Unit price per

A realistic interpretation of water ride staples like Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park and Splash Mountain. For years, perfume and theme park enthusiasts alike have searched for fragrances that accidentally smell similar to water rides. For the first time ever, the intoxicating, moody scent has been intentionally captured. Xyrena’s Dark Ride features the familiar note of chlorinated (or bromine-treated) water, a thrilling accord of theatrical fog and pyrotechnics, and a hint of atmospheric mildew and damp ozone to create the first thrill ride in a bottle.

I like the scent

I really like this scent. It has a few notes that I have always found appealing. First, I feel like there is a hint of la leather smell. The second is ozone. It has other notes that complete the package. I would definitely buy this again. I am curious about their other scents.

Accurate

100% smells like the real deal. We are using it in a diffuser for our Halloween party and so far it's been a big hit. Great work.

Brought me back to my magical time!!!

Okay, so as I cried on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride last year; I sniffled aloud that I wish I could find a smell like the cannons and bromine combined. My parents found the Dark Ride for me, and it was one of my Christmas gifts! I ADORE the sniff, it is the Pirates of the Caribbean ride hands down. Some people think you smell like an electrical fire or that something is burning with chlorine; but to me this is magic. Thank you for recreating the memory via smell to some of my most blissful experiences as a child and adult.

THINK I FINALLY FOUND IT

Would give this five stars but I think my view of how this smells has been tainted a little now by both my mom thinking it smells bad and someone saying they thought it smelled like mosquito repellant.. :/ But before any of those people's thoughts affected me, I swear as soon as I sprayed this on the card it came with I immediately smelt the water smell from the water rides at Disneyland and other parks and was like "oh my god, it does smell like it". And still when I smell it, I do think it really smells like the water scent on those rides. Specifically it makes me think of Pirates of the Caribbean the most (which is what I was looking for!), like right when you get in your boat and smell that strong water scent cause your boat is soaked from the last people who rode the ride. I could almost imagine I'm there on the ride with that distinct water smell of the Disney water rides. Like just watch a ride video of it or a video of Pirates the Caribbean queue ambience while smelling this and it'd probably make me feel like I'm there lol or get me excited to go to Disneyland again and ride it. ☺️
And when I go again and go on those rides, I'll have to really compare their water scent to the smell of this fragrance. Since I'm of course going off of memory of the smell all the times I've been on those rides. My mom acts like it smells really bad but it's weird, because she loves the Pirates ride and to me it does smell very similar to the water on that ride. She thinks people would be grossed out if I sprayed it on myself and went out somewhere, but I probably would not ever wear this out...I got it mostly to just have something that smells like the water ride smell. As something cool to have. I think she doesn't understand the concept that it's just supposed to smell like the ride. I wasn't planning on spraying it all over me even if it's perfume. And if you do spray any on yourself, you shouldn't spray too much because it is a very strong scent. And I think that's why some people think it smells bad cause that scent is so concentrated here. As soon as I open the bottle now, the scent hits my nose so fast. I saw someone's review before grossed out saying they didn't want to smell like chlorine.. well if it smells like that to you, it's doing its job. Lol It's supposed to smell like the water on those rides. Guess they didn't know it's supposed to smell like that, even though they say it's actually bromine they use in the water, not chlorine. With this fragrance, people will either kind of like it like me because it smells like the water rides to us and that's what we got it for, or they'll hate it and think it smells awful thinking it smells like something else. I guess it depends on the person.. ? The scent is so strong at first though that when you do spray it on something you should rub it in some and after a few minutes it won't be as strong smelling. I think people are grossed out mostly by the initial scent when you spray it, how strong it is. It smells good when you spray it on the card they give you, on the "spray me" spot and it fades some. Then it might make you think more of the water smell when it's not as strong as it is at first, where someone could be thinking it smells like insect repellant.. that's just my opinion at least. I also do like it combined with Cosmic Woods too. It smells good even though it's hard to say what that combination makes me think of. Overall I think this smells probably as close as you could get to smelling like the water scent, unless I find something that I think smells more like it. But to me it does smell a lot like it, like if you just scooped up some of the water from the ride and took it home. So I like it because it reminds me a lot of Pirates of the Caribbean and a little Splash Mountain, even though it's disappointing when my mom smells it that she doesn't like it. I've been looking for a long time for something that smells like the water scent from those rides and I haven't been able to find anything until now. To me it's like I have a piece of the ride I brought home. I can spray it when I want, smell it and think of Pirates and other great memories and experiences in Disneyland and other parks. I display it now with the rest of my Disneyland/theme park souvenirs and Disney stuff. ☺️ ❤ Wow, this is a long review. lol

DOES IT SMELL LIKE A DARK RIDE?

You either love or hate this one.
I love it for the idea and for the great excecution but some will find it repulsive and will say that it smells like being and a dentist so be aware of that.
But yes, It really does smell like a Dark Ride and that's awesome!
You will get all the typical smells that you love about them and if you think it's lacking something, combine it with cosmic woods and it will be perfect.
For me both Dark Ride and Cosmic Woods have some awesome fragrance notes but lack a little something here and there so I always combine them.
