South Bay

by Émilie Coppermann

The Different Company South Bay is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Émilie Coppermann. South Bay opens with Tamarind, Petitgrain, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose Hip, Woody, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Suede, Vetiver, and Sandalwood. The Different Company's South Bay carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a grapefruit paradox: a sparkling, natural citrus that vanishes far too quickly, leaving you wanting more. A fleeting summer dream with an asking price that's hard to justify for its vanishing act.

Its fresh and clean citrus profile makes it ideal for casual wear and the office, as its weak longevity and projection ensure it won't offend. However, its poor performance limits its suitability for occasions requiring longer lasting impressions like formal events or dates.

About

South Bay kicks off with a vibrant, true-to-life grapefruit, tart and zingy, soon joined by the slightly green, earthy touch of petitgrain and a unique tamarind sweetness. As the initial citrus burst mellows, a delicate floral heart emerges with rose hip and freesia, gently warmed by a subtle, creamy suede. The dry down settles into a clean vetiver and soft sandalwood, providing a woody backbone that's elegant but understated.
