Seaside Melancholy
This was a blind-buy, and I really couldn't imagine what it would smell like until I tried it. Now that I have, I can confirm that it smells exactly how LVNEA describes it. I get an extremely powerful animalic opening that reminds me of a beach at low tide (I hate this term, but it's seriously beast-mode). I was honestly a bit repulsed at first, it's pretty funky. But I found myself sniffing my wrist constantly throughout the day, slowly starting to love it. Once I got past the opening, I began to pick up on the pine. The sharp opening notes settle and soften into a cozy animalic cocoon. This is not a "perfumey" interpretation of wet fur and sea brine; it is impressively realistic.
To me, this is a lonely, rocky beach on a cold and misty day. You sit on the rocks by the water, unsure if your clothes are damp from the light rain or the ocean spray as the small waves crash against the rocks. Sparse coniferous trees slowly sway in the distance. You shiver under a heavy wool blanket.
Another image it conjures: a solitary lighthouse keeper looks out longingly across the expanse of the sea, wishing they weren't quite so alone.
