Well... where do I start with this wonder?
As you spray it, the notes that stand out the most and will stand out for quite a while (say, two hours or so) are the ozone and the bergamot.
It smells, literally, like ozone. Like an ozone cleaning machine like the ones used to be used to put knives in at butcher shops, or the ones used to deodorize large rooms.
This is just the start, as soon as it relaxes a little, the pungent citrus of the bergamot and the salt come out, but not a wet salt like that of the sea, just salt.
After the projection time, which I already told you is spectacular, the sea comes out. Those marine touches, of a huge expanse of water, that smell of salt when you are in the middle of nowhere with a small boat, deep into the sea. All accompanied by something floral in the background, the ylang-ylang suits it perfectly, but for me, the orange blossom goes quite unnoticed.
When it settles, you can still notice the salt, the algae come out, more ylang-ylang and a lot of patchouli, perhaps a bit of that white and somewhat mossy musk. The algae give it an even saltier touch but it is a curious saltiness because if you think of algae, the smell of the beach at low tide quickly comes to mind, those stagnant waters and algae stopped on the shore, but no, it is very clean.
The duration, well, on skin easily +12h and on clothes 2/6 working days nights days rain or wind, I put it on last week on a shirt that I have in the laundry basket and it still gives off the smell of patchouli and seaweed.
The season for this perfume is certainly spring, 100000000000% summer and early autumn, when it still endures that daytime and evening heat. Daytime and also nighttime perfume, it projects a lot with an unusual smell and makes you stand out A LOT among so many Creed Aventus and its imitations and among so much Acqua di Gio.
Its age range of use is obviously for people in adulthood, this does not suit a 20-year-old or younger kid at all, no matter how many boat shoes and dad's Mini Cooper keychain he wears. This is for people in their twenties as far as you want.
You certainly wouldn't wear this to go out to dinner or lunch, this is to stand out, this fills rooms, elevators, dining rooms, outdoors is where it goes perfectly and you don't poison anyone (not even yourself). This is to go out and say "here I am" and even more so because of the peculiar aroma it has.
145€ for 50ml, I would say expensive, but with three sprays it lasts a lifetime so, its price is moderate at the end of the day when you get home and say "damn this still smells like hell"
In short: The sea in a bottle, a sea that deceives by appearing clean at first, but deep and dangerous after a while. A sea that makes you stand out, among the norm, a sea that makes people wonder "mmm what is she wearing smells different and good". A sea that lasts and lasts.
