Tarry marine for the daring (or the introspective) ones
We've all been there with the marine scents à la Megamare or à la Black Sea: salt, algae, ambergris. They're authentic, they smell sea, and that's alright. But here Sorcinelli wanted to do something different than just describing a sea scent: he mixed the creaminess of coconut milk with a (reversed) opening of mandarin and pine tar - pine tar - while leaving amber and oakmoss in the (reversed) background!
The idea was to portrait the sea at dusk, when you smell the water, of course, but also a hint of the tar from the nearby road. It's strange, weird at times, but it doesn't smell bad at all. You get the creaminess of orris and coconut milk, still get some amberiness in the background, but the tar note is intense and accompanies you for the whole trip.
I wouldn't say it's an easy fragrance (none of Sorcinelli's ones is, although this is far more approachable than many others), and it takes a little courage to use it on a first date. Yet it is somehow charming to a certain extent. I'd say it's a complex and interesting scent, and I would advice it to those willing to try a marine which is out of the box.
