Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - De La Mer Extrait de Parfum

A windswept, mineralic marine that is crisp, herbal and quietly assertive. For those who want a sea scent with true texture and depth, not just blue freshness.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Artik Sea Extrait

This marine beast is intensely divisive. While some find its icy, salty realism invigorating and artistic, others recoil from its overwhelming, almost 'biohazard' level of marine intensity. Go for this if you want to stand out, but be warned, it's not for the faint-hearted.

Season and Occasion Fit

De La Mer Extrait de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

De La Mer's ozonic, salty marine and citrus facets make it ideal for spring and summer, evoking sea breezes and freshness. The herbal, mossy drydown gives enough structure for early fall, but it lacks the warmth for cold winter days.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, airy and inoffensive profile is perfect for office and casual daytime wear, and works well for sport due to its freshness. Projection is pronounced but the character is understated, making it less suited for formal or intimate date nights.

Artik Sea Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Given its 'nuclear' performance and strong, distinctive marine and salty accords, Artik Sea is far too assertive for the office. It's best suited for casual, outdoor settings or sport where its intense projection can be appreciated without overwhelming others. Some might find it suitable for a bold date night, though it's not universally appealing.
