The scents from the brand are quite mixed. In my opinion, besides this one, "Cannabis Patchouli," "Rock the Myrrh," "Soie Malaquais," and the nice "Orange Smoke" are worth trying. The rest can be skipped.
If all the swimming gear stays in the closet, I'm definitely in for the meeting at the sailors' home. If it excites you that much, it already deserves some early praise.
Thank you! ☺️ My latest acquisition from Antwerp is "Soie Malaquais," which is my husband's new purchase (I'm a bit jealous, but since it's a 200 ml bottle, you hardly notice one or two sprays 😇).
How nice that synthetic notes are apparently used so skillfully that they don't sting unpleasantly. And the lack of aquatic attributes definitely plays to my advantage.
* A wonderful example of successfully using synthetics and a summer fragrance with an edge. Mandarin is supported by bitter green notes, retaining its fruity sweetness but never becoming sugary. Salt sprinkles suggest a certain closeness to the sea, with the algae accord being more hinted at than concrete. Hallelujah, a wearable summer scent without aquatic gestures; the floaties stay in the closet! In the heart, there's a hint of floral notes, with geranium adding a touch of elegance. No overdose of oakmoss, but a contouring base of the same, dry vetiver, a bit of patchouli warmth, and tiny traces of incense. Together, this creates an exciting contrast: on one side, the green, bitter freshness, and on the other, a grounded, gently warming base. It occasionally brushes against the concept of Chypre. The synthetics serve the fragrance, allowing it to vibrate, flow, and create a modern connection. Wearable, different, and never arbitrary. I'm thrilled.
It seems to really score points for good reason.
Looking forward to summer ☀️
I may not want a sailor anymore, but what a movie in my head! 👍
