Baldessarini Nautic Spirit

A hidden gem if you want a different summer fragance (no citrus opening) with a non linear/flat smell. The opening is very aquatic and tropical, I got over all passionfruit/maracuya in that phase. Then start a nice sparkly ginger that reactivate the frangance with a creamy cardamom, kind of spicy stage. It still keeps the tropical feel and cardamom all the time but became more elegant and clean with the final musk/sandalwood till it fade. So a tropical-aquatic-woody/spicy-clean fragance, like being in a yatch achored by the pier of a tropical island.

I put 30 fragrances in my fridge in June. This one grew into my favorite. It's been cool this summer, so maybe it's luscious nature matched the weather. Not sure if I'd love this during a blisteringly hot summer.

Truly a fantastic fragrance! Fresh and fruity. Like a summer breeze on a tropical beach. One of my absolute favorites during spring and summer. I love the bottle design as well.

Got this today, sprayed it on my hand, now 2 hours later it smells very good, it does not smell cheap or generic to me, it has a warm fresh feel to it.

Baldessarini Nautic Spirit opens with a moderate projection of sweet fruity and oceanic accords. The passion fruit and mango are the two sweet fruity notes that are noticeable, the passion fruit is one step ahead and it is slightly more prominent than the mango. The seawater comes across as fresh oceanic breeze with a pinch of salt. The mid notes, curry leaf, cardamon, and ginger are the spicy accords, being the ginger the most noticeable of the three. The three base notes, musk, patchouli, and sandalwood are very shy, and, except for the sandalwood, they are overpowered by the fruity and spicy accords. The sandalwood adds a soft woody accord. The fragrance is relatively linear, the opening notes continue into the dry-down. Once Baldessarini Nautic Spirit has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a sweet fruity (passion fruit, mango) and oceanic (breezy and slightly salty) fragrance with spicy and soft woody accords. The fragrance feels casual, comforting, delectable, fruity, gentle, gourmand, inviting, mild, modern, natural, sweet, unisex, warm, slightly woody, and very pleasant.
