Emerald Coast Perfume Oil - coconut, banana, peach, kiwi, pineapple, yuzu, mango, and mandarins.
 
I added  mango purely for my friend Boo because he loves mangos and lives on this beautiful coast and the mango also reminds me of the mango cheesecake we devoured in a day. This scent reminds me of being on the beach and smelling all the different fragrances of suntan lotions, oils, and just the sweetness of being at the beach. Pure summer in a bottle, the sensation of being on the beach.

All throughout my years of growing up I've had the pleasure of always having access to the beach, particularly the Gulf Coast of Florida's panhandle which is also called "The Emerald Coast". Many people will probably be thinking "Irish" when they see this and immediately assume "Emerald Isle" but no, totally different.

After having lived near, and visited the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Gulf Coast, I prefer the Gulf Coast to all others. I even prefer it to the Bahamas. It has such a rare beauty especially in the more uninhabited areas. The water is an emerald green color and one can see straight to the bottom while swimming even in 20 foot deep water. I've even had the pleasure of jumping out of a boats and swimming with dolphins and actually had one come up to me underneath the water and let me touch it. It was one of the most amazing experience, something I've always wanted to do and finally did. Several swam with me one day and it will always be something to remember for sure.

All the oceans have their own allure. I actually lived on the Atlantic and was maybe 10 feet from it, the bay, outside my bedroom window. The Pacific is fun too with it's rockiness and colder water but, there is just nothing like the warms waters of the Emerald Coast. I would encourage anyone who hasn't visited the panhandle of Florida, where the waters are a beautiful hue of green-blue, to do so. This coastline with all it's magic was the inspiration for this fragrance whether it was from visiting with friends when younger and hanging out for the day, along with all the suntan lotion scents until present day, when visiting with my own children and just taking in the luxury of a soft breeze, crystal clear water, and a beautiful sky.
