POOL BOY

POOL BOY

from $142.00

NEW BATCH/VERSION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN AUGUST
But unfortunately it will probably sell out quickly.
If the new version is a success, the next batch after that won’t take nearly as long. Currently still trying to compose a replacer for a major component that’s no longer available.

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.

Featured in this article on Fragrantica. Setting the trend in indie perfumery. Say hello to my little friend.

Update 4/25: Making good progress on figuring out how to replace the one material that’s been discontinued by the manufacturer. This next batch will be different, inevitably, but shouldn’t be too much different and, with any luck, might even be an improvement. Still on track for August release, in double the size of the previous batch - which, unfortunately won’t be enough for everyone.

Update 3/24: The March release, 100 bottles, sold out in under a minute. Apologies to anyone who wasn’t able to get one, this was beyond our control.

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.
