Garden Party by Skylar is a light, sweet, and airy fragrance centered around coconut and almond blossom, with a delicate vanilla and floral base that evokes the feeling of a springtime picnic or indulgent macaroon. It features soft accords of coconut creaminess, powdery white florals, and a subtle almond-sweet nutty core, creating a dainty, pastel-like scent that feels more like a fragrance mist or body care product than a traditional perfume. The scent is not long-lasting—most users report moderate to moderate-longevity, with a few noting up to 6 hours, though many find it fades quickly and lacks projection. It performs better when layered with other scents, such as Velvet Tonka or VS Vanilla Tropic, and is most suited to warm-day wear in spring, with the majority favoring day-time use. Overall, Garden Party presents a note of soft sophistication, avoiding the cloying sweetness often found in similar indie scents. The smell stands out as unique—airy and refreshing rather than dense or heavy. However, its formulation appears incompatible with the rollerball delivery, which some users find inefficient and irritating due to the aggressive release of scent. Many users express a desire for a full-size spray version, suggesting the scent’s true potential lies in spray form.
