Acqua di Sale

“Got this yesterday, just 25 years behind everyone else... A blind buy, but the 18ml size. A bit pricey but definitely worth it. The initial blast is animalic in character and I get a distinct vaginal note. Not very pleasant. Luckily it settles down quickly and from there I get the sea. But the sea at a distance (like the smell you get two miles inland from the shore) and the beautiful sun warm driftwood. Definitely salt too. Lasting and lasting, for hours and hours. When this vial is empty I will get the full size!”

“Scent: 9/10Longevity: 10/10Sillage: 9/10Projection: 9/10I've never been into acquatics parfumes, I love oud and spicy fragrances mostly, but this is SO GOOD!The smell is beautiful and you can catch the sea and green notes with the beautiful woody base. There's also a vibrant note that I can't recognize.This lasts for ages and has a lot better performance than most "heavy" fragrances, probably because the oils concentration is really high.It's stupid to say that this fragrance isn't unique, since it was created in 1996 and even now the copies aren't even close!”

“This is a strange one. The opening blast is marine herby salty ... almost medicinal, then it calms down and you're still left with salty marine with a little fruit in there for good measure.I agree with JungleJuice, the saltiness is not a far cry from Secretions Magnifiques from ELO (that one has a pitch of 'blood, sweat, sperm, saliva... one spray of that actually makes me gag) but this one is more chill, tolerable.It has been beautifully crafted, and i do I think it is a 'going to the beach' kind of frag, but not necessarily in a good way.Longevity is great. Projection is medium.”
