, the uncertainty makes me doubt trying to imagine what this chaotic mix will smell like. So, there’s no choice: I’m spraying it on. (Or rather, a good douse, even though I only got a half-spray). PUMM, musk right in the middle of my face, despite being listed as a base note. Musk with lemon… Ugh, this doesn’t look good. The pepper finishes it off with a warm touch, turning it into a body odor, nothing sensual. I’m already scrunching my nose because it’s not what I expected; it’s quite more unpleasant than I could have imagined. After half an hour, the ylang-ylang adds heaviness to an already loaded scent. I can’t smell any coconut, and the florals are just floating around without syncing with the rest. I’ve been tolerating, literally, this scent for two hours… Just for the sake of science, maybe it’ll click and everything will fit, but no, it’s getting worse with every passing moment. It’s becoming heavier and I can’t take it anymore. It’s over, I’m washing it off. (Smiling triumphantly at my initiative to end the olfactory torture). AHHHHHHMIGOS, here are the 100€ that the joke is worth; it won’t come off with water and soap. At this point, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry; to be honest, it cost me quite a bit to test it, and I’m sorry to say, I can’t give it another chance after the ‘body funk’ it left on me. That said, five hours later and after a good soak, I can still smell it, which makes me think the fixative was great, but strong foundations mean nothing if there’s nothing to hold the building up. In short, this is the ‘replica’ of a guy who put on some cream and went running along the harbor (not the beach) to get there tired, smelling of salt and fish, with a sense of heaviness and occlusion on his skin adorned by infinite drops of sweat. End of the story (or nightmare).
The word is disappointing. Beach Walk: they sell it to you as a very sensual cologne that leaves a scent of sand and beach. The bottle says ‘sunkissed salty skin’. But it doesn’t smell like the sea, the beach, or salt at all. It smells like sunscreen, specifically the kind with tiare flowers and coconut milk. I bought it without thinking twice because as soon as I read something that might smell like the sea or salt to me, I get excited. I recommend not spending 95€ on a cologne that smells like sunblock; you can buy a Victoria’s Secret body spray that smells like coconut for 20€ and get the same scent and longevity.
Like all Maison Margiela replicas, this one doesn’t deliver. It smells high-quality at first, very ethereal like the whole Replica collection, but after five minutes, it turns nasty and gets stuck on a single note—the least pleasant one. In this case, it just smells like boozy florals with citrus, and then, five more minutes later, a very weak, low-quality scent of benzoin and cedar. All fragrances from this brand are deceptive at first; I don’t recommend buying them. They’re expensive, lack character, and fade away completely by the 10-minute mark.
It starts very fresh, like lemon snow, and suddenly smells of coconut, which is what stands out the most. It has a citrus base with a salty, earthy touch, but the coconut covers everything up. For me, the big sin is that the coconut note is way too dominant. While it does bring back beach days, I wouldn’t recommend wearing it on the shore in summer, as there’s just too much coconut for the heat.
Lately, everyone seems to be chasing salty fragrances, as if they were bottles of sea breeze with salt and beach vibes. Used to be that beachy scents were tropical, with hibiscus or coconut, but this new trend wants the realistic smell of the beach: dry bushes, salt, sand, and warm water. It doesn’t hook me; it reminds me of sticky grime. I love the sea, but after a day in the car, I think about taking a cold shower to wash off that salty, dry mess, and my sunglasses covered in petrified sand. Beach Walk’s opening simulates a spring walk well, without unbearable heat, and I enjoy that hyper-realistic start. The problem is that after the initial burst, the perfume quickly reveals itself as a cheap, woody dry coconut aroma, nothing sweet or festive. It’s a shame because in between, the ylang-ylang offered a crisp sweetness that almost smelled like someone’s hydrating lotion right next to you. Heliotrope adds a powdery, vanilla-toned note, very civilized; mixed with the coconut (its water, warm and crystal clear, not literal coconut), it recreates the feeling of lounging on a sunbed out of the sun, sensing arid, salty, and brittle sweet aromas. It’s a good attempt by Maison Martin Margiela that falls short once the illusion fades and only coconut water remains.
I start just like with ‘By the Fireplace’: Do I love it? Yes. Would I wear it? Probably not. Is it incredible as a scent to the name? Undoubtedly. I’m still blown away. I almost laughed in the perfume shop thinking ‘how did they make something so realistic and pretty’. It transported me to my childhood in Costa Brava, with the smell of the sea and sunscreens. It’s a perfect translation. It provoked an indescribable experience in me. But it’s not my idea of how to perfume myself to go around smelling ‘that’ in the world. I can’t see myself in the office or at a friends’ dinner like this. A wonderful execution without practical utility, at least for me.
What a ugly scent (for me). Salty opening with citrus, but when it dries down it smells like vintage perfume, a cloying raw coconut mixed with something unpleasant. Maybe it’s the coconut note, just like in ‘Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz’. This does NOT smell like beach and sun. Every nose is a different world, but in Replica I’ve liked few: ‘Bubble Bath’, ‘Under The Lemon Tree’, ‘Lazy Sunday Morning’, ‘Sailing Day’. I’ve disliked ‘Lipstick On’, ‘Promenade In The Gardens’, ‘Flower Market’, ‘Whispers in the Library’, ‘Jazz Club’, and now ‘Beach Walk’.
I see many negative comments and I understand why, though it caught my attention. I have it in a tester, so I don’t remember the opening in the store, but with the box closed it smells like coconut and lemon. Heliotrope covers it up and the base musk is what I notice most. It smells good, but the price isn’t justified; you expect more than a sweet, tropical, milky perfume you can find cheap. It reminded me of Zara, maybe the ‘Boost my feelings’ collection. Edit: I found an H&M room spray, Wild Meadow, that smells the same.
Well, I see this fragrance has many negative reviews and I can understand why, though it personally caught my attention. I only have it dry to smell it, so I can’t describe its opening (I don’t recall it in the store), but I’ll tell you I keep it in my desk drawer while working on my laptop, and I can perceive its scent even with the drawer closed. It smells mostly of coconut and lemon; the heliotrope is quite overpowering, and the base musk note is what I perceive most in the dry down. So, it smells good, but I don’t think the price is justified because you expect more than a sweet, tropical, milky perfume, which—as other comments say—you can find thousands of for much less. By the way, it reminded me of one of Zara’s scents, and I can’t say which one; I think it was from the ‘Boost my feelings’ collection, too bad they’re no longer available to check. Edit (01/12/2021): I found an H&M home fragrance that smells exactly the same, called Wild Meadow, in case anyone is interested.
Honestly, I didn’t like it. Maybe COVID ruined my sense of smell because I don’t detect coconut, citrus, or flowers. What a pity, I was excited. I still have sprays in my decant, so I’ll give it all the chances.
A nice airport worker in Madrid gave me a mini. I don’t know much about this, but it smells exactly like SVR Sun Secure sunscreen. EXACTLY. Coconut, beach, and dry musk. I wouldn’t wear it outside of summer. I like it but wouldn’t use it; it’s a shame to spend money on it and I don’t live by the beach. I’m more of a floral person.
The smell is way too similar to sunscreen; think of that typical baberoo or Tropicania sunscreen oil—that’s what people will think you’re wearing if they smell you. If you want that aroma made into a real fragrance, try Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. It’s truly soft, balanced, and has other notes that evoke summer vacations, making the fragrance much richer and more interesting.
It smells too much like sunscreen, like Babaria or Tropicania. If you want it to smell like real perfume and not sun oil, try Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc. It’s soft, balanced, and has vacation notes that make it richer and more interesting.
The description is missing a dominant note on my skin: transluzone. It’s a calone-type molecule, but on me it smells saltier, evoking the beachy concept. The ‘solar’ or ‘cream’ vibe with ylang and coconut isn’t very prominent, though it’s there. Moderate performance. Overrated like 99% of perfumery; it’s not a bad scent, but it’s not for me.
I have the discovery set and they all smell the same to me. I like the opening, though it doesn’t last long or I don’t notice it after a while. I was surprised to put on a sweatshirt days later and still smell it; I liked it more than at first.
It doesn’t disgust me. It’s summer, yes, but the scent does transport me to the beach. The concept is quite well executed.
Well, it doesn’t disgust me; it’s true I’ll use it in summer, but its scent does transport me to the beach, so for me, the concept is quite well executed.
Going to the beach? It lacks salt and real coconut. Even eating coconut doesn’t smell this artificial; it sounds more like 90s sunscreen. In the end, it smells flat and generic. Who would go on a date smelling like sunblock? I don’t get it 😂
I love it! It will be my perfume for this summer 🥰🥰🥰
It’s a tropical white floral with a strong dominance of marine notes, especially at the start, despite them not being listed. It comes out salty, aquatic, and refreshing, then becomes creamy due to a subtle coconut note. In the dry down, it’s musky and sweet, with memories of ylang-ylang from the heart phase. It has moderate sillage and over 10 hours of longevity. It lacks the citrus aspect that keeps Bon Parfumeur’s 103 going, while 103 doesn’t have the salty notes of Beach Walk. I feel these notes reduce its versatility and box it in as a summer scent, whereas 103 is more versatile and I personally prefer it. It shares similarities with Sun di Gioia, Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc, and Juliette Has a Gun’s Vanilla Vibes. The representation of the inspiration seems accurate. Although I find them pleasant and addictive for summer, I wouldn’t buy it because it’s redundant in my collection. Good perfume. Scent 6.5/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 7/10, Value/Price 6.5/10, Packaging 8/10. Would I buy it again? I didn’t buy it.
Finally tried it and I’m glad I didn’t buy it blindly. I had high expectations and it ended up disappointing me. On my skin, it notes the coconut, but it’s very synthetic, leaning towards sunscreen, nothing like freshly cut coconut. Then a soft touch of bergamot and ylang-ylang that barely registers. The longevity and sillage were scarce; for over 90€, I expected more. It lasted 1-2 hours and the sillage was barely noticeable. It’s a bit like Soleil Blanc EdP by Tom Ford, but the Tom Ford version has more sillage and highlights the coconut and white floral notes more.
Pleasant, but nothing more. Smells like coconut sunscreen. I wouldn’t use it.
I don’t detect any sweetness or coconut; to me, it smells like baby powder and ends with sunscreen, nothing overly sweet. I liked it because it’s light, but I’m not sure if I’d buy a full bottle given the price versus what it offers.
I used Alien Goddess and liked it, though it was strong. I stopped using it and now I don’t quite like it anymore. When I smelled Beach Walk, it was like smelling Alien again: strong, reminds a lot of sunscreen… which, for my taste, is not pleasant; it makes me dizzy and gives me a headache. Still, it doesn’t smell bad, but it feels overwhelming to me. I associate it with winter because of its potency, so it’s out for the beach; it doesn’t transport me.
To the point: Did you love the discontinued Sun di Gioia? Do you like Soleil Blanc but it’s too expensive and doesn’t last? Then Beach Walk is an excellent option at a moderate price. If you have all three, you’ll have the same perfume in different bottles. They’re 99% identical. Hope this helps.
If I had read the notes first, I wouldn’t have bought it. I rarely like pink pepper or ylang-ylang. But I fell in love. Over time, it develops a soapy scent 😍. It’s not a unique aroma, but it’s beautiful for any occasion.
I ordered it without reading anything; I’m a fan of the sun and the sea. If you like the smell of the beach, you’ll love it. It does smell like sunscreen, but the high-end kind the fashionable mom wears. I feel it’s missing a real marine touch, though maybe that’s just my perception; it fades quickly amidst a rich blend of bergamot, ylang-ylang, and coconut milk. Note: it’s real coconut milk, not artificial. I loved it, but I wouldn’t use it daily; it’s special for sunny days or when with loved ones. If you like sweet citrus, this is your perfume :3
I ordered it without reading the reviews first; I consider myself a die-hard fan of the sun and the sea. If you’re like me and love the ‘scent of the beach,’ you’ll absolutely love this scent. It’s true it has a certain resemblance to sunscreen, but a high-end sunscreen that only a fashion mom would put on her face. I feel like the notes mentioned here are missing a marine touch; I don’t know if I’m biased or if my perception of feeling a salty water note in the first spray is real, but it dissipates very quickly amidst a rich mix of bergamot, ylang-ylang, and coconut milk. I want to emphasize that the coconut is COCONUT MILK, not artificial coconut. So yes, I loved it; I wouldn’t use it daily as it’s a very special scent for being under the sun or surrounded by special people. If you like smelling sweet citrus, this is your fragrance :3
Sounds like sunscreen, no doubt. A bit one-dimensional. I tried it in the discovery set and it was one of the simplest fragrances I’ve ever had.
I love this fragrance, but it’s very weak. If it lasted a bit longer, it would be my summer favorite. Delicious, with a bit of coconut, some vanilla, very skin-scented, as if you’d been at a beach club and the piña colada smell got stuck in your hair. Important to know it’s a fragrance for personal enjoyment, with minimal sillage and longevity.
It smells great; I disagree with those who say it smells like sunscreen. It’s a delicious, fresh, and slightly sweet scent, but very little so. If I were a woman, it would be my signature. It’s for a woman 25 and up, cheerful surfer type, with that beach look, messy hair, and salty, but sexy.
It’s a sexy, creamy summer perfume that reminds me of 90s sunscreens. On my skin, it smells more like white flowers than coconut, which is a bit disappointing since I was looking for that note. Everyone will like it, but it’s a common profile I wouldn’t add to my collection.
Slightly acidic and very fresh opening, delicious! It quickly gains body and feels lactonic and floral. It’s very feminine, but not like those youthful floral fragrances; I feel it’s delicate, slightly sweet, with a mature touch (I think the cedar in the base adds that). I agree with the main chords: the floral isn’t as intense as in others with ylang-ylang; it’s soft. The lactonic note resonates a lot, giving it a creamy tone. It doesn’t smell like synthetic coconut sunscreen at all; the coconut feels like fruit. I really like the softness and the talc-like, musky note that wraps it all. Definitely worth trying on skin, even as a sample.
In short: a creamy, dense, slightly floral perfume that adds maturity (but not boredom) with lots of coconut, like a fine cream. It’s a heavy scent due to its density, but I love it because since I was a little girl, I wanted to smell like sunscreen, and this delivers. It gives me vibes of Mancera’s Coco Vanille and Dolce Garden, but it doesn’t smell the same.
Not much to say about this perfume… it’s nothing new. Two important points: 1) it smells quite salty to my nose, even though it’s not listed, and 2) the opening is a bit sharp, cleaner and soapy rather than creamy. It reminds me of others, especially Juliette Has a Gun’s Vanilla Vibes. It’s unisex, though more feminine, and very summery. The performance is acceptable. It’s not a bad perfume, but for me, it was an olfactory experience I could do without. A bit tired of this DNA; almost all of them are the same.
At first, it smells of vanilla musk, with a slightly acidic citrus opening that I’m not a fan of. Then it shifts to a sweet, milky musk from the coconut, becoming sweeter. Altogether, it evokes a rich sunscreen, but not the common kind, with a different nuance. I like wearing it even though it’s marketed for women; it works great for me in the heat because it’s not ostentatious. The projection and longevity are good; it lasts most of the day, which surprised me. If you’re looking for something like this, it’s a good option.
It delivers 100% on its promise: it smells like sunscreen with floral touches. It smells rich and is easy to please. The only thing is that, aside from the beach, I don’t know in what other context I’d wear it, because I don’t want to smell like sunscreen outside the house. Nothing weird, but curious.
Vacations in a bottle. The opening is tropical, with coconut that transports you to the beach. It blends with flowers, dominated by ylang-ylang, creamy and sensual. Compared to Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc, this one is more relaxed and carefree. Having both could be redundant due to that sunny vibe, though each has its own character. Yes, it smells like sunscreen, and if you spend too much time at the beach, it can get tiring. But then clean, woody notes emerge to balance it out and make it more versatile. It’s unisex, informal, and perfect for summer. It doesn’t aim to be sophisticated, just fresh and laid-back. My rating: 8.5/10. Delicious and evocative, though it loses novelty if overused.
It feels more like a women’s perfume than a unisex one. It’s sweet, refined, and sexy, but at $180, it should last longer to be worth it. On my skin, it lasts about 3 hours, which is very little.
