Maria Candida Gentile Finisterre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Maria Candida Gentile's Finisterre carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Finisterre is a divisive, hyper-realistic aquatic that evokes the raw, bracing essence of a wild coastline. Expect either adoration for its artistry or a sharp recoil from its challenging, savoury character. Not for the faint-hearted or those seeking a generic freshie.

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 moderate performance and unique, natural scent profile make it suitable for casual wear, especially during the day. While some find it office-friendly, its unconventional aquatic notes might be too polarising for formal or intimate date settings. It's a great choice for active outdoor pursuits, evoking the raw outdoors.

About

Finisterre plunges you into a cold, deep marine experience, far from a light sea breeze. Initial bracing waves of salty water crash against an aromatic forest, where pine needles mingle with a distinctive, almost medicinal herbal quality, perhaps immortelle. As it dries, an earthy, resinous warmth from sandalwood and a subtle, musky ambergris emerges, grounding the aquatic intensity but maintaining a wild, untamed coastal vibe. It's truly a beach in a bottle, albeit a rugged, windswept one.
