End of the Aquatic Age
Its easy to pick out the head notes of mandarin and salt, but after that things get a bit more tricky.
Grapefruit - yes, but rose & jasmin, thyme & black pepper? All three pyramids I've copied out into my notes suggest totally different things in the heart phase, and while all of them contain some truths none of them can be relied on.
When wearing this it comes across to me as a salt fruity-aquatic, with pepper grapefruit and herbal overtones. It's spiny on the outside and soft in the centre where acrid and fluid textures meet.
The note pyramids come together again in the base to agree on moss patchouli and sandal. It takes only a short hour or two to go from mandarin to moss and leaves behind itself a coarse smelling mossy salt.
(This is real oakmoss here in all its starkness.) I'm not sure that chypre's a good base for an aquatic perfume, they aren't suited together, despite the salty link.
What is certain is that it was released five years later than Cool Water. Horizon's form of aquatic genre, species salt follows in a style that had run its course and, smelling a bit old and dated would within a year be blown away by CK One.
