Opale

I found a little gem! I do not know what to compare it to! It is a bit salt, a bit spicy and a bit sweet. One whiff and I get the salt, the other I get the sweet and spicy. Sometimes it gets a little bit mustardy and then the next I can smell sweet, spicy flowers. Some might pick up a slight medicial note, but to me it is so faint and fleeting, so it does not bother me at all. It is a very interesting and changing scent and I love that! Give it a try if you can!

Opale conjures up a potent olfactive vision: dusk by the coast, when the sun is sinking but the heat of the day rises off golden, salty skin, seaweed on the breeze tangling with greenery and warm, delicate flowers. I can't explain how but it has a real melancholy to it; this scent isn't the easy simplicity of some coconut sun tan holiday. That's not to say it's not immensely wearable - even for someone who doesn't usually dabble in marine perfumes, the opening is undeniably compelling, and the creamy salt-skin drydown is lovely. At any rate I can't resist a fragrance that has me writing novels in my head, trying to pin down exactly what kind of olfactory snapshot it's summoning.

This was one of the more interesting scents I’ve tried so far this year. The second I put it onto my skin, it morphs into licorice. I don’t get any of the other notes at all. It only lasts about six hours, which isn’t so bad. Layering it with something tart livens it up a bit. It’s not quite a love, but still a solid like. I would definitely try it again if I found a tester or samples.

Interesting aquatic, I feel some kind of massage salong vibe, maybe it is a seawood note that resembles Thai verbena? For aquatics fans or for fans of Italian perfumes.

A beautiful floral marine. Not salty but woody and a bit spicy. A full bottle buy for me!
