Megamare Orto Parisi 2019

There is something unexpectedly buttoned-up about this scent. I'm not an office worker or a yacht owner, but those are the top two places I feel like I should wear this. It's aquatic but in a kind of 'niche candle company does ocean breeze for the bathroom' kind of way. I get more white floral than citrus even from the opening. The dry down is beachy with some salt and wet sand but much cleaner than I expected given some hype around the seaweed notes that I had read - I don't smell 'oh no the beach is covered in seaweed today yuck' in this at all. I definitely want my partner (who does work in an office, and is a bit of a beach loving guy) to try the rest of this sample, as I am more than happy to smell it but don't really identify with anything about it for myself. Can't speak to the longevity on clothing, as I was very careful not to get it in contact with textiles due to the reputation it has for never coming out.
