What does 23NAO - North Atlantic Ocean smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions that come up most. Voters read it as more masculine than feminine, though plenty also call it classic or modern.

The scent runs fresh, aquatic and green, with sea breeze, plankton and ozone suggesting the shore. Bergamot brightens it, while black pepper and nutmeg add a spicy edge. Cedarwood, vetiver and sandalwood set the woody base.
