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.
