Beach Towel — Blooddrop’s sunny mood
Beach Towel Perfume Oil by Blooddrop is an unusual unisex fragrance released in 2014.
Its name immediately sets the mood: a warm beach day, sun-kissed skin, a vibrant cocktail and the sweetish scent of sunscreen.
This is an oil perfume with a distinctive character and a very powerful sillage.
The composition is built around three contrasting images — coconut, suntan lotion and the Venetian Spritz cocktail.
Together, they create a gourmand scent with fruity and drink-like nuances. Rather than a strict aquatic perfume, it feels like a fantasy of a carefree holiday, where sunny sweetness meets the cool freshness of an aperitif.
The fragrance’s pyramid and character
The Beach Towel note pyramid is not divided into traditional top, middle and base accords: all the listed notes belong to a blended composition.
As a result, the fragrance unfolds as a cohesive accord in which coconut softness, a creamy sunny nuance and the sparkling bitterness of a Venetian Spritz sound simultaneously.
On the skin, Beach Towel creates a noticeable, almost tangible cloud.
Coconut makes the scent rounded and soft, suntan lotion adds a retro beach-cosmetics nuance, while the cocktail accord brings a playful, grown-up freshness.
The result is a memorable perfume with a vivid personality, designed for those who love unconventional gourmand compositions.
Who will enjoy Beach Towel
The fragrance is presented as unisex and is not tied to any particular gender.
It will appeal to fans of coconut, fruity and gourmand fragrances, as well as those looking for a holiday-inspired perfume without limiting themselves to familiar marine or citrus formulas.
Because of its very powerful sillage, Beach Towel is especially suitable for the outdoors, walks, travel and summer parties.
In hot weather, the oil perfume should be applied sparingly to preserve its beautiful development and avoid overwhelming the surroundings.
The database does not specify exact recommendations for the amount to apply to skin or clothing, so it is best to start with a minimal dose and add more if necessary.
The perfumer and the brand’s style
Beach Towel was created by Astrid Favro-Hild Weinstock, founder and perfumer of Blooddrop.
Founded in the United States in 2006, the brand builds its aesthetic around a world woven from imagination, translating its creator’s artistic vision into perfume compositions.
Beach Towel captures this creative DNA well: it is not a literal replica of the smell of a beach towel, but an imaginative perfume story.
It combines familiar summer associations into a bold, emotional and slightly theatrical image, standing out from more predictable sunny fragrances.
