What wearers say
“Warning for those who dislike sweet florals: this opens very masculine and aquatic. Give it an hour or two, though, and it shifts into noticeably sweet floral notes that lean feminine and last around 6, 8 hours. I get that it’s marketed as a hybrid, but to me it feels more like a split personality fragrance. One scent in the opening, and a completely different one in the drydown.”
“Pure vanilla and amber, after 10 minutes and through the 4 hours duration you get nothing else but vanilla and amber. Kinda smells like some vanilla/karitè/argan bath soap. Forgettable and senseless. Similar to megamare as mud is similar to chocolate.”
“First fragrance review on here, and there is a reason why.When I ordered it, I expected it to be in the similar ball park as Pacific Rock Moss, Atlas and so on. Not the same, but similar. Boy was I wrong. This fragrance blew me straight out the water. It starts off with a very smooth blend of vanilla and saltiness and as it dries down it becomes more and more earthy and the white florals become more apparent.I genuinely didn't expect it to be as good as it is. Amazing fragrance, would recommend definitely if you can find it below 45$, and even in that price range it's amazing.”
