Mr Maritime

First of all, before I get into anything, WOW this is a unique freshie, I never would've thought Aromatics (in the form of Rhubarb in this), would've went so well with Mango, this is easily in My top 3 summer/fresh fragrances of all time as of reviewing this. It opens up with a fresh citrus and the fruitiness of the Mango is on full display while being supported by a faint watercress which is quite pleasant, as it dries down, the Mango barely dies down, and the Rhubarb comes in for one of the most refreshing scent profiles I've experienced thus far, it's hard to explain but this fragrance is fresh, uplifting, airy, and smooth all simultaneously, and unlike countless other fragrances I've smelt *cough cough Mango Skin*, the Mango in this scent lasts throughout 90% of the lifetime and not just the opening. In terms of projection it's a loud to medium projection on my skin for atleast 2 hours and then settles down to a medium projecting scent for the remaining lifetime, of which it lasts around 8-[ hours on my skin which is amazing, this also leans heavily masculine to me personally but I wouldn't be opposed to a woman rocking this. Overall I think this is definitely worth a try (as I'm against blind buying), but if you do get a full bottle of this, for the quality of this freshie, it's an absolute bargain, another great release from Omar/Atrium. Final Verdict 9.8/10

What a great summer fragrance! This one starts out very citrusy with a burst of green mango, bergamot & rhubarb. Fresh & sweet without every being sugary or headache inducing. This is a more palatable mango, not a super ripe or overly sweet mango like you find in something like God of Fire but a slightly tart mango that you can almost taste, never too loud or overbearing and it is perfectly blended with the rhubarb. Aquatic notes sit just behind these opening scents giving it a bright, summer ready feel. However it's the dry down where this one truly shines... Is it mango? Yes. Is it rhubarb? Yes. Is it aquatic? Yes. But the star of the show, at least for me is the tonka bean. Yes, this is how tonka should be done, rich and creamy but not too in your face like you find in other fragrances such as AHS Eau Extreme and much more suited to warm summer weather. The way it is presented and plays along with the sandalwood give this fragrance an amazing wearing experience to what could easily have been a very linear and unremarkable fragrance. Great perfumery on this one! Overall 9/10, spring & summer scent, full bottle worthy. 8-10 hours longevity with a medium-loud projection.

This is a true work of art with all of the qualities I look for in a niche fragrance: a non-alcoholic opening, a smooth yet complete transition from top notes to bottom notes, and a unique/creative scent profile. I do wish the Mr. Maritime bottle was white or cloudy instead of clear. In my opinion, the clear bottle lacks a certain "je ne sais quoi." The mango and rhubarb are major players here, but all of the top and mid notes work together to create a sweet and sour (tropical?), fruity, aquatic, fragrance. Once the fruit fades you are left with a classic woody base supported with amber. Truly a work of art. The performance on my skin is unfortunately weak, the beauty is in the scent profile. Atrium's atomizers are a bit strange to me. Not sure if it is custom-made or if they get it from a general supplier but it feels like the vaporizer has trouble spraying uniformly. Not sure how to describe this issue, it's almost like a water sprinkler on a bottle; throttling the release of the liquid. Instead of getting squirts or sprays, I get an unusual mixture of both. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this by design? My Mr. Fragrant bottle is the same way.

I just received my bottle today, USA, and it really meets all my expectations, at least for an initial observation. Truly, the mango is the star of the show. Its presence remains well into the dry down. For me it is more fruity than aquatic but it really is a great summer fragrance. The fruits are light, the whole fragrance is light. Sweet but not too sweet. "Fresh" really sums this fragrance up in one word. Although it is summer here, I wore this in a comfortable climate controlled setting. Not a projection beast but it did remain with me through out the work day. I suspect that had I been outside it would have pushed out more in the heat. Lastly, I'm not a fan of comparing fragrances to other fragrances but in this case there is no need to, I feel that this is a stand alone fragrance. Looking forward to more from Atrium. I have their three releases so far and this one is my favorite.

I'm a huge fan of this so far. I was just so intrigued by the note breakdown, and was like "mango? rhubarb? I HAVE to get this!!!" and it has turned out quite well in the first day. It smells great in climate controlled, but seems to push out with more projection in the heat. I really enjoy it, it may be new for me, but I keep catching myself going for sniffs of it. The mango and rhubarb is just really well done with the entire drydown. I'll have some fun with it and then save it if it's only going to be released once :) I try and keep myself from getting backup bottles of stuff and spending way more than I already do on fragrances lol but I do plan to get Omar's other two releases, they sound like they are good.
