Sail Acqua di Portofino

My nose is a capricious lover. First, it smells a fragrance and lets me know "this is good, you can buy it," and the next day it picks up something in its surroundings that ruins any further contact with the perfume.

This time it was Sail by Acqua di Portofino. Well, I must mention that it didn't knock me off my feet during the first test either, but I was looking for a dirty aquatic scent. Rough sea in a bottle, so to speak, because there are also those for boats. And what you se(a) is what you get.
Compared to others in the aquatic category, this one is, in my opinion, more synthetic and less long-lasting, but also one of the more affordable representatives.
Now, onto the second test. Summer was coming to an end, and I wanted to seize the moment to finally find my scent. I should preface this by saying that I had been at the dentist the morning before, as I had been dealing with an inflammation for weeks. Sail was supposed to make me forget that. Supposed to.

You think so.

I sprayed it on, and suddenly I find myself back at the dentist's office.
The opening is now immediately linked to a doctor's practice for me; something in it seems to create these parallels that had previously escaped me. I suspect it's the eucalyptus. At least that's what I smell. Koala food in formaldehyde. It's not so bad that I need to be referred to an ENT specialist right away, but there are certainly more pleasant interpretations. This note lingers for one or two hours until it makes the transition to something that actually smells quite nice. Then I smell exclusively herbal, salty seawater. Unfortunately, it's so close to the skin that it's not worth the dentist visit.
I consciously do not make any recommendations here, as everyone should have their own experiences, but if there are any dentists among us who have always wanted to merge with their practice, at least for a few hours, then this is your scent!
