Marine white floral with a subtle, unnerving edge

What would otherwise still be a well-done, utterly classy white marine floral becomes all the more fascinating with the addition of a seaweed note. Love this little twist that throws my nose just a touch off balance. I was so impressed with this fragrance I sought out the 1967 film of the same name by Louis Bunuel that is the inspiration for the scent. Bravo ERIS!

Avant-retro aquatic-floral

The aquatic white floral was a thing for a while in the nineties. Apart from some heavily degraded remnants that can be found at the discounter shelf at the grocery store, this has become a lost genre ever since. This oddity by Antoine Lie therefore feels more like an avant-garde piece than an actual retro thing.

The florals in place are a smooth, non-indolic jasmine-orange blossom duo. They are greened-up by fresh cilantro in unusually high amounts. A peculiar marine note takes that freshness even a step further. This is way different from nowadays driftwood or sea salt notes. I would describe it as a herbaceous-hairspray-musky type of marine freshness and it appears to come straight from the nineties.

This is one-of-a-kind and as such not to everyone's taste, obviously. Personally, I found it both an odd scent and a fun ride. Fun enough to want to wear it again, once or twice. Just to raise some eyebrows.

Fresh flowers

(White)-floral with herbs, musk and aldehydes. It has a quite peculiar fresh (watery) note (I believe it could be a play of aldehydes), which I think I have met in some vintage floral perfumes by Nina Ricci. In the base, animalistic musk becomes more prominent and remains in the composition until the end.

Weird, unpleasant, green-floral-aquatic

Quite strange, it feels a bit "off," but I suppose that's how it's meant to be. Soapy associations like many mentioned in the statements, greenish, the whole arm is covered in soapy water, the pepper is also overwhelmed, coriander is the most present and comes through the soap in a very unappetizing way, it almost makes me feel a bit nauseous, you get that feeling in your throat that you don't want to smell too deeply, as it won't do you any good.

The allspice is rather less noticeable for me in the progression, labdanum and jasmine complement the coriander, while this soap note at least partially fades after about 30 minutes, instead it gains a certain mineral quality, lime, a bit of iodine, otherwise greenish, slightly aquatic, very unusual.

In the final part, the green-algal aspect increases a bit, but it never truly becomes a full-fledged aquatic; it always hovers a bit between worlds, floral-green-aquatic-weird. The Atlas cedar is also rather absent or not discernible on its own.

A very strange scent, not a fan, it has a base note that makes it really unpleasant in the first half hour to hour.
