Salt Air

I absolutely love this. I've been searching for a marine scent that wouldn't break the bank and wouldn't be too perfume-y like Cool Water or other aquatic scents from the 90s. This fit the bill. Like others have mentioned this smells like an east coast ocean- crisp and clean, not a suntan oil beach scent. This is the scent of walking beside the ocean in the morning in the winter. There's something cold about it that is enchanting. I also love the discontinued "Pure Turquoise" by Ralph Lauren and found some shower gel online. I'm really enjoying the shower gel layered with the Salt Air. For a more "beach/ suntan" scent, I've enjoyed layering Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess over the Salt Air. I'm still looking for a perfect marine scent but this is getting me closer and allowing me to experiment.

I think what polarizes this scent is how this dries down on the skin for people. To me, on my skin, this scent is reminiscent of that comforting smell of finally drying off after a long day at the beach. It is very aquatic, it has a summer vacation vibe, almost like I just slathered on sunscreen and can feel my hair frizz from the humidity. It is a very simple scent. Demeter is one note, and that is what I love about it. Add this scent to any aquatic or light floral EDP and you create more complexity, the saltiness is divine and adds to many other scents well. I added this scent to D&B Light Blue and there is no turning back, it smells amazing!

to me it smells pretty much exactly like my skin after a day at the beach. a little musky, a little salty, a little sweet, some lingering sunscreen. very happy because i'm kind of obsessed with how my skin in particular smells in that scenario, but finding something similar in perfumery feels like trying to find a needle in a haystack blindfolded. so glad i decided to try this one despite copious negative reviews across different sites. low projection makes sense for this kind of fragrance, no issues with longevity in winter temperatures. will for sure layer well with other fragrances i find need salt

Aquatics are sometimes disparaged by perfume aficionados, but they are my dirty (or not-so-dirty) little secret, and this is one of my favourites. To my nose, this is a salty-sweet floral in a fresh sea breeze. It's a beautiful smell of freedom to me, like walking along ocean cliffs in summer. Uplifting, and inspiring. EDIT: In the dry-down, the smell of seaweed is quite noticeable; I personally love this, it's part of the scent's authenticity for me, but it may not appeal to everyone.

LOVE. You're taking a walk on a foggy NorCal beach and you're wearing the kind of sunscreen that comes out of a spray can but it's unscented. Salt Air smells like negative ions evaporating into the air from the ocean. This is the best scent I've tried from Demeter. It's unobtrusive and atmospheric and lasts quite a while. The only problem, like with other Demeters is that it is a little oily coming out of the atomizer.
