It was hot all day… Clothes stuck uncomfortably to my body and now the sun is slowly setting. I look forward to a glass of Raki right by the promenade, sitting down on an old wooden chair with a square wooden table that creaks as I sit.
Now it’s time, the well-chilled Raki has arrived, my gaze drifts towards the Aegean and I take my first sip. Just at that moment, a refreshing breeze comes, cooling me down a bit.
This is exactly the kind of imagery I had with Mare. A blind buy that brings the absolute wow effect. Even my wife, who has been highly critical of every perfume purchase and can't stand fragrances, has for the first time since the birth of our son, uttered the words that I smell good.
The scent is aquatic and salty, but it also has something sweet that I can't quite place, yet it has completely captivated me (and thankfully not just me).
Longevity… outstanding in this heat. In Germany, it might even be stronger. At least a 9/10.
Sillage is above average, especially for a summer fragrance, and in my opinion, Mare clearly falls into this category.
Bottle. It's fine, stable, and unremarkable.
P/L… well, I don’t know the price for the market in D-A-CH. It cost 3,000 Turkish Lira (about 66 Euros) and is twice as expensive as the other fragrances from MAD. According to the staff in the store, it is currently the bestseller. I can imagine that it goes for 100 Euros in Germany, which might be too much for some.
