What wearers say

“One of my favorites that I purchased this year. Very salty and aquatic with some woody aspects in the dry down. Perfect for a hot summer day. For an EDT the performance is great, it lasts for about 7-9 hours with arm's length projection for the first 2 hours, give or take.I actually came across this because during the summer I use Native Sea Salt & Cedar body wash and love that scent. I wanted a perfume that closely matches it. Searched the notes and this was the closest I could find after sampling some. I’ll be looking forward to trying the EDP version when I run out of this bottle.”

“This one got me compliments at the office. Initial projection is huge. Best freshie I've smelt and you can overspray without problem. Can last up to 8 hours as a skin scent. Semi-sweet and gingery with a beautiful clean saltiness on the drydown that does not smell rancid or musty. Maybe it's my skin but I don't find this overly harsh or sharp.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This has been my most complimented scent in years. I love the salty woody dry down. For an EDT it is super long lasting and a great performer. 2-3 sprays is more than enough and lasts 7+ hours without an over spray. It is going to be my go-to fragrance this summer.”
