I'm in Crete
This is what an inhabitant of the island of Crete might hear from his house with the orange roof, when after his summer work he sits on the terrace to drink a fruit juice. The opening makes me think of a glass overflowing with sweet lemon juice with a splash of grapefruit on top. The salty note is perceived after a few moments, it is like a sea breeze that reaches us, looking out of a window, a hundred meters from the sea shore, therefore without the presence of any odor reminiscent of algae or particularly pungent. The fragrance remains so throughout its temporal development, with the marine note in the foreground, which envelops the citrus fruits. In concrete terms it is a perfume without complexity and contrasts, it doesn't even have that particular note or accord that can distinguish it from others.
But it remains a marine fragment, pleasant even if minimalist
