La Résidence Seathalasso

Seathalasso

Douglas 2012 Eau de Toilette

What a pity that this fragrance, as I wore it today and yesterday and which Helena1411 kindly let me have in a swap, is no longer available. At least not in the way I have come to know it now.

Briefly, the orange blossom greets me, only to immediately make way for the sea. Refreshing and pleasant, it fit perfectly into the slightly sultry warm weather of yesterday. After half a minute, these maritime notes threaten to drift towards brackish water. But Seathalasso regains its footing, leading me a little away from the coast to a nearby garden that houses the most beautiful blooms, whose scent the wind gently wafts around my nose, without me losing the sea air from my perception. The fragrance notes are gentle, slightly warming, and calm, yet still lightly refreshing due to the sea air. I do not perceive cedarwood and musk separately. After a few hours, I mainly have a softly wafted orange blossom from the maritime notes in my nose. It wafts towards me from my T-shirt, while on my skin a slightly spicy note remains.

The longevity on the skin is fine for me at 5 - 6 hours. The sillage is moderate, staying within the immediate personal space. The T-shirt will surely continue to smell until it lands in the washing machine.

On the Douglas website, there are many disappointed comments from customers who repurchased Seathalasso and no longer found the scent as they knew it.

Addendum: This evening, after many many hours, I can also perceive wood + heliotrope.
