Green Marine

Fresh marine aquatic with a melange of fizzy citruses (slight grapefruit lean), green eucalyptus and mint offer an uplifting radiance, plus a touch of fruity fig. Somewhere between "mint chewing gum" and "chlorinated swimming pool" in a sort of cleaned-up, idealized fantasy way. Woods and oakmoss hold down the base. Moderately soft projection for 2-3hr, longevity 6-8hr.

Summer staple all the way!

This fragrance may have that characteristic opening where lemon, orange and grapefruit are most prominent notes..but everything that you smell after 5-10minutes is pure magic! I was instantly hooked!
Fresh bouquet of white flowers mixed with mint and salty marine notes with ambergris, eucalyptus and fig. It also got that musky oakmossy touch to it with cedar and guaiac wood. There are also labdanum and mimosa listed in official notes.

longevity is 7 hours on my skin
sillage is enjoyable moderate

I like this fragrance because it reminds me of my summer days, salty sea breeze, fresh lemon trees and sunkissed face+paddle/surf board combo..just amazing!

Generic sweet creamy freshie, but not bad.

Personal: 7/10 - It's not bad but I find it uninteresting.
Mass appeal: 8/10 - It's a good daily fragrance but some may find the sweetness offputting
Performance: 7/10 - It lasts a bit longer than other freshies, but not quite a whole workday.
Value: 4/10 Unnecessarily expensive for a generic smelling freshie.
Uniqueness: 3/10 - It feels ununique. Similar to Le Male Lover. Creamy fresh lotion.
SCORE: 58/100

Full bottle buy? NO, does what Le Male Lover does but for more money.
Blind buy? YES, it's a fairly safe sweet freshie, but it's expensive.
Recommend? NO, particularly generic for the price.
Date night? YES, bright and fresh but sweetness may evolve weird on certain skins.
Office safe? NO, it's mostly fresh but the creamy sweetness could definitely be cloying.

Pros: Wonderful fresh lotion scent. Fresh and bright. Performs pretty well.
Cons: Expensive. Not entirely unique, kind of generic. Not memorable.

This is a sweet, creamy, but fresh fragrance. I don't enjoy the lotion-ey overtones that are present and I think if it focused more on citruses, musk and woods it would have been better. Maybe the fig plays in kind of weird, but the sweetness layers and evolves in a kind of weird and definitely a kinda offputting way. I don't think I'd really reach for this fragrance, but it's not bad by any means, so it's hard for me to rate it lower.

It's not bad but it's not amazing. Yawn.

*Review #17 in my fragrance journey - this fragrance I own as a decant*

Otto Normalconsumer defends WC stone

Some of you may already know me, I am Otto. And I like perfume. In how many comments have I already read that WC stone is used as a comparison to describe a certain kind of freshness? The kind from Klostein, of course. I wrote WC stone in the title because Klostein sounds a bit.......well, you know what I mean. But I say Klostein because where I come from, we also say Klo. But I didn’t want to talk about that now.

So who has something against Klostein? It hangs in all of our bathrooms, and not because it stinks. No, because it smells fresh, like the sea with its salty air or like a fir forest. Man, I’m getting totally sidetracked again. I actually wanted to talk about Aqua Sextius. That means in Latin, oh nonsense, it is Latin and means Aix-en-Provence, which I believe is on the
French Tuscan coast. And that’s exactly the kind of scent I bought, because Tom of Finland wasn’t for me. Now for the summer, I wanted something fresh. But before I experience another disappointment, I read quite a few comments on Parfumo.de about fresh scents. That’s where I got the Klostein reference from. Yes, and besides, I tested quite a few fragrances, Gerlaeng, Diptyque, Davidoff, and I can’t remember the others. But I told myself, Otto, even though they all smell wonderfully fresh, Aqua Sextius is the one you like best. When I smell it, I always think I’m smelling Eau de Guerlain, Philosykos, and Cool Water at the same time, honestly.

Already when spraying, a wonderful Guerlinade hits your nostrils. Well, maybe not quite as sophisticated as the real Guerlinade, but you can still smell a whole basket full of citrus notes. However, they don’t stay alone for long, because after a few minutes, this spicy-aquatic freshness creeps in, which makes you think of Klostein. But not one from the discount bin. No, a very fine one that is present throughout almost the entire scent development. At no time does it push itself to the forefront, but rather supports the respective actors.

Towards the heart note, the citrus fruits are replaced by eucalyptus and mint. This is the point where some may turn away; it’s a concentrated freshness. Just like Vigorsol chewing gum. But you only need to smell attentively and you’ll notice that the eucalyptus and mint also lie on this bed of aquatic freshness, just like the citrus fruits did before. This all sounds very spicy now, but it isn’t. Because the whole spice mixture is softened by the fig. I know that from Philosykos, where it also smells fresh and woody and, towards the end, warm and earthy.

And the beautiful thing is, Aqua Sextius hardly decreases in its intensity over hours, honestly. Just that the scent transforms. I’ll just say it goes from citrus aquatic to minty aquatic. So now comes the kicker.

In the base, the main actors can no longer stand on their own. They all support each other. Now I can’t recognize anything individually anymore; everything merges. My nose no longer filters, it just enjoys a sensation of fresh-spicy warmth. But before it gets too romantic, back to the numbers.

So Aqua Sextius isn’t cheap. I don’t remember exactly how much I paid, but once again, I had to swallow at the checkout. I had to leave far more than a hundred bucks; with that, I could have gotten a whole year’s supply of Pitralon at Woolworth. But I gladly spent it, honestly. Because in summer, I want to smell fresh. And for as long as I want to feel fresh - namely all day or almost. 2 sprays of Aqua Sextius before work and throughout the day, my nose occasionally says Ahh, because it gets such a light fresh caress.

And let’s not make any dumb jokes about Aqua SEXtius. That’s worse than saying Klostein.

D E R - Fresh Fragrance!!!

Until 4 weeks ago, I had never heard of the brand Jul et Mad, which is probably better known among women; I had to look it up online to find out who they are. I thought it was a new line from Juliette has a gun!
No... completely different brand and a whole different price range! "My" donna italiana at the discount perfume shop had introduced me to Essence of Central Park and Aqua Sixtius (according to the Jul et Mad website, the Latin name for Aix-en-Provence) right under my nose 4 weeks ago. Both are absolute hits!!!! It's simply amazing how much intuition and expertise the staff there possess.
Aqua Sixtius is the only perfume I know that withstands temperatures over 35 degrees and clings to the skin. All other fragrances are "washed away" after 60 minutes in this 6-week heat and dryness (someone should really stop complaining about the German summer; I'll personally wring their neck!). It's really high time for autumn to arrive or at least for the heat to significantly subside.
Aqua Sixtius is, for me, alongside Central Park, the fresh fragrance of 2015! The scent starts with a wonderful citrus note, bitter, fresh, slightly green, and with minimal sweetness. More like grated lemon peels a la Scaloppina al limone, with equal parts bergamot and a splash of bitter grapefruit. Almost simultaneously, maritime notes, green notes of pine needles, eucalyptus, and mint come into play. I have rarely experienced better, fresher, and more authentic notes than in this fragrance. No Salina, Acqua di Sale, Aria di mare, Mare Nostrum, etc. can compare... not even any other fragrance I know in this scent direction.
With Aqua Sixtius, the highest quality (Extrait de Parfum) and balance drip from every pore, a perfect interplay! No unchanging salt scent wall like with Profumum Roma, no salty-algal Salina, no citrus-happy Oltremare. Aqua Sixtius is absolutely independent and outstanding.
I believe there is no better fragrance in the height of summer. This scent Olympus has, of course (unfortunately), its price; 150€ for 50ml (Extrait) is reasonable, but it's still a significant statement that initially made me gulp and flinch. The so-called "Stilettos" (20ml) are available for around 90 Euros:-)!
Regarding longevity, the citrus notes lose some of their brilliance, making the fragrance appear increasingly bitter and saltier. This is a significant advantage over Aqua di Sale for me, as that one remains unchanged for hours and eventually starts to annoy me.. in direct comparison, Aqua Sixtius is significantly more elegant and refined. Simply because it has considerably more facets, as the cool, bitter oak moss and soft musk perfectly round off the fragrance to the base.
The longevity under these conditions is absolutely great (one should somehow expect that for the price); after 7 hours, it is still quite perceptible. At more moderate temperatures, it should last 8-9 hours. The sillage is quite strong in the first 2 hours, as eucalyptus and mint are simply noticeable everywhere and immediately. With this fragrance, you can breathe deeply like with an essential oil without reminding you of a sauna infusion. For me, there can only be one rating: a crystal-clear and smooth 100!!!! It is boldly and prominently on my wish list for 2016, just like Central Park, which doesn't score quite as high in longevity.
