Eau de Parfum

Olivier Durbano Turquoise Eau de Parfum is a unisex scent that stays fresh and aquatic, deepened by resinous and woody touches. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. Daily wear and leisure lead, and it sits comfortably at the office too. It leans slightly masculine, though a fair share of voters read it as feminine. It opens with juniper, coriander, pink pepper and elemi resin, a cool, spicy and resinous start. In the heart, lily, lotus and kelp bring a floral, watery feel. In the base, honey, myrrh and ambergris soften it and settle it onto a warm ground. Elementals Water and Maria Candida Gentile Finisterre have a close profile.

Othoca

Acqua di Sardegna · 2017

The heart holds juniper, algae, costus and lavender; the algae brings the watery feel, while lavender and costus add a powdery softness. In the base, vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood and amber settle the scent into a warm, woody finish.
