What does By the Sea Man smell like?

It opens with peppermint and salt, while the citrus and green accords keep it bright. The heart brings violet, gaiac wood and geranium, adding a spicy, woody feel, and the base of musk, sandalwood, tonka bean and amber softens it with a light sweetness. A slightly synthetic sheen is part of its character.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. Voters rate it well for the price. Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) and Parfums de Marly Percival have a close profile.
