Salty Amber Cologne

I knew I’d love this scent before I even smelt it... and I was right! It was love at first 'sniff'. Sea breeze, salty water, seaweeds (aromatic, marine aroma without the unpleasant 'rotten eggs'-part), driftwood (although it's not one of the notes) - that's what I get from Salty Amber. It smells like the warm skin after sea bathing and being in the sun. It's airy, fresh, salty, slightly sweet, warm and very sensual. And surprisingly the performance of this JM Cologne is very impressive; it lasts on my skin for 6h+ and maybe it's not a beast mode, but I get whiffs of it - especially while being outside. I'm so happy that I added Salty Amber to my collection and I only hope that maybe one day it becomes a part of Jo Malone's permanent collection, because it's SOOOO GOOD!

The patchouli here is very prominent , but I love it. On my skin the seaweed is very soft. Along is this is seawater , with very light cardamom spice . Something almost comes off minty giving it a cooling quality.This reminds me of a hot summer evening when the sun is beginning to set, location is in Ft Lauderdale FL, the sky is purple and pink and walking along the jetties with the water splashing upon the rocks and getting sprays of the water in your face. It’s super nice and aquatic evening scent . Unisex Wore this during my intense leg day workout and it still stuck around despite the humidity outside and all my sweating. It’s Florida approved . Too bad JM only sells 30 ml and it’s probably hard to find now .

Second review because things changed I used to love this. My bottle was close to half empty cause I wanted to save it for longer since it’s a limited edition. Then one day I ordered a sample of Zoologist Squid. I tried and had the worst migraine and nausea I ever got from a fragrance. After that I was never able to wear Salty Amber again. Anytime that I consider wearing it I give up after one little sniff at the atomizer. It reminds me too much of Squid and it’s almost like my body rejects it instantly. Sad! I’m keeping it around, maybe one day I’ll be able to wear it again.

I love the whole collection, and this one is the best. Beautiful, light, fresh but not boring. They should make it permanent, this is really good! It has a good longevity compared to other fragrances I own from JM, and projection is ok. I might get a backup bottle of this since is a limited edition and I can’t remember any other fragrance that smells close to this. I’ve been using it on hot days and it feels really refreshing and elegant

I get so many compliments on this one! A fave. 🧜🏼♀️
