6 fragrances inspired by the ocean

Aerin Gardenia Rattan EDP is as fresh as it gets. Featuring a blend of florals like gardenia, tuberose and tiare Tahiti, and paired with wet marine notes, this spritz is summery without being fruity, and is fun to wear without being too young. It also looks impressive on your desk or dresser.

If you’re dreaming of cruising around Italy, then you’ll want to add Giorgio Armani Air Di Gioia EDP to cart immediately. This delicate spritz captures the energy of a gorgeous day spent on the Mediterranean, and brings together a mix of peony, mandarin-neroli (dubbed as a “salty floral” by the brand), moss and patchouli. Who knew air could smell so good?

Bulgari Aqua Pour Homme Atlantique EDT may be a scent for men, but we think it wears beautifully for women, too. Inside, you’ll find a top note of sea spray, middle note of sea amber, and a base of ambergris, which is packaged up neatly in a rounded bottle that looks just like a drop of water.

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne is something you’ll absolutely adore as it is equal parts elegant, timeless and alluring to wear. Besides earthy sage and fresh sea salt, there’s also the introduction of ambrette seeds that smell light and musky for a sense of warmth, like the hot sun on your back when you’re going for dip in the ocean.

L’Artisan Parfumeur Batucada EDT may look sleek, but the juice inside is much more vibrant. The top notes contain accords of sweet and sour caipirinha (yes, the cocktail), and is paired with tiare flower, ylang ylang, coconut water and marine notes. Overall, it’s delicious, sophisticated and interesting from first spritz to dry down.

Blasted Heath EDP is one of our favourite Penhaligon’s fragrances as the composition is modern but not too quirky. From the top, there’s aquatic accord, seaweed absolute and clary sage, which settles nicely into green leaves and tobacco absolute and finishes with patchouli, vetiver and musk.
