North Bondi OUAI: Quiet and Ultra Clean

North Bondi by OUAI
Chypre Floral

OUAI is a beauty brand founded by celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin. The brand is known for its haircare products, but it has also expanded into other beauty categories, including fragrances. They released five clean perfumes featuring their most popular scents we know from hair and body care lines : North Bondi, Melrose Place, Dean Street, Rue St Honore and Mercer Street. The fragrances are inspired by the super iconic places around the world.

I have spent a year in Sydney, Australia so the first scent I had to pick up was North Bondi. It is a clean fresh scent with florals and citrus. I especially like the bottles design – classy clean lines with a dope magnetic cap. It is the type of scent you spray when you go to work or before bedtime. Your second skin.

Does it remind me of Bondi beach in New South Wales, Australia? Not at all actually. It has lemon, apple blossom, rose and musk. I would expect something more tropical to represent Sydney but it is a nice blend. I will definitely keep it and spray it to run errands, hanging out with kids etcetera. I want to explore more OUAI perfumes. I appreciate their unassuming easy going nature.
