A bit masculine and aquatic for my taste
My stream of consciousness review:
Spraying on paper first to see if I want to try it on skin. At first spray it’s quite sharp and musky. I think I’m getting the anise which I wasn’t expecting to like because I hate licorice, but I don’t find it offensive at all. Maybe because it’s kind of a woody herbal scent. I originally pegged this as a fresh/green fragrance based on the description, but it’s much woodier than I expected. Now that the spray has dried down, the aquatic notes are coming to the front. Honestly, it smells a bit like men’s cologne, but I think I want to try it on skin to see if it performs differently.

At first spray it’s VERY herbal. The anise is quite strong, though like I found with testing it on paper, not at all unpleasant. I’m also definitely catching a seaweed note that is really interesting. It’s also quite aquatic, in a kind of woody way. Think driftwood that just washed up on the shore. I’m not really getting any hint of salt water, which is why this kind of reminds me of a mountain lake.
At 45min in, it hasn’t changed much - it’s still a woody-aquatic fragrance. Though there’s something a little smokey to it as well. This is a little weird, but I feel like I’m getting a hint of bacon, lol. Or some type of smoked meat. There’s nothing really offensive about the fragrance… I’m just not sure if it’s for me.
2 hours in and it’s mostly faded, but I can still smell it up close. So not the best longevity. Granted some may have rubbed off on my sweater. I don’t know how that might affect projection and longevity.
I think if you are inclined towards aquatic, woody, and more masculine scents, Littoral could be interesting to try. It’s not for me, but I’m going to hold on to the sample for reference.
