Skinny Dipping by 13Perfumes is a 2023 unisex fragrance created by a Ukrainian brand.
It is a perfume extract with a distinctive fougère-fruity character, where citrus freshness meets green, floral, mossy and woody nuances.
The name Skinny Dipping gives the composition a mood of light daring, freedom and closeness to nature.
The fragrance is bright, fresh and unconventional: it does not aim to be exclusively delicate or austere, so it develops equally naturally on both women's and men's skin.
At first, Skinny Dipping impresses with the juicy contrast of blackcurrant, grapefruit and lemon.
Rhubarb and tomato leaf add a cool, green tartness, keeping the fruity accord from becoming sweet or carefree and compote-like.
As it unfolds, the composition softens into a floral heart of magnolia and rose, while cardamom adds a subtle spicy touch.
In the drydown, oakmoss, vetiver and musk emerge, creating a dry, clean and distinctly alluring base with a natural character.
According to the available database, the fragrance has very strong sillage, so Skinny Dipping should be regarded as a noticeable perfume statement.
Even a small amount can enhance an outfit and leave a recognizable fresh-green impression.
The composition is especially suited to spring and summer, when its citrus, fruity and green facets unfold most expansively.
At the same time, oakmoss, vetiver and musk add depth, allowing the fragrance to be worn not only during the day but also in the evening.
The precise amount to apply to skin and clothing is not specified in the available data, so it is best to start with a minimal amount and assess how it develops on your own skin.
Skinny Dipping demonstrates 13Perfumes' modern approach to unisex perfumery: here, freshness is inseparable from character, while fruity notes are supported by greenery, spices and mossy woods.
This makes the fragrance appealing to those looking for an unconventional alternative to familiar citrus and fougère compositions.
For further comparison, you can consider Edgardio Chilini Strawberry Ecstasy, as well as Roja Parfums Elysium Parfum Cologne and Edgardio Chilini Lemon Sorbet.
They share with Skinny Dipping a fresh, fruity or citrusy mood, but each fragrance explores the theme in its own way.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes open with a blend of blackcurrant blossom, blackcurrant, grapefruit, lemon, rhubarb, and tomato leaf.
This opening is at once juicy, citrusy, and green, with a distinctive tartness.
The heart of the composition features cardamom, magnolia, and rose. The spicy facet of cardamom accentuates the sheer floral character and makes the development more expressive.
The base notes are oakmoss, vetiver, and musk. Together, they create a dry woody-mossy accord that preserves the fragrance’s freshness and gives it a lasting, composed finish.
