Marine Sel

Gorgeous scent. I love the Tokyomilk scents that have a salt note in them. First time I smelled it, it reminded me of one of the many beaches south of Half Moon Bay. The ones you have to scramble down a cliff with various plants and shrubs... more specifically it reminds me of the cloudy days by these beaches when its quiet and you can smell the salty water and sand, the water mist intensifying the shrub/plant smells from the cliffs. And its just you watching and listening to those powerful ocean waves. Then there's still a certain warmth to this fragrance- now I realize its probably the white woods. I miss the ocean so much and this scent immediately takes me to those memories.

This is one of my all time favorite perfumes. This is salty, aquatic, dirty, and green all at the same time. The projection is moderate and longevity is good. I can still smell this on myself beyond 6 hrs. On me this scent starts very salty and aquatic and dries down to a very mossy, dirt, and green scent with a slight hint of salt. Scents with that soil tincture perform very well on my skin and never feel animalic. For me this scent comes across as earthy, clean, and green like a fresh forest near the sea. Love this scent with all my heart and am heartbroken it is discontinued but Diptyque Philosykos EDP is VERY close!!

Agree wholeheartedly with the fig leaf note. I get a salted cucumber/fig leaf blend with a light earthy quality. I actually love this scent. It's light and incredibly natural smelling. It reminds me of early spring on Long Island. The smell of the ocean mixed with the smell of wet soil with the addition of fig leaves and some cucumber. Ok, fig trees don't grow on Long Island but this may be a greenhouse full of fig trees by the ocean on Long Island. It's also a great value.

This is a fig perfume. Why does the label lying to us? Fig milk/leaf, soil, wood (probably cedar), and some beachy salt, sure. It's absolutely lovely but why market it this way? This could have been a rival to Philosykos in the day, but the marketing was all wrong. Anyway, it's great. I'm sad it's discontinued. Bring it back and change the name to "Figue de Sel" or "Marine Figue". Steal all the customers away from "Debaser" because this is better.

I've never actually sailed the high seas in a clipper ship, but this is what I imagine it would smell like. It's a fresh, bracing scent that makes you want to go out and do something, maybe piracy. The pine wood and salt are robust, but don't last as long as I would like. Even so, it's still one of my favorites.
