Which Should You Buy?
If you're already a fan of D&G Light Blue or TF Neroli Portofino, you'll probably like this. If not, best avoid it. It's a fresh, uplifting unisex scent, but don't expect it to stick around for ages. A divisive one, but those who love it, really love it.
Perfume Parlour's version of Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Sea. The sunny bergamot-and-neroli-blossom over watery cedar that made the original a clean summer favourite is captured, with Sea Mist holding the neroli a touch fuller and longer than the modest designer EDP.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and sport, though its poor longevity means reapplications are needed for a full day. It's too light and fleeting for formal events or a romantic date where a more impactful scent is usually preferred.
