Opens with a sharp, slightly bitter petitgrain cut through by bright mandarin, giving it an almost citrus-soapy snap that reads clean without being generic. The heart pulls toward the sea — seaweed and posidonia lend a cool, saline minerality that feels genuinely aquatic rather than synthetic. Santolina adds a quiet herbal dryness that keeps it from turning watery. The cedar-musk-amber dry-down is modest, skin-close, and warm without weight. Projection is light to moderate; sillage fades quickly into a soft personal trail — Best worn in heat, for anyone who wants a no-effort, inoffensive summer skin scent.
Petitgrain-seaweed-musk composition in the Aqva family; lighter sillage.
