Shay & Blue London Mermaid Kisses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Julie Massé. Mermaid Kisses opens with Melon, settles into a heart of Water Lily, and dries down to a base of Apple and Pear. Shay & Blue London's Mermaid Kisses carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive doesn't even cut it. This is a notorious scrubber, universally panned for its artificiality and unpleasant scent profile. If burnt plastic and bleach are your thing, crack on. Otherwise, give it a wide berth.

About

Imagine a watery, artificial blast of synthetic fruit hitting you right between the eyes. It's meant to evoke melon and apple, with a hint of delicate water lily in the background, but what you get is more akin to cheap shampoo or, worse, something vaguely burnt and plastic-like. The aquatic and fresh accords are overshadowed by a cloying, almost chemical sweetness.
