Angel Schlesser Instictive Marine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie. Instictive Marine opens with Sea Water, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. Angel Schlesser's Instictive Marine carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive marine-aquatic for some, a daily driver for others. Expect a fresh ocean breeze with a surprisingly sweet twist; some find it leans masculine, others a cooling, respectable unisex scent. Don't expect groundbreaking originality, but it's a solid warm-weather reach.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean, and moderate sillage makes it highly suitable for daily wear, particularly in an office setting where it commands respect without being overpowering. The marine and aquatic notes also make it a fantastic casual and sport choice, especially in warmer weather. It's less ideal for formal settings due to its distinctly casual freshness.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dive into Instinctive Marine and you're met with an initial burst of bracing, salty sea water, instantly refreshing. As it settles, a clean, aromatic lavender emerges, perfectly blending with the aquatic notes. The base introduces a creamy, slightly sweet tonka bean that tempers the marine edge, adding an unexpected warmth without losing its fresh character. It's an interesting dance between cool oceanic and inviting sweetness.
