Marine Sel unfolds as a deeply naturalistic scent with a dominant fig leaf character that surprises many due to its omission from the official notes. While initially promising a clean, salty aquatic profile, it quickly reveals itself as a lush, green fig-centered fragrance, conjuring images of shaded seaside groves, damp earth, and drifting woods. The sensation is both breezy and enveloping—reminiscent of early spring on Long Island or a quiet, misty coastal cliff walk. The dry down carries subtle marine and mineral salt undertones, but these remain subtle and secondary to the fig core. Its fragility is evident in the moderate longevity and moderate sillage, making it ideal for daytime wear, particularly in summer. The scent is unisex in appeal and possesses a dreamy, almost nappy quality that invites relaxation and imagination, as if floating just above the shore.
