Sapore di Mare (Brezza di Mare)

If you don't like aquatics try this one anyway. It smells incredible! It's very refreshing with a beautiful watery note that does not smell like cucumber nor melon (although I believe the company lists watermelon as a note, and it's not listed here). It's so much more than aquatic. It's lightly floral, a tad salty like sweaty skin, and has a sweet vanilla base note, which is not too strong. There's just nothing else like it. Conjures a dip in the cool sea on a sweltering hot day. I'm not an aquatics fan, but when it comes to that category, Brezza di Mari is The One. Disclosure: I wrote this some time ago, but I want to add that I now own a webshop aveparfum.com and stock now this gorgeous fragrance.

I've had this one for a couple of months now. Glad it was finally added to the database. This is a GREAT summer scent! The notes also include bergamot, lemons, limes and a touch of watermelon. I also detect a bit of coconut, even though it's not listed in the notes. It truly is a "sea breeze" I am loving this one!

A light-hearted, refreshing fragrance that sings of summertime and long, lazy days.Not too sweet, very refreshing. No one does hot-weather fragrances as well as the Italian houses.Silage is moderate, longevity about 8 hours

Very prominent watermelon. I also thought I detected some frangipani but it's not listed. This is the smell of Hawaii to me...even without the frangipani! Very nice fragrance :)

Dry, salty with a slightly sweet herbaceousness and citrus freshness. Lasts nicely but does not project very far. "Coastal" is the perfect word for it. I'm not usually a fan of marine scents because they smell synthetic to me but this smells so natural and evokes wonderful summer memories. Feels like sipping a fresh margarita - lime garnished and salt rimmed- and watching the sinking sun after having spent the whole day on the beach - the ocean water dried off your skin but the lingering salt still there, and maybe a bit of sun-warmed sand still between your toes. Extremely reminiscent of California beach late summer evenings.

A wonderful, realistic aquatic with a fantastic dry down that leans marine air fresh and slightly sweet with the addition of vanilla and florals. I detect no sunscreen scent, you are not going to be transported to the tropics with Sapore di Mare. Instead, this smells like the Northern California coastline in the springtime; nature leaning (with synthetics), crisp and easy to wear. Agree with others that this might be your tickets if aquatics are not your thing. Completely unisex. I’m impressed.

I get very little to no watermelon, just lots of calone, hints of honeydew and salty sea breeze. Reminds me of montale sandflowers.

This is strong realistic marine scent. If you like such things, you can try. Definitely not my cup of tea

I knew nothing about this going into my first sniff, so I had no idea it was an aquatic. To put it as kindly as I can, I absolutely do not like aquatics, never have, never will. I am outright fascinated by the notion that anyone does, since I can't relate to it at all. The commercial ones are all intensely synthetic messes to me that lead to literally an instant headache and nausea if I get so much as a tiny waft of unwelcomed sillage. That said, to end on a positive note, since I'm blatantly biased, I realized quickly that this wasn't my thing, but that it did have the most natural aquatic bent to it that I've ever experienced; it did not make me sick, and the two others from this house I've tried so far were not aquatics, and were really great fragrances. So if you like aquatics, I'm sure you'd find this one pleasing...especially as someone who would normally get instantly sick from one, and did not get sick, but was simply ready to move on to the next sample. ...And did so very, very quickly.

I had the same thoughts as these folks below! Not an aquatics fan usually. But this somehow managed to wow me, even though it's totally not weather appropriate, or my genre. Really fresh sea breeze with lots of fresh white florals beneath. Doesn't strike me as synthetic, salty or seaweed (these are the aspects that typically put me off aquatics) Feels like a holiday. I still prefer my frangipanes and citruses in the summertime but I will be using up my sample. Unless anyone wants to trade it! Edit: second testing - getting a seaweed feel. ** This whole line pf brand samples up for swap - UK - get in touch. ***

A very nice ozonic-watery-fruity frag. She has good sillage and longevity.To me water melon is prominent. As simple as she is,this perfume can do a run to many "niche" marine frag. Good value for money. Head:Fresh Sea Notes,Sea Salt. Heart:Rose,Geranium,White Flowers,Watermelon,Melon. Base:White Musk,Vanilla.

Intriguing summer scent.The watermelon and aquatic notes are definitely there.On top there is a gourmand note which is delicious.Is it Zabaglione? An instant mood lifter and perfect for the hottest of summer days!

SALTED WATERMELON Fresh and fun. Not at all overly sweet and cloying. Perhaps the salt just saves it from falling off that cliff. It stays rather close to the skin - so spray liberally.

The aquatic for people that normally don't like aquatics. Light, casual, long-lasting and unisex. Well done and well worth a try.
