Ashore is a hyper clean, softly fruity jasmine mixed with what the industry has decided to call a solar accord (slightly ozonic, bright, fresh, white aldehydes), and a smidge of cardamom, over a base of frankincense, cetalox, Iso E Super, and what reads as casherman (I'm getting that dry pebble/concrete accord). Ashore projects as a very clean, jasmine and solar forward scent at a high pitch for several hours and then dies away leaving the base of the aforementioned components. Overall it's a shear, crisp jasmine with a dry pebble base some might interpret as sand. This mineral note in the base is interesting and on my skin fairly pronounced. Ashore is fresh, polished and summery, and left me with the impression of blinding light, as if you're looking at the reflection of midday sun on water. There is no discernable sweetness or creaminess here, so look elsewhere if that's what you seek.
Smelling it at the site where you've sprayed it is not what you want to do, it smells much better in the air than on the skin. This is really lovely if smelled in sillage or at a distance, the scent that floats around you is truly beguiling. On the skin, it's intensely ozonic, sharp and almost peppery to the point where it becomes almost nose piercing, and borderline headache inducing for me. I experienced notable olfactory fatigue wearing it, so I would recommend spraying this lower on your body to get the best effect for personal perception. If I smelled this on a passing stranger, it would absolutely turn my head.
