Black Tide Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, unique, and utterly nostalgic, Bobbi Brown Beach is either your Holy Grail of sunscreen scents or a scrubber. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's summer in a bottle.
Black Tide chases Lorenzo Pazzaglia Black Sea's famously realistic salty-marine accord, and gets close on the opening - sea salt and ozone are convincing. It flattens out faster through the drydown than the niche original, losing some of the mossy, ambergris-heavy depth, but as a summer beach scent for a fraction of the price it delivers.
