My Kerosene Walk The Sea Fragrance Review on YouTube

If you follow me on YouTube you already know I have a challenging time with aquatic fragrances. But lately I have been opening up to aquatic fragrances and I find this good enough to wear and enjoy. I can tolerate little amounts of the aquatic touches. Walk The Sea by Kerosene starts out very salty with the sea salt note and takes off from there. White floral notes come through but they are not dominant as the salt pretty much dominates now. Woody notes slip in and you start experiencing the cedar along with the ambergris. As it's drying down it's musky and animalic. To me this is a darker take on an aquatic fragrance. It's not your bright and happy aquatic that is typically on the market. If you're tired of those types then check this fragrance out. But please watch my review video on YouTube to find out more about this great release from the indie niche house of Kerosene. Thank you.

Sun-Kissed Skin, White Florals, and Clean Laundry

Perfume is such an odd thing. Our perception of fragrances is shaped by so many things: culture, weather, mood, time of day, etc. Unlike say clothing, which yes, is also affected by those things– I mean I wouldn’t want to wear a wool sweater in July!– we still see it for what it is… a wool sweater. Perfume, however, can completely change given a multitude of reasons. We’re all aware of maceration’s effect on perfume, time and temperature can affect the juice on a chemical level. What I’m focusing on in this review is how Walk the Sea has two distinct smells to me.

In the hot summer months, this perfume was something I reached for to have that “your skin but better” scent. It smelled like a sun-kissed skin after a day at the ocean. It opened with florals, sure, but it was quickly overtaken by a salty, musky skin scent that I absolutely love!

So when I wore it in the winter, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t get that sun-kissed skin scent. Instead, the white florals stayed much longer, and the musks developed into less of a skin scent and more into luxurious, fresh laundry. The salt was still there, which blended into the scene of seaside hydrangeas and laundry flapping in the ocean breeze. And I absolutely loved it!

I bought this fragrance in the summer because I liked the dry down and wasn’t a fan of the white florals, but as it’s grown colder, I’ve come to really enjoy the white florals and how long they last in the winter. It lasts for a good 6-8 hours with a decent projection, about an arm-and-a-half.

Personally, this is my go-to calming fragrance. It soothes me, makes me feel at ease. It’s like a warm hug from the sea breeze itself.

Stormy seas

I've spent my whole life in and around the ocean, and this is exactly what I've been searching for as a signature fragrance over the last year. I was super disappointed to find out that Oud Minerale was discontinued last summer, but it turns out, I like this much more.

Some good, salty, oceanic funk, lifted out of low tide-stank territory with the white florals. As others have noted, it could be perceived as having a challenging aspect to it, though not nearly as much as something like Squid, and I don't think anyone would find it off putting. It's quite different from your usual aquatic, which is a very good thing to me. Love.

Calmer take from the house of Kerosene

Walk the Sea is not new to me, back when I discovered the house of Kerosene I went full speed and ordered any sample I could get my hands on.
One of them was Walk the Sea. My expectations were high, because I was hungry for a fragrance that had a realistic note of salt in it. Olympéa by Paco Rabanne and Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone had already disappointed me.
I remember that Walk the Sea wasn't as salty as I wanted it to be, but I also found it floral rather than marine back then. Revisiting it is quite exciting, because I have had very different experiences with fragrances after revisiting them now that my journey in the fragrance world has been going on for a hot minute.
Walk the Sea smells like warm sand, it is deep and ambiguous in its scent. Quickly, a white floral fragrance appears and it reminds me a lot of Monoi by Yves Rocher. So much so that I am convinced Walk the Sea is based on tiare.
The ambergris is dominating, yet subtle. I think it's because there are so few notes to detect in this fragrance.
I would dare to call it an animalic floral, if that's even a thing. Is Walk the Sea salty then? Not really, so I am!
Walt the Sea has an ever so slight note of salt, because of its ambergris and warm sand scent. The note of salt is more an idea and illusion than an actual note.

I have been looking for a spring to summer fragrance, and I must say that this is a great candidate. It is warm, somewhat sweet, but not too much so that it becomes too summery. Walk the Sea is a very pleasant scent that I find many would like. All day, I could sense the ambergris around me and I wouldn't mind smelling like this in spring.

White flowers in salt water

The sea air gently blows over my hair. Grains of sand caress and tickle my legs with every step over warm-wet sand. Every few seconds the waves wet my feet and wash gravel, shells and seaweed leaves to the beach. On the dunes, white flowers sway in the wind and exude their attractant scent dancing. The midday sun dries the sea water drops until only a soft film of salt covers my warm skin and makes me dream of a never ending holiday...

For a long time I was looking for a fresh and yet durable summer scent that smells neither of lemon nor of cool water.

Walk the Sea is the perfect fragrance for hot days... and holds and holds and holds. Burned right into my heart, and I'll never give it up again. It starts fresh and maritime with unmistakable salt notes. Like a fresh breeze from the Mediterranean in spring. Amber nestles underneath, accompanied by white flowers that don't seem too feminine. Apart from the salt note, the scent remains quite linear and lasts for hours. He develops a very fine animal touch, which reminds me of tanned warm skin - but without the typical coconut impact.

Tested it in Cretan May sun at almost 30 degrees. Also here it stops at me almost 10 hours without being intrusive. The sillage and projection are not exactly weak for a summer scent, but do not kill even in the midday sun.

For me Walk the Sea is absolutely unisex, if man has no problem with the nuances of white flowers. For me a masterpiece that I will never want to miss in my perfume collection again.
