A Beach Day in the 1970s

As a teenager, I often spent vacations at the North Sea with my parents. And there was always this very special scent in the air of wonderful sunscreen, sea, salt, and warm skin. I remember how my mother and I would always hold our noses to the wind to locate this scent precisely. Whenever a beach neighbor used an elegant sunscreen from Lancaster, we always thought, that must be the one that smells so great! However, we never figured it out. I have never forgotten that special scent.

Until two years ago, when I was once again meandering around Douglas and, since it was so hot, was looking for a nice summer fragrance. The saleswoman sprayed Seathalasso (which was first introduced in the care line that I didn't know about back then) on my arm. WHAAAM!!! I couldn't believe it: There it was, exactly that scent from my past, simply bottled! I was speechless and completely blown away, and of course, I took it home immediately! It has accompanied me for two summers now, and I love it! However, I only wear it when it’s really hot. How it smells has already been perfectly described by others before me: Like sun-warmed skin, sunscreen, sea, salt, sand, and wind - in short, like a wonderful sunny beach day by the sea - all perfectly captured in a fragrance.

It doesn't last too long on me either, but the bottle, which I really like with the shells on the cap, contains 100 ml. And the price is moderate, so you can easily and often replenish it. Of course, my mother also owns Seathalasso. She was totally blown away when I showed it to her. I will never forget how she exclaimed with complete enthusiasm: “Yes, exactly, THAT is the scent from back then at the beach!”

That's really wonderful when fragrances can inspire us like that. Your mother's exclamation is so sweet, and how great that you came across this scent. Very nice comment from you.

Ah! I just find it absolutely delightful!!! I can't smell the salt at all, but the water lily comes through so much more *melting away*. And - oh wonder - in the base, there's my beloved vanilla in the form of heliotrope! Yummy, yummy, yummy... ;o)

Nothing beats fragrances that take us on journeys to the wonderful places of our past - for that alone, some perfumers deserve a medal.

A scent that really divides opinions here ;-D. I'm one of its fans. Definitely want to hear more about it, as longevity is important to me.

That's exactly how Seathalasso feels to me too - a day at the beach! And it lasts pretty well on me too ;o)

I quite like it too, it just disappears so quickly. But for the price, you can definitely reapply!
