Mare Pacifico Linari 2014

The true art of using synthetics in such a way that their various facets independently convey the scent of naturalness is a great skill. Just as it is a great art - although it often receives less favorable reactions - to stylistically employ synthetics so that a natural comparison seems almost impossible. Linari has dared to provocatively place Calone in the foreground with this fragrance.

Fresh citrus notes and the calone-typical watermelon provide a sparkling-refreshing start. Although of synthetic nature, it is the fruity note of the watermelon that predominates, evoking thoughts of summer rather than shower gel. The emerging salt creates a genuine impression of the sea without any algae. Delicate cucumber tones introduce a vegetal influence without being annoyingly intrusive.
Even the subtly creamy impression that arises after some time cannot overshadow the freshness. Instead, it is suppressed by increasingly stronger bitter notes. Essentially, the transition from the citrus-fruity notes to the fresher green-bitter side reflects this progression. Because not much more happens, but that does not detract from the experience.

Sea enthusiasts who find Sel Marin & Co. too algal and thus not sufficiently compliment-worthy will surely find Mare Pacifico to be the right place to test. Never losing its freshness, it creates a fairly realistic, calone-influenced impression of the sea that is sure to be well-received! Whether a fragrance based on this aquatic scent is right for oneself is something one must determine. It is certainly well made!
