A Calone/Tiare Hammer
Calone and Tiare start as a strong duet in the top note. It vaguely, almost abstractly, reminds one of the beach, sunscreen, and sea breeze: distinctly piercing aquatic and slightly creamy floral musty.
This top note lasts a long time for me and remains present throughout the entire fragrance progression. Later, slightly spicy nuances try to announce their presence but unfortunately get lost in the top note. Only the base flatters me again with soft warm, subtly sweet woody notes. Overall, I find the fragrance thematically misplaced. I would associate something different with "Mediterranée." One must endure or like the strong opening that almost overshadows everything else. Longevity for me is about 4-5 hours with moderate sillage. On clothing, it lasts 12+ hours and is thus significantly more enduring. The bottle is, like all others in the line, very beautifully designed.
