Salt, Vanilla and Incense

I loooooove this.

Basically you get a loooootta salt, spices, and vanilla. A very very slight tough of incense in the background, but wow this is gorgeous and very very strong :-)

What i notice is the big difference when you smell it up close to your nose, and the trail it leaves. When closer, it smells very aromatic and peppery... but the trail is just insane, very salty vanilla.

The best kind of weird - 9.5/10. Good enough to be your signature scent

Parfumo needs to add a creativity/originality rating. This would be 10/10 no question
One of the best and most original perfumes

It smells like drinking from a coconut, while sitting next to a bonfire on a tropical island beach. Incredible vibes
The scent is so strange, but is close to as good as it gets - I consider Forever Love (Pana Dora) the best summer scent in the universe, and this isn’t far behind.

I find most aquatic perfumes boring, and salty notes typically feel synthetic and cheap
Idk if anyone else gets this but must aquatic/salty perfumes leave a weird taste in my mouth and are irritating to my nose
But not here - this is my favourite aquatic perfume and my most interesting summer scent.
(It also feels nice and tingly on my nose and tongue)

This perfume smashes every threshold I have when considering buying a full bottle;
Incredibly pleasant scent
Very long lasting (easily 10 hours - S tier for a summer scent)
Unique and complex scent; you will stand out a LOT wearing this
Strong sillage without being a burden. My bottle arrived today and even with no maceration this stuff is pretty damn strong.
The bottle design is top tier
Perfume gives off excellent vibes
Unisex perfume, great for masc/fem.
Performs really well in all seasons and situations
The value for 100ml is decent, but definitely not good.
The atomiser is really tiny, so 2 sprays will probably last you forever unless you wear it daily.

I need more people to discover this beautiful stuff
(and Armani Prive in general)
The more I think about it the better it gets, I promise you’ll love it
Unless you have shit taste :)

9.5/10 I will buy another bottle if I ever run out
100% signature scent worthy

Ansel Adams, Refugio beach, CA

This scent doesn’t strike me as particularly aquatic or ‘turquoise’, there is a certain salty smoky feel to it that keeps it from turning into a straightforward aquatic, and maintains its ‘chill’ throughout the wearing.
Bleu Turquoise sends out a cool vibe similar to the surface of rocks, slightly damp from the sea and seaweed, but the sea stays in the background as if it were part of a low-tide landscape.
Cool, damp rocks and a Nag-champa (in this case, sandalwood and jasmine) kind of incensy smokiness set this scent apart, with an occasional whiff of spices. In warmer weather the cypriol notes transmit a cool, smooth, almost marble-like impression of the scent, and make it oddly ‘mineral’. The creamy and soft Armani Privè vanilla base is present throughout.
This is probably not the easiest AP fragrance in the line-up and not the safest blind-buy. It is fascinating and unusual, like an olfactory take on tonal, fine-grained black and white photography by Ansel Adams, tools, metallic photo gear and wet Kodak film included, and a lonely transistor playing Billie Holiday’s ‘Solitude’ in the background, lying by the side of an extinguished bonfire

Priviledged Foretaste

I was (I think possibly somewhat genuinely) priviledged to get hold of it before the _official_ release-date, and I loved it instantly, with its excruciating musk (I see it's not listed; but, if this is not a _seriously_ musky fragrance, Trondheim is south of Melbourne!), funky-indolic jasmine, and then - to crown it all - that salt note! Stroke of genius! This perfume is a jewel, a resonance maximum! In the store I was shown maybe another eight or so before I could snap myself out of my rapture & say "it's alright - stop! stop for now! - I've already decided!".

Unhappy balance

Maritime isn't very high on my list of likes and dislikes. But since 'Copal Azur' offered me a successful symbiosis between a certain wateriness and smoke, unchecked reservations are of course invalid. The paper test at the Armani booth in the Alsterhaus promised a closeness to the Duchaufour for 'Bleu Turquoise', a well-filled tester (they are now with a dotted head; on this topic see Commi to Musc Shamal) was directly available with.

In the foreground, the resemblance to the older colleague from Aedes de Venustas (from 2014) is indeed astonishing, except that Armani was seasoned with pepper instead of clove. For the present maritime approach I am considering, besides the usual suspects, vetiver salt.

The only problem is that when I first tested 'Copal Azur', which was done without knowing the information in the shop, I hadn't thought of anything maritime at all. And since then (I own the fragrance) his contribution has been pleasingly discreet.

With today's candidate, the perfumer's hand has unfortunately slipped in this regard and I find it far too much. Within a short time, the fragrance is surrounded by a brackish, musty impression, which bites quite unpleasantly with the vanilla sweetness. A scraped, dusty, scratchy surface doesn't make things better.

In my opinion, either the Salzig-Maritime should have been added to the sweetness or vice versa. The equal weighting, however, causes me to be quite reluctant. I hardly like to smell the sprayed back of my hand in order to search more carefully for possible other aromas and so I have to stay a little on the surface. Further days of testing brought neither change nor habituation.

It doesn't help me much that the brackish mood is ultimately limited in comparison to other fragrances (especially those newcomers from the cheaper corner, which end quickly and completely) and on top of that, a gentle splashing helps in the afternoon. I don't get more than a "Goes like this" backwards for me.

Bottom line: Not for me.
