Seasalt & Neroli

I picked this up in M&S after enjoying a sniff in there and then promptly left it on my shelf unloved. A challenge for a number randomiser to chose my fragrance landed on this one and I reluctantly picked it off my shelf of delights and gave it a spray. This was absolutely delightful and is such an amazing fragrance especially for the price. I have been able to smell this on myself all day and even a student commented when I walked into a classroom. (In a good way) I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a dupe of its pricer namesake but I’d definitely buy this again. And at £7 for 30ml (and I think £10 for 100ml) this is something I’d definitely buy again - a total hit

I really like this perfume, it's subtle and inoffensive which is perfect for going for dinner or being in the office. I definitely smell the salt, a bit of the mandarin and neroli and it is definitely musky and powdery. It's sweet, not sickly but it makes it smell quite feminine. Its definitely a fresh marine fragrance that when you spray lightly just makes you smell clean. If you spray a lot then the salty smell is a bit overpowering. It's the kind of spray you might want to have a little travel spray of on a hot day to feel refreshed. You could wear it in winter too because of the sweetness but it isn't cosy so it's more for summer.

This fragrance is like stepping out into the early morning sunshine and straight onto a beach. It's uncomplicated: clean, aquatic and uplifting. I have never met a high street fragrance I liked, but this was my absolute pick from an M&S discovery set that was gifted to me. I always have a bottle handy now. It doesn't have great longevity, but for the price point I'll happily reapply throughout the day. My friend wears CK One and I think of this as its classy, pared back, grown up sibling.

On first spray I could swear it smells like coconut. It is thick, sweet and syrupy and I agree with the person below that Sea Salt & Neroli is very similar to PR Olympea. Luckily it isn't too salty, Olympea has a note that makes my stomach churn, I suspect the ambergris, and this luckily doesn't have the same effect. It is not as strong or as long lasting as Olympea, but it is a great budget option. I love that M&S do sample packs and I will definitely be getting a bottle.

I found this while clearing and rearranging my fragrance shelves - gosh I forgot how much I liked it ! Very easy to wear, fresh and soft but with a nice edge to it. Settles to a lovely warm floral vibe. I can smell the Neroli, its gentle but it is there - mostly in the dry down. The mandarin is so pretty too, not over the top. All in all 8/10 great day time puffer.
