For those who want a dark and stormy sea, this is it. It’s very true to the spirit of the Pacific Northwest where the beaches are rocky and slippery with wet seaweed, the air is always chilled and briny, and the coastal forest is damp year round.
The opening is a bracing hit of pepper, rock salt, aromatics and a lily, the latter of which gets blown away by a gust of wind. Marine accords dominate, with grass, moss, and driftwood all making appearances. The composition remains chilly and mineral to the drydown. This is a salty ocean true to its label. Worth seeking out for a less than genteel aquatic experience.
