What does Marine smell like?

The top holds petitgrain, calone, aldehydes, vervain and Spanish lemon, giving a clean, bright start. Clary sage, rosemary, geranium and iris in the heart bring floral, green and lightly spicy touches. The base of white musk, oakmoss, cedar, patchouli and tonka bean leaves a woody footing, with a synthetic edge running through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It is positioned as a masculine scent. Lorenzo Pazzaglia Black Sea and Acqua di Portofino Sail have a close profile.
