When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection, frequently described as 'excessive' and 'in your face', make it too imposing for most office environments or formal events. However, its fresh, aquatic nature is well-suited for casual wear, warm days, and potentially sports, though its intensity might still be too much for high activity.

About

This opens with a powerful, almost bracing blast of sea-drenched cypress and an earthy greenness from galbanum, immediately transporting you to a wild coast. As it evolves, the heart reveals fresh white florals, particularly jasmine and gardenia, alongside a distinct, salty seaweed note that many find incredibly realistic. The dry down settles into a mossy, amber base with a clean musk, retaining an airy, woody aquatic character that lingers for ages.
