Aromatic Mediterranean Marine

A mmare (which in napoli dialect means at sea) is clearly an hybrid between Bleu Turquoise and Acqua di Sale.

This is quite good, a very beautiful summer perfume, very unisex, smells salty, very aquatic and aromatic, with a cucumber vibe and some very few sweetness in the bg. Reminds me of the mediterranean countrysides in summer.

The bottle is lovely too, and the price is quite good!

Coastal Love

I’ll be honest: I sampled this just because the bottle is so dang gorgeous that I wanted an excuse to add it to my collection.

Luckily for me, the juice lives up to the package: salty herbs, aquatic musk, kelp-like vegetation, and light woodiness reminiscent of driftwood. It’s a completely naturalistic herb garden on a coastal dune, and I'm in love.

That said, a quick warning: while this is stunning, wearability is a bit limited as it's so unusual and might not be friendly to inexperienced noses.

Projection and longevity are moderate — you’ll live in a little marine scent bubble for 6-8 hours.

Good, even interesting but overpriced for what it offers

So, the bottle I have is original and new. Thus, not much air had time to get in the bottle.

I recognize the smell, but I don't know from which perfume. Almost candy like.
Smells like 'the new summer perfume' smell from perfume shops.
Notes: I don't know. When I spray it on skin, the first few seconds/ minute there's a predominantly flowery smell, that fights with something dusty and in direct contrast. It reminds me of surgical gloves latex or balloons/ powdery smell (almost drug store/ pharmacy kind of mixed smell) . After the minute is gone, the latex gloves smell is strongest, and if I put my nose close to the spraying point, the flowers smell like a garden filled with field/ prairie flowers (really nice) .
Projection is around 1 meter. So OK for office.
It doesn't last too long (around 4 h on skin, without sweating on or washing the area) and I feel it's a weird way of mixing notes. Both linger the same amount, but as I said, depending on the distance, it may smell different- and it becomes a 1 Note then, 1D.
It leans feminine- heavily feminine.
Only men in their early 20' s can wear it, in my opinion.
Bottle is nice, but the cap is really plasticky (light) - although quality injection.
I let it sit, for it to 'macerate ' , and hope it becomes what people here praise it to be.

Tough call.

Update as of today May the 18th:
Not worth the money. Club de Nuit by Armaf EDT performance (silage and strength) , with a 1D Effect smell, whilst it's EDP.
When sweating, cause walking, ect. , first note flies by in a few minutes and then it stays as a faint 1D shy smell.
It's too expensive for what it is.
I adjusted my score accordingly

Money down the toilet

Come on, let's fly to the sea....

This fragrance has shaken my specially established fragrance comfort zone. It starts with a lot of salt and herbs. At first it seemed scratchy and rough to me, by the associations of a rough wild sea.

At first I wanted to send you away again, but when your heart opened with the delicate aquatic and maritime notes.....so light, sensual, summery,........ my heart opened too.
I could hear what you whispered to me.........take me on the many beautiful journeys to foreign places that you want to take after all.

Dear A'mmare ...........I surrender, you are just beautiful.

Beach postcard

Dear fragrance rummagers at home,

have you ever smelled A'mmare by Carthusia? Maybe you should do so at some point. In any case, I like it very much. Let me try to describe the fragrance to you.

It basically consists of three notes. The first is salty-aquatic, representing the sea. The second is herbaceous and aromatic, rosemary and mint, reminiscent of the dabs of green that grow close to the beach. The last note is a fluffy, slightly sweet and subtly woody musk. It is reminiscent of the little clouds that prevent the sun from burning too much and the fragrance from becoming too dry. Together, the three notes create a kind of postcard motif. Over time, the focus shifts from the aquatic and herbal notes to the musky notes. Overall, I don't yet know of any fragrance that smells really similar to A'mmare.

But wait, what about Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne? Doesn't it also follow the aquatic + herbaceous + musky formula? Yes and no. Even though the two fragrances may look similar on paper, the overall impression is completely different. If Jo Malone were a postcard, it would probably be an artfully minimalist black and white photograph in its British understatement. A'mmare presents the beach in glossy and large format (13x18).

I could also compare A'mmare with Missoni Wave. Musk, light sweetness, aquatic, even rosemary, it's all there. But while Missoni remains more in mainstreaming, showery pleasantness, Ammare shows more edge, individual notes are more clearly recognizable, less perfumey and soft. The Missoni postcard shows a picture of the main beach in the town, sophisticated and somewhat crowded, while A'mmare shows a somewhat remote, lonely beach.

So, now I'm running out of space to write on the map. I hope you were able to make some sense of my descriptions! Even if you only conclude that A'mmare is not your nose length. See you soon, yours
