By the editors · 2 min readNamed for the Catalan fishing village where Dalí spent much of his life, Sea & Sun in Cadaques opens with black currant and apricot — a pairing that reads as sun-warmed stone fruit rather than either note alone. The currant brings tartness and a faint greenness; apricot rounds it with a skin-soft sweetness. Freesia at the heart holds the florality airy and light, not competing with the fruit so much as extending it into the afternoon.
The base leans into warm amber with cedar as a dry wooden counterweight, plus musk that keeps everything close to skin. Beneath the listed accord structure runs a light patchouli trace that rounds the base into something more Riviera-comfortable than purely synthetic. A pleasant warm-weather floral-fruity that fits its Mediterranean inspiration without being demanding.
