By the editors · 2 min readThe marine facet that defined the original World returns here, but dialed up to an almost crystalline intensity. Sea salt dominates from the first spray—not the vague aquatic shimmer of many beach fragrances, but something closer to actual brine, sharp and mineral. This is salt as texture rather than metaphor, creating a bright, almost electric opening that feels deliberately unadorned.
As it settles, tonka bean provides the counterweight, softening the saline edge without fully taming it. The contrast is intentional and sustained: creamy vanilla facets meet cold minerality, creating a tension that never quite resolves. This dynamic prevents the fragrance from becoming either too sweet or too stark.
What emerges is a scent that feels more conceptual than wearable in the traditional sense. It suits those drawn to fragrances that prioritize an idea—oceanic power, elemental contrast—over conventional prettiness. The 'Power' in the name reads less as strength and more as amplification: everything turned up, boundaries pushed.
