From the Depths
From the depths of the Ocean, Silence the Sea from Strangelove NYC.
I'd say this is the most polarizing perfume I own. Not for me, I love it, but to anyone else. I like sharing it with people only to observe their reactions. There's 10% of the population who loves it, and the remainder.
It's a natural Ambergris perfume that smells vividly of the Ocean. The reason why it's so polarizing is because of how accurately it captures that smell. Too accurately. It's not intended to be pretty but rather evocative. I think it's a marvelous achievement. It is daunting, sometimes too much, yet it has a sexual power to it that can't be denied. A mischievous scent. It's a composition blended so well that it creates an overall sensorial experience rather than an easy-to-break-down structure. The ambergris, I'd say brown or black, is always present right from the get-go. Earthy, aromatic, and floral elements orbit around it. The truffle helps with the earthy-like facets, the angelica and chamomile provide a slightly aromatic touch, while at times, tuberose and mimosa spark faint floral nuances. There's also a seaweed smell and an undeniable metallic facet to it. It almost makes me think of fresh blood. And it can be too much at times. However, the longer it blends with your skin, the warmer and silkier it becomes. Even though people hate it if they get a close whiff, they seem rather curious about what you're wearing whenever they catch your trail. It is one of those perfumes that when you smell close up the skin, it can be too much, yet it radiates beautifully in the air. With that being said, after it calms down, the strong oceanic smell lingers on. Imagine swimming around a wooden platform out in the open waters, resting on the wooden pillars occasionally to catch your breath, or swimming around a boat at sea. You get that smell of damp wood, iodine, seaweed, crustaceans, and much more. That's how Silence the Sea comes across, especially if you inhale too close. Brutally accurate, raw, unapologetic. A bold perfume, a call from the depths, for the Sea Wolf inside you.
