Let’s face it – life can be a bitch as well as a beach. When tough times come along, which they inevitably will, there is nothing like a day at the beach – or if that isn’t’ possible, a breezy and sunny fragrance, to calm and refocus the mind and spirit. Sarah Horowitz Parfums Life’s a Beach feels like a soothing, protective suntan lotion for the soul that transports me to peaceful, happy times in my life, to carefree summers by the sea and the long ago laughter of friends and siblings.

When I was a girl living in Florida, summers were all about the beach – the wild, long sandy strands from Cocoa Beach down to Sebastian Inlet. Years before the condos and resorts began to clutter the landscape; the central east coast of Florida was not much more than a few small towns, isolated neighborhoods and miles of sea grapes, sand and surf. We spent our early mornings fishing for the pompanos and jacks that swam though the crests of the waves, the water back lit to a clear aqua by the rising sun. Later in the day that same sun would find us surfing near the “Shark Pit”, walking the beaches or just lazing around with friends. Summer afternoons brought rain clouds from the west, brief downpours cooling the hot sand and steaming off the coquina rocks, board walks and the concrete and asphalt of highway A1A. We would return home for dinner and then, more often than not, spend summer evenings watching the submarine races (our beach equivalent of “parking”) or better yet observing the sea turtles digging their nests. Yes, life was indeed a beach in those days, another world scented with coconut oil and the sweet smell of sand, ocean air and grassy sea oats.

Sarah Horowitz Parfums Life’s a Beach conjures these memories for me with a mesmerizing combination of colors and scents that bring my youthful experiences to life. Beginning with the cool aqua of bergamot and mint, Sarah Horowitz Parfums Life’s a Beach opens like a dawn breeze off the sea, scenting the juicy sweetness of fresh cut pineapple with salt, citrus and mint. As the sun rises, Life’s a Beach warms to a heart of golden, honeyed orange blossoms and sea salt. Hints of coconut oil and suggestions suntan lotion play off of Sarah Horowitz Thran’s “Summer Skin” accord, creating the perfect impression of radiant, sun kissed skin. Sarah Horowitz Parfums Life’s a Beach has me basking on an olfactory beach blanket for several hours before the warmth of the summer afternoon gives way to a sweet, dusky sensuality, an evening scented with the perfumer’s signature Pacific and African Musks.
