Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with sharp bergamot cutting through cool, saline sea notes — clean but not cheap-clean. Rosemary and geranium sharpen the heart without going herbal or loud. Then the incense arrives: smoky, resinous, unmistakably the backbone of the whole thing. Patchouli grounds the dry-down with just enough dark earth to keep it from floating away. Projection is moderate-to-strong for the first few hours; sillage trails with that incense-marine signature long after the top fades — Warm-weather evenings, dates, anyone who wants aquatic fragrance with actual depth behind it.
Opens with a burst of watery peach that softens almost immediately into a clean, jasmine-forward floral heart — rose and lily of the valley adding quiet brightness without competing for attention. Cedar grounds the dry-down just enough to keep it from reading as purely soapy, and a light musk anchors the whole thing close to skin. Projection stays modest after the first hour; sillage is a polite trail rather than a statement. Sheer, uncomplicated, and genuinely wearable — made for warm-weather days when something fresh and feminine is exactly right.
