Olfactory organ pipes
Let's start this review by explaining what "unda maris" referrs to: the "waves of the sea" describe a specific sound of an organ register where one is tuned slightly lower than the other, creating a "wobbly" bass sound. And considering that this is a Sorcinelli fragrance, we can safely assume that we're in church territory!
But that church is by the sea! The wooden doors open abruptly because of the strong winds of the sea nearby - as we sit inside and the incense and myrrhe is burnt, we get a combination of resinous and salty marine notes.
It took me a while to get truly comfortable with tha combination. But after owning the sample for some time now I finally decided to get a full bottle - my search for my "aquatic summer scent" is finally over! This is the one:
Let me draw some comparisons to other perfumes that I've tried, maybe this will paint you a better picture.
Where Megamare mainly stays on the oceans surface, Unda Maris 8 dives below the surface and shows you a bleached coral reef (goddamn climate change!) with sealife in the distance. Around you there's the salty ocean, with some algae and an abandoned landscape. But in this solitude lies warmth and an urge to continue your adventure!
If you got to trythe new Le Sel d'Issey Eau de Parfum and you enjoy that combination of salty and spicy-woody-resinous, then you're in the right territory!
Unda Maris also heavily reminds me of Navis . They have a very similar aquatic feel. But Unda Maris 8 is a bit smoother, smokier, lasts longer and changes over time!
That's the beauty of this perfume:
Multiple levels of the sea in one perfume. From a churchy breeze to a full dive into the deep ocean, only to return back to the shore and have the sun dry you off, leaving a salty layer on your skin. This is what I feel when wearing Unda Maris 8 . It's good!
I also LOVE the packaging and presentation of the perfume. It arrives in a simple but sturdy box and inside is a wooden "etui" for the bottle. Some might call it tacky, but I really like this aesthetic. Open the black wooden block and find an organe register head as the bottle cap: it's really something else. The "extrait de musqiue" has better packaging than the other lines by Sorcinelli, a very cool experience overall.
I hope you enjoyed this lengthy review and I hope I was able to give you a better picture of this perfume :)
