By the editors · 2 min readMarine accord crashes forward first, briny and ozonic, lifted by bergamot’s tart sparkle and an icy mint snap that sharpens the salt edge. The heart folds lavender and clary sage into the breeze, their herbal-aromatic oils softening the marine chill while vetiver’s earthy root anchors the composition with green tobacco nuance. Atlas cedar adds dry, pencil-shaving wood that keeps the base clean rather than creamy, letting musk supply a skin-close white hum that quietly extends the coastal impression for hours. Projection stays polite, a forearm-length aura perfect for office days or post-gym refresh; heat amplifies the salty sparkle, cool air emphasises the cedar-musk minimalism. Overall a linear, crisp seashore scent that behaves like a refined body spray: fresh, unobtrusive, engineered for warm-weather utility rather than narrative twists.
