Artik Sea

$165.00

Artik Sea is named for cold water and opens accordingly. Marine notes and sea salt in the opening have a clean, mineral quality rather than the synthetic ozone of most aquatics, bergamot providing a brief citrus clarity before the composition settles into its core. Cedarwood and vetiver in the base give the watery accord something dry to rest against, and ambergris provides the warmth that keeps the fragrance from feeling cold or thin in the drydown. This Italian approach to the marine genre leans natural over chemical.

Why We Carry This

Lorenzo Pazzaglia is a small Italian house building in a genre, marine aquatic, that is easy to do badly. Artik Sea earns its place because the mineral quality of the salt note reads as a material choice rather than a shortcut. The ambergris base is the detail that separates it from the commodity tier.
