Surreal Ocean
Created by Honorine Blanc, Surreal Ocean opens on an aquatic chord that calone-adjacent chemistry renders recognizable — the coral reef note is synthetic ozone laced with mandarin, while soursop adds a tropical acidity that keeps the opening from reading as generic blue.

By the editors · 2 min readCreated by Honorine Blanc, Surreal Ocean opens on an aquatic chord that calone-adjacent chemistry renders recognizable — the coral reef note is synthetic ozone laced with mandarin, while soursop adds a tropical acidity that keeps the opening from reading as generic blue. The heart softens the marine entry with gardenia and water lily, a floral pivot that is clean and watery rather than lush; red apple bridges the fruity and floral registers in the manner typical of early 2010s mainstream composition. Cedar and amber anchor the base with warmth, and a nebulous pearls accord reads as faint musk-powder. Subtle rather than forceful, a skin-close summer scent.
