What does Unda Maris 8 smell like?

It opens with tonka bean, patchouli, benzoin and vanilla, yet the scent reads more fresh and green than sweet. Aquatic notes, myrtle, geranium and nutmeg sit in the heart, while myrtle, citron, eucalyptus and jasmine carry the base. Spicy, woody, resinous and faintly smoky accords add an edge to the sea-air feel.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn a close third and winter the least chosen season. Leisure is the most named setting, followed by night out and evening. It leans masculine, though a good share of voters find it feminine. Acqua di Portofino Sail and Amouage Lineage have a close profile.
