Please mention any scent that immediately strikes you as having all the aforementioned qualitites.
Also, has anyone tried ‘Aria di Mare’? I read good things about it but is too expensive and rare to get. I would love to hear someone’s personal experience with it.
I would also love to know anyone’s experience with Creed Erolfa. It’s supposed to be one of the best aquatic, marine type scents.
I don’t have a favorite, although I think Mare by Creative Universe smells authentically like the beach, and I’ve often heard that New West, one of the first marine scents, is quite good and some say the best of the lot.
