About

Sailing Day opens with a rush of salty marine and ozonic notes, conjuring the brisk air and infinite blue of the open sea. Hints of seaweed, coriander, and juniper add a subtle herbal dimension, while aldehydes and floral salicylates evoke sunlit spray. The cool, aquatic theme is anchored by ambergris, soft woods, and a touch of iris, creating a sheer, weightless impression that is both modern and quietly sophisticated. The overall effect is exhilarating, clean, and unmistakably breezy.
