What does Sydney Rock Pool smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick summer, with spring next, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. Votes for feminine and masculine are nearly even, so it reads comfortably either way.

The top opens with Australian sandalwood, coconut shell and mineral notes. In the heart, frangipani and jasmine sambac add a soft floral touch while driftwood brings a woody shade. The base of kelp and sea salt gives it a salty, aquatic finish. Creamy and fruity tones keep the sweetness from turning heavy.
