So sway on a branch of ylang-ylang with Chameleon while being caressed by a spicy vanilla breeze from the Indian ocean.
Entre Ciel et Mer by Pierre Guillaume Cruise/Croisiere £144.00
- Key notes:
- ambergris
- sandalwood
- sea salt
- seaweed
- Aromagroups:
- marine
- woody
A marine poem composed wave after wave…
Entre ciel et Mer (“Between sky and sea”) tells a story of Etesian winds, azure skies and flying over seascapes at top speed…
Icy, soaring and powerful, the first whiff feels as though it had been sculpted out of the Meltem – the north wind that blows over the Aegean Sea, with notes of crumpled, water-splashed leaves and the fruity-aromatic nuances of a lavender, pear and white thyme accord.
The scent’s convincing seawater effect is achieved through a molecular distillation of algae from the Pacific, with iodic and animalic notes of white lichen and ambergris.
The dry, almost mineral facets are balanced out with cedar, moss and sandalwood from New Caledonia.
A strikingly good interpretation of the marine theme.
