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
It can be layered really well with Super Cedar from Byredo. Right now I don' t know which is the best to be the first spray and which the second, and if it' s just the Cedar that makes a difference, but it adds a bit of complexity. Both just as light weight (as far as strength) and it seem they complement each other (for my nose at least) .
Now, seeing you pay close to 220+ to make an OK, somewhat interesting, smell, I still wouldn't say go and buy it just for that.

Mediterranena charm

This perfume just cannot stay in my collection (and not by my own will). The first time I bought it, I hadn't even worn it once yet when my mom literally snatched it from my hands because "this is the best thing I have ever smelled" and "you have too many pefumes anyway, you won't even notice it's gone". The following year I got another bottle, and my grandpa spent the whole summer sneakily going to my room to spray it before going out, and it was too cute of a sight to not give him the bottle. It smelled better on him anyway. NOW, my mom is panicking because she doesn't know what to gift her bestfriend for her birthday in 5 days... and my new bottle is supposed to get delivered tomorrow. So I guess I won't be smelling like A'mmare this time either. Oh well.

On a more serious note, everyone around me keeps going crazy about this scent and I can totally see why. A'mmare is such an easy and sophisticated interpretetion of something that we grew up seeing and living - the mediterranean charm in all its glory (we are from sicily!! hehe). Sipping on a hugo spritz at your local beach club at sunset after a whole day of tanning. Smelling your fingers after your grandma sent you to the garden to pick herbs for the sunday family lunch. Going stargazing with your friends after a summer rain. Salty skin, chilly sea breeze and all that. Beautiful, grand, home

The Grief of Aphrodite Leaving the Sea

That very special moment when you come out of the water and feel the sandy seabed beneath your feet. Slowly your weight becomes heavier as it is less supported by the water. As you stand up, the salty water runs from your hair and is blown away in droplets by the gentle wind carrying the herbal aromas of the coast. They will call you "foam-born," telling wild stories of your father, whose blood and seed were cast into the sea, frothing with the water to conceive you. But you were born of gentle sea foam, from the aroma of saltwater, the coastal wind, mint, and rosemary, mixed with the bitter citrus peels and leaves of the trees along the sunny coast. Now the sun warms your still delicate skin, starting to tan it. The sea lies behind you now, the smell of algae and the wooden planks of the fishermen's dock are palpable. And your heart almost breaks as it comes to fulfilling your purpose and stepping onto land... There is the impulse to simply turn back, to surrender yourself to the water again, light, gentle, salty, loving, unifying everything. Where there is no separation, where everything comes from and where everything returns. A strong pull.
-----
It’s always like this for me. At the sea, when I’ve been swimming and leave the water again, I just want to turn back. When I return home after a stay by the sea.
The name of this fragrance fits: Here we are more by the sea than in the sea. In the opening, it is directly salty, spicy, zesty. The herbs are noticeable. Then it becomes softer, the saltiness lingers for a long time, and the whole thing turns slightly sweet-woody. However, I wouldn’t call it creamy. In the end, a beautiful soft musk base awaits; patchouli only makes it more lasting but does not stand out strongly. This progression feels very melancholic to me, in that the sea always remains close and exerts its pull, but the overall impression is indeed a summer day at the coast.
-----
“A’mmare” (2021) has a clear family resemblance to Parfumum Roma's “Acqua di Sale” (1996), which, to my knowledge, introduced this direction of salty aquatic-spicy etheric scents, and Maison Scentiques' “Aqua Eternel” (2024).
“Salina” (2013) by Laboratorio Olfattivo would also be worth comparing here.
In my comparative review of Acqua di Sale, I had written, referring to my statement, that the latest “Aqua Eternel” is less wild and unruly, but for me also very successful. It contains a few additional notes that enrich it and make it a bit more complex, but also milder. “O sweet sea,” I had written there, alongside the salty spicy wind come bitter citrus peel aromas from the citrus trees on the slopes. The myrtle is a touch gentler, and the violet hint is for me exactly the scent of the “sea purple cloths” that the nymphs weave in the cave on Ithaca. The soft spice powder soul of the base gives a sense of security.
“Acqua di Sale” is, in comparison, more unruly, primal, wild, has more herb-etheric myrtle and is less softened. The longevity is good for all, perhaps a touch weaker for Aqua Eternel.
“A’mmare” has a bit less sweetness and more herbal-dry powder, is not quite as unruly, the sea is milder, the scent of damp algae and the wooden planks in the sun mixes with the coastal herbs.
I love the sea, always have.

Thank you to dear Nasella and Julchen2017 for the opportunity to test extensively!
