Dear Sedley

You do exactly what you came into this world to do. You smell fresh, aquatic, spicy. You don't try to reinvent or redefine this genre of aquatics, you join a multitude of alternative fragrances in this segment. A segment which seems to be overrun and these days only by animalic "Aquaten" with brute durability "justifies" a raison d'être.

In my opinion, an aquatic fragrance does not have to last 72 hours, because it is not made for that. An aquatic fragrance is made for summer, for warm days. On these days you should above all one thing: Refresh! Light and easy... And that's exactly what you do incredibly well! You start off confident, fresh and strong, exactly how I as a man want to feel after my morning shower in the summer. "Shower gel scent" some may berate you, but who doesn't want to smell like that? Who wants to shower in the summer with Layton, Carlisle or Habdan?

You let go with time, but you do not disappear completely. You accompany your carrier sovereign through the day and yes, others have what of you. Just not in an "in your face" - manner, but with a lot of understatement. Your notes result in an insanely coherent drydown for me. Something fluffy and light but consistently determining fresh and spicy.

The evening is not entirely your time, you need the sun to shine.

Your price is steep and there are many good alternatives. But your distinctive fragrance is what sets you apart - at least for me - from the competition.
