Onda de Mar Extrait de Parfum

Fantastic scent. Beautiful fruity opening which then settles into a marine, salty dry down. It's sweet, but not enough to be off putting. It's strong for the people around you so take it easy on the sprays. I do 3 small sprays : One on the inside of my arms and one behind the neck. Lasts 12h+ . I noticed i go full noseblind to it after smelling it up close for a few times, so please do not re-apply and possibly choke out some people. Spray it away from your nose and you'll get whiffs of it throughout the day. It's easy to wear if you dial in the sprays. I wore it in hot weather (30°C+) and it turned into a weird-sour-like salty smell. Recommended for Spring and cooler summer days/nighttime. Great release from Christian Provenzano 9/10.

Living by the sea, I have a great fondness for marine scents, but at the same time, my nose has become increasingly demanding over time. When I tried Onda de Mar, I couldn't help but love this fragrance because, in my opinion, it represents the memory of the sea: it's a beautifully balanced scent, with salty notes present but not overpowering, surrounded by delicate fruity, sparkling, and slightly citrusy notes. The hedione note in the heart gives it an intrinsic sensuality that truly makes it wonderful. It made me think of a distant beach vacation, where the water is crystal clear, where you refresh yourself with fruit and cocktails, caressed by the breeze. Excellent longevity and sillage. “Le séducteur” by René Magritte.

Onda de Mar is one of my favorite marine fragrances. The opening hits me with a very juicy, sweet pineapple and on my skin a VERY weird seaweed note, that instantly puts me in a beach vacation mood, while the salty marine notes keep everything fresh and balanced. The lavender adds a clean, slightly aromatic touch that makes the whole composition feel incredibly smooth. As it dries down, it becomes saltier and more oceanic without losing the fruity sweetness. It reminds me a little of Megamare. The performance is fantastic too, with excellent longevity and strong projection. 8/10 (first impressions) 7/10 after i used a while

Quick review for now: 9.3, and very unisex in my opinion. The lavender combined with the seaweed and marine ocean hits really hard at first, yet is gentle. Very complex dry-down due to pineapple and other fruits, and the base notes help extend the duration of it drastically. Not blind buy safe, but worth it to sample at least once due to it's uniqueness. One of the only ocean fragrances that would actually be really good during night-time. This is how I imagine 40 knots would have smelled like if they weren't trying to make it so crowd-appealing.

This just reminds me of Hawaii, i have the fondest memories of eating the juiciest fruit on the beach, mangos, pineapples, coconuts (are coconut a fruit???...) This fragrance is so dank, juicy fruity, and to me absolutely captivating, makes me want to go back to Hawaii. I purchased a sample of megamare to compare side by side, megamare did not have the same “je ne sais quoi” as onda de mar, i think both fragrances are very intriguing, and loud, but onda de mar is the one for me
