What does Marasma smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on only a few votes. There are no season or occasion votes, so its best moment is hard to pin down, but the fresh, aquatic build leans towards warmer weather. It reads unisex, sitting comfortably on anyone.

The top opens with pineapple, passion fruit, bergamot, cardamom and finger lime, bright and fruity. The heart turns aquatic and lightly spicy with sea daffodil, artemisia, black pepper and salt. The base of patchouli, gaiac wood, amberwood and cedarwood settles it on a woody floor; overall it comes across fresh, sweet and a little creamy.
