POOL BOY

POOL BOY

from $142.00

A slack yet effervescent spring-summer fragrance, POOL BOY does what it says on the label and a little bit extra. Smells great on skin, shines in hot weather and is reportedly a unique concept and fragrance, combining fruity and floral elements with tea, woods, tobacco and animalic musk. Some describe it as a long-lasting freshie, but there’s a lot more than freshness going on.

Notes include lemon iced tea, guava, passion fruit, hyssop, lavender, iris, rose, cedar, tobacco, vetiver, treemoss and some primal musk. Pool Boy was the first of what will become semi-regular limited or “small batch” releases that may or may not be regularly available, but also won’t be discontinued unless unavailability of essential materials makes it impossible to make more.

POOL BOY has since proven so popular that it has been added to the main line. Ironically, it relies on a material that is no longer available and may prove difficult to replace - but unless it becomes wildly popular that won’t be an issue for the near future.

Update 12/24 POOL BOY has been sold out in bottles for a couple months but is still available as an option in the DISCOVERY STASH at a slightly weaker dilution (because we screwed up diluting the last of the concentrate, it wasn’t offered as bottles). The new batch has now been mixed but needs to age - bottles will be available in March. Unfortunately this has become wildly popular and still depends on a material that is no longer available.

I’ve got almost everything from the house. Mark sent me a sample of this maybe 8 or 10 months ago. I was struck by how good it is, instantly in love. Needless to say, I ordered a full bottle. In fact, now I have 3 bottles of Pool Boy.

This is Mark Sage’s masterpiece.

Think along the lines of what Jacques Cavalier is doing with Louis Vuitton these days, like Afternoon Swim, for instance…

…and Pool Boy is much better than your favorite in that line.

Pool Boy is unique because it is definitely sparkling and effervescent and summer-y, but unlike most “freshies” it’s also INTERESTING and keeps your attention, rewarding you with many facets. Most freshies are a bit boring and one-sided, but Pool Boy keeps on changing as you wear it.

There really is an ice tea to this and guava. Amazing. Not just one of my favorite summer-y perfumes, but one of my all time favorites, period, and I have a collection of 1000+ bottles.

Fragrantica review by ThrilledChilled

Did some side by side testing of [Pool Boy] with samples I have of Richard Herpin’s Precious Liquid line. It’s a really good line with several fruity-acquatic frags…But they lose to Pool Boy. Truly.. It’s so good! Blows my mind. I mean, this is the guy who practically defined a whole genre with Oud Wood.
