What does Falling into the Sea smell like?

It reads as one piece: lemon, grapefruit and bergamot bring the brightness, lychee adds a fruity sweetness and tropical blossoms follow, while sand gives it a dry, aquatic, seaside feel. Floral and sweet accords sit alongside, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither overpowers nor vanishes quickly. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, with sport and office also in the mix. It sits between masculine and feminine.
