Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 intimate sillage and weak longevity make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual daytime wear where it won't overpower. It's less suited for formal events due to its relaxed nature and won't last through a full date night, though it's pleasant for a quick meet-up.

About

Sel Océan washes over you with a gentle, breezy sweetness. A whisper of sea salt gives way to the delicate, honeyed scent of honeysuckle, beautifully balanced by the clean, green nuances of lily of the valley. It settles into a soft, slightly woody, and musky drydown that evokes a tranquil seaside garden rather than a raw, briny ocean.
