About

Imagine inhaling the invigorating scent of wild herbs and citrus hit by a sea breeze - that's Marlin. It opens with herbal wormwood and sharp bergamot, softened quickly by aromatic lavender. A juicy plum note adds a touch of unexpected sweetness as it settles, before drying down to a calming, resinous base of fir, cedar, and warm tonka bean. It's clean, green, and wonderfully grounded.
