My best friend has a birthday in autumn, and I am quietly searching for a fragrance that matches his character and lifestyle.
He is a serious, thoughtful person - far from a joker - and as loyal as gold.
The amateur astrologers are now guessing he's a Scorpio - rightly so.
In addition to his profound nature, he is also characterized by his love for travel, so I was intrigued by Mare Pacifico.
He has surely been to the Pacific at some point - and if not, maybe this scent could serve as a travel inspiration?
The opening of fresh lemon and ethereal green cypress is very inviting, and I await what comes next.
A bracing sea note refreshes, but unfortunately, it brings with it a metallic quality that cuts through the fragrance coldly.
No, not a valuable stainless steel aroma, but simple tin.
Brown, rotting seaweed has wrapped itself around the tin can, giving off a carrion-like tone.
Unfortunately, the tin doesn't fly away from me but sticks to my skin.
Disappointed, I set this Linari aside, as it truly does not inspire wanderlust - but rather a spontaneous urge to wash. P.S. The girlfriend wore it yesterday - and on her, it surprisingly worked well.
I didn't like the opening either. It has that artificial sea breeze scent from air fresheners you find at the drugstore. Then a soapy note came in, which I actually liked, but that weird urea scent you described as metallic kept coming back stronger. I ended up washing it off. The faint soapy shaving cream scent that lingered on the skin is nice, though.
That's exactly it! Even after 15 hours, you need several cleaning sessions and methods to get rid of the residue. It's good that the sea rarely washes it away and can smell like that, but only then. "Mudworm" would be a fitting name for this perfume.
