What does Salty Amber smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it stays close and doesn't fill a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daily, business and leisure wear. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it reads as genuinely in between.

The salty, aquatic side comes from seawater and kelp. Cardamom and myrtle add a spicy, green freshness. Amber brings sweetness, while patchouli adds an earthy depth. Fresh, floral and aquatic accords lead the character.
