Zest Marin

Je reçu ça aujourd’hui pour 70€ les 50ml heureusement, ça ne vaut pas plus ,jolie parfum mais le prix initial et complètement ridicule ça resemble a dior homme sport mais plus doux et Très musqué ,ça reste très agréable mais il faut vraiment le payer pas très cher sourtout ne pas acheter sans le sentir ne vaut pas le prix

This is very nice, but it does seem to me to harken back to the 90s trend of aquatic fougeres. It does pull masculine, and it makes me think of the way my dad would smell fresh out of the shower. He used Irish spring soap, and it has a little bit of that ultra-clean vibe. That being said, I don't feel as though this kind of scent is worth the price you would have to pay for it. I definitely suggest testing it out, and if it inspires nostalgia in you like it does in me, then maybe this would be the perfect fragrance for you. Otherwise, it seems a tad dated, and not unique enough to warrant such a high pricetag.

I’ve been generally impressed with Fragrance du Bois so far...London Oud and Oud Vert Intense are among my favorites over the last few years. Zest Marin is lacking the oud found in other FdB offerings - making it less expensive and a lot less interesting. This reminds me of the creamy citrus-vanilla of MFK’s Aqua Vitae with a generous dash of Bvlgari Aqva-style calone thrown in. Perfectly nice and absolutely fine for the summer but just not something worth the price. Save your money for London Oud if you want aquatic done right - Fragrance du Bois makes some stunners but this isn’t one of them.

So disappointing to me. This is very citrusy, but it smells cheap and forgettable. It's also a Grandpa fragrance and so it is more masculine than feminine to my nose despite the fact I love a unisex fragrance and often wear some marketed to men. I had a sizeable decant, and tested it several times over a week, it seemed to be very bright and strong initially like a zesty deodorant spray. It fades out fast and about 20 minutes later it softens to something reminiscent of a musky, citrus room spray. It's sad giving a negative review to a respected house that has created some great fragrances, but this is not a good perfume, it makes me think of a ladies bathroom, the smell of the cleaning products mixed with a musky perfume blended in the air by the bathroom attendant.

This is barbershop meets marine. Oceanic notes mixed with old School shaving creams. Guess it's the mix of Lavender and Vanilla that gives it that barbershop touch to it. However, after just 2 hours this is just a strong musk scent. Nothing else but 100% musk. Such a dissappointment that you get served a musk bomb for that pricetag.

Sophia G. (two below) summarized it very well, little to add!
