What does Black Sea smell like?

It lasts very strongly and projects strongly. Most voters pick summer and spring; autumn follows, while winter is the least chosen season. It suits leisure and daytime wear, and also gets votes for evenings and the office. It reads more masculine than feminine, with a modern feel.

It opens with aquatic notes, salt and bergamot, kept bright by myrtle liqueur and ozone. Orange blossom and ylang-ylang add a soft floral note at the heart, while black sea salt and marine notes hold the salty air. The base of white musk, algae, oakmoss, patchouli and ambergris settles into a green, woody finish.
