What does Sea of Light smell like?

It opens with those three citrus notes, fresh, slightly bitter and green. In the heart, black pepper adds a little spice and jasmine a soft floral touch. Patchouli, vetiver and amber carry the base, keeping the aquatic, green feel while the scent turns a little sweeter and creamy.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick it for daily wear, leisure and the office, with evening and night out chosen less often. Simone Andreoli Moorea and FOMO A Fraghead's Asylum have a close profile.
