What does L'Oud Marin smell like?

The top notes of kelp and laminaria give an aquatic, green start. In the heart, styrax, cocoa, amyris and nagarmotha pull that coolness towards something resinous, earthy and faintly sweet. The base of vetiver, Virginia cedar wood and oud builds a woody frame, while vanilla adds creaminess and beeswax and ambergris bring an animal warmth.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays close to the skin and lasts a long time. The number of votes is small, so this impression is not conclusive.
