What does Mare Nostrum - Aura Maris smell like?

It opens with bergamot and mandarin orange, softened by floral and fruity notes. In the heart, jasmine and narcissus sit alongside aromatic woods and patchouli. The base settles into woody notes, musk and amber. The overall impression is fresh, aquatic and green, with a faint spicy thread.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter is rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Masculine and feminine votes run close, so it sits comfortably between the two. Afnan Perfumes Turathi (Blue) and Birkholz Portraits of Portofino have a close profile.
