Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a bright, zesty tangelo note—a hybrid of tangerine and pomelo—paired with a distinct but non-cloying coconut. The sea notes provide an immediate blast of freshness that feels airy rather than salty at the start.
After roughly 45 minutes, the citrus recedes, allowing a green, herbal heart to emerge. The seaweed note adds a realistic oceanic texture, while geranium and yarrow provide a structured, slightly floral masculinity that keeps the scent from becoming a pure gourmand.
The final phase is dominated by a smooth blend of amberwood and tonka bean. The musk ensures the fragrance remains clean, while the tonka provides a subtle, creamy sweetness that echoes the coconut from the opening, lasting well into the 8th hour.
