What wearers say

“Very beautiful and aquatic - like a breath of fresh air off the amalfi coast (no I have never been there, but you get me haha). It is sooo similar to Replica Sailing Day. I'm surprised this has not been voted in the similar perfumes, so I just did. I get plenty of compliments on Sailing Day, and I'm sure this will get many compliments. It's unisex and you smell super clean, fresh, slightly summery, breezy and most of all aquatic! Love those unique scents.”

“This reminds me a lot of Xerjoff Nio. It has that bright bergamot and floral opening with the green dry down style. It’s got a pretty light to medium projection but you can definitely tell it’s there cause it makes its presence known quite often. I’d say longevity is very good cause it lasts for a long while. With its lightness, it would definitely work great in hot weather. It’s a really nice easy to wear smell that’s discreetly classy that be worn by anyone.”

“I enjoy this scent, very citrus, while in the dry down I get some sort of animalic note, i belive it’s most likely from the patchouli. I don’t get any strawberry (which i was kinda looking forward to) so that’s kinda sad. I actually think this is not worth the price point if I am going to be completely transparent.”

Sillage

The clone has marginally shorter longevity and less projection compared to the designer original. The salt and mineral aspects are present but feel slightly muted in the dry-down, making it a solid but not perfect replica.
