I share Ozymandias’s review: it smells like ointment, that cream for muscle pain. It’s very hard to describe; I don’t dislike it but I don’t like it much, I use it very little and only at home, because I have the feeling that on the street no one likes it. WARNING, it’s not bad, on the contrary, it’s a work of art in my opinion, very natural and with first-class ingredients. It’s a true Niche, but it’s something difficult to wear.
I think limiting this perfume only to its recreation of the sea is unfair, as Acqua di Sale smells like many other things. The first time I tested it, I frowned. What does this have to do with the sea? I found sense in a previous review saying it reminds me of Caron pour Homme. Canoe by Dana kept coming to my mind all the time. It must be clear that it has a classic fern base, although it’s in that sweet and herbal point underneath. Very herbal, I’d say, with herbs that suggest the sea, like rosemary. They say it’s myrtle, well. The truth is that above all it’s all salt spray. A lot of salt, you can’t lose sight of what it’s called. Whoever tries it must get rid of commercial references like Acqua di Gio; it has nothing to do with it, it’s a genre in itself. Here there is sea, a gentle mountain breeze, algae, and if you insist, a bit of fish, all with touches of a cream made by a witch with herbs from the cliff. It’s not an easy aroma nor for beginners; it surprises, with all the good and bad it has. It’s one of the few times its price is justified. Here everything comes together: good component quality, a unique aroma, and excellent performance. The presentation is simple, elegant, and tasteful, including a sprayer with cap, funnel for decanting, vial to carry it, and apply it as a roll-on, and even an instruction booklet. No complaints, everything is great. As it’s not a traditional aquatic, its use is versatile; here freshness is not immediate but suggested. Its composition is monolithic but playful: sometimes salty gusts, other times balsamic, and sometimes its sweet side. Exceptional in every way.
Acqua di Sale by Profumum Roma has excellent quality and great performance, but there are other factors that influence preference. It’s an evocative, marine, algal aroma with a salty sensation, beach, and sand, with a slightly soapy touch from the myrtle. It’s fairly linear, robust in aroma, longevity, and projection. Although it’s a beast, Salaria by Giardino Benessere or Costarela by Carner Barcelona cover a similar field with a more pleasant twist and at a much lower price, without diminishing this perfume in any way. Its merit is having set a precedent in 1996, becoming a ‘legendary’ aroma and glorified by the community. It’s worth trying it and its derivatives; a sea and beach aroma in warm times or of nostalgia is always welcome well. Note: 7.5/10.
Is it the best fragrance in my collection? It’s the most expensive (unless my madness has raised it a couple of points) and of such high quality that only a fool would question it. It’s very peculiar and you need to know how it works before buying. Watch out, I mean the performance, because the aroma has no discussion. If this smells bad to you, maybe you need to see a specialist. They trapped an idyllic sea in a bottle: not the depths or a storm, but a marina with white sailboats, the sun drying salt on the sand and algae, plus the vegetation of the cliffs. It’s amazing that you keep your nose on your wrist all the time. I tested a sample and knew I was lost. Maybe you won’t like it because you don’t like the sea or sailboats, but you have to be careful with the performance. Being an extract, it’s like an oil (typical of Profumum Roma); it can stain clothes or overwhelm you in extreme heat. I don’t see it for extreme heat, although it evokes summer. Also, it’s very stately and elegant to wear with bermudas; if you want to make the most of it, dress up well. For cool summer nights and spring! The performance is a beast! If you overapply, you’ll regret it. If not, you’ll enjoy it like a dwarf.
What a horror! It smells like the dentist, anesthesia, and a 3-in-1 lubricant, so oily you might as well grease the bike or the lock. Unbearable smell in its maximum expression. It’s inexplicable that it costs what it does and smells this way. Someone compared it to Vick Vaporub and they’re right. Don’t look for marine freshness or to smell good; here it just smells weird at an outrageous price.
One of the best perfumes that exist. For aroma, quality, and exclusivity, it has no rival. Acqua di Sale doesn’t smell like the sea; neither does Megamare, only Heeley’s Sel Marine evokes the coast. This smells like pure air after a storm. It has a green touch of myrtle that adds a subtle sweetness when dry, softening everything. It’s ozonic cleanliness, not soapy, with unparalleled projection and longevity. It’s not invasive but draws attention without bothering. When I tested it years ago, my head exploded and I fell in love. Today I’m just as in love and it’s a must-have in my collection of 200 perfumes. 10/10.
I agree with @Kerpin: it doesn’t smell like the sea to me, neither idyllic nor stormy, despite what YouTubers repeat. What I notice is floral and herbal, especially the myrtle. It’s an aromatic herbal with a sweet and soapy base that overwhelms me in the heat; I can’t stand it. I understand it’s different and some may like it, but it’s not fresh as they claim. I wouldn’t buy it.
First off: don’t buy blindly; the price is high and it’s polarizing. I love it, although it didn’t impress me much the first time. It smells singular, more herbal than marine, very different from Orto Parisi’s Megamare. Yes, it smells like Vick ointment due to the myrtle, but on the skin it’s fresh, clean, and I’ve received many compliments. It smells different on paper, so try it on your skin and use a minimum of spray; it’s a beast mode that can stain due to its oiliness. Profvmvm is expensive, but the 18 ml roll-on is enough; you don’t need the 100 ml. It’s not versatile, ideal for hot, elegant days, like wearing white. Three or four sprays give more than 10 hours with a strong sillage.
I’ll never judge a famous fragrance again. Life taught me that tastes change, and what I didn’t like before, I now adore. I saved this review to give a fair judgment, having read harsh critiques ranging from ‘drain opener’ to ‘Chinese ointment.’ Over the years and thousands of tests, I’ve learned to value quality. For me, this perfume is wonderful, exuberant, and super unique; even though it’s been copied, no clone comes close. It evokes an endless sea, a cruise on the ocean, or a getaway to an island; it’s the purest salt I’ve ever smelled. It’s another level, a true niche: the performance is incredible for summer, lasting 20 hours and projecting 9 feet easily with just 2 or 3 sprays. It’s an olfactory experience, and curiously, despite the criticism, I always get compliments when I wear it.
Definitely, I can’t handle marine algae.
Honestly, I don’t know if there are reviewers or bloggers trying to take us for idiots with marketing campaigns that pretend to be the opposite. They say it smells like bottled sea, luminous sky, and saltwater hitting the sand, but it turns out to be a mix of muscle pain ointment and dentist smell. While writing this, I still have it on, waiting for it to evolve, and all I notice are green notes you have to bring close to your nose to detect, like Vick Vaporub. What does this have to do with the sea? We’ve all been to the sea or sailed in a boat, and at no point is anything mentholated perceived. I don’t understand the creator or anyone who likes it, and no one should buy it without trying it first.
They gave it to me, and I don’t quite get it. What did make me understand this fragrance is what they say about niche perfumes being niche because they offer something different. I’m sure I’ll find a moment to wear it, but I’ll never use up the 100ml, not because of me, but because I can’t stand the person asking, ‘But what perfume did you put on?’
Excellent quality and performance, though the price is very high. I love the salt note in perfumes, and this one, along with Salariá and Oud Minerale, is one of my favorites.
I wear it every day. I live in this huge city with so many people, but in the summers, we have this apartment in the Levante, and I anxiously await every August to spend some time there. The scent of Acqua di Sale makes me feel as excited about summer as water in May. The eighth wonder.
Some recommend it for the beach. I couldn’t disagree more; that’s like painting white on snow. For me, contrasts are everything. That wonderful fresh and salty perfume? I wear it in the mountains, at the lake, by the river… then you make the river dream of the sea, the azure sky touching the rugged brown mountain, the snow, and the yellow mountain flower. Contrasts are everything; one color sings to another, one scent powers its opposite.
By God, what a wonder! The other day my wife gave it to me for my birthday, and after 20 years of marriage, she finally gave me something good.
I’m going to a regatta next week and I’m taking it along with my sneakers. It’s a hit with the girls, and it transports me. I’m not a kid anymore, but when I’m on my sailboat with my friends, it hits me with those punches of those years full of vigor.
The paths of my life led me to meet a sailmaker, the people who make and repair sails. We became friends, and I spent the summer working with him as an assistant. There, clients arrive with torn sails, fresh from the sea, with salt encrusted… This smells like that sail loft, a craft workshop right by the sea. The smell of sails on the floor, the heat outside, the constant sea breeze coming in, all mixed with your sweat while kneeling to sew, unsew, and measure. This perfume reminds me of all that. A great treat to wear all year and smell like a sailor’s craftsman.
It’s not what I expected with that salty sea scent; it smells more like a coastal area near a refinery. To me, it sounds mentholated, sweet, and very aromatic, like a room freshener. In the heat, it gets suffocating. I don’t detect anything marine or summery, but that’s my take. Does it smell good? Yes. Does it smell like the sea? No. Does it smell like salt? No. Would I buy it? No.
Does it smell like the sea? Not to me. Like a sailing boat? Nope. Like a beach? No. But Acqua di Sale definitely smells like summer, like being happy lying in the sun on a dock, friends toasting on a yacht, or a handsome sailor on leave… It smells amazing. I find it fresh (not just a little fresh) and camphoraceous, probably due to the myrtle. It’s a potent scent but not overwhelming; it invites constant reapplication… I carry it in a roll-on and apply it every 30 minutes… it’s not that it doesn’t last, it’s that I need that burst over and over again, and when I say I need it, I mean I NEED it. Acqua di Sale is addictive. For me, it’s the discovery and the summer cologne; I’ll almost certainly empty the bottle and buy it again without hesitation. This winter, I’ll wear it when I need to rest and think of the sea.
This is bottled Mediterranean summer essence. Imagine the sea breeze and the sun in a bottle, but with class. It’s like if Neptune himself became a perfumer. Wish you could spray it on your salad!
It should be called Myrtle Water, but they wouldn’t sell as many bottles. Don’t buy it blindly or expecting a beach, sea, or ocean representation. It’s a salty, woody myrtle; it’s good, but very niche.
Today I had the luck to smell it. It’s a well-niche and quite abstract scent. To me, it smells like a girl’s body in a swimsuit with sunscreen. It smells 100% summery, evoking sunscreen, plastic pool, an afternoon under the sun. As for the ‘sea smell,’ that’s a very personal interpretation. The Pacific Ocean has a very strong and characteristic aroma because it’s a sea full of life; this doesn’t smell like the Pacific at all. In summary: it’s an abstract, strange but recognizable, summery scent. Maybe not for compliments, but people will definitely ask what you’re wearing. I love it, 10/10.
Being from South America, it doesn’t smell like the Pacific, but it does transport you to the Mediterranean: warmer, white sand, green seaweed, a distant touch of salt; without being a perfume with aquatic or oceanic notes, it recreates quite well what you’re looking for. As for performance, it’s not what I expected; while it lasts all day, it’s an intimate scent, projecting no more than an hour, although sometimes you can catch the trail.
It’s a great perfume, fresh and different. Huge performance, great trail; after a few hours, you can still smell it from more than three meters away. Worth its price, it’s a marvel; I’ve never had a perfume of that quality before.
I’ll add to my review that the bottles from this house are undoubtedly the worst on the market, surpassing even those from €10 perfumes. Be very careful because mine broke at the neck while I was walking in Milan, brand new, and the liquid spilled into its box, costing me €200. The worst part is that although the defect was obvious, they ignored me and replied arrogantly, like good Romans, boasting that their bottles have never had problems when everyone knows they don’t: they leak liquid, break, caps come loose, the atomizer gets clogged… it’s the norm for a €200 perfume.
In the end, with so many good reviews, I bought it and was really surprised by the quality. It is true that it smells fresh and has very good longevity, but I don’t think it smells of the sea; to me, it smells very strongly of celery leaves. Then the comparison with Megamare: for me, Megamare smells different, although they might be cousins, but in my opinion, I stick with Megamare.
Good longevity and projection. It’s like being on a beach smelling the sea. Reminds me of Tauer’s Phaloblue.
The best marine fragrance out there. Forget Aqua di Gio or the overrated Megamare; this is on another level. I live next to the Mediterranean, and this transports me right there. It’s like standing on a pier with waves crashing and a breeze carrying a hint of seaweed. It’s incredibly relaxing. The longevity is amazing; that oily texture clings to skin and clothes. With a shirt, even after washing, drying, and ironing, it still smells the same. I’ve only experienced this with two other perfumes. Suitable for any season, totally daytime, not for night. From 30 years old and up, if I can, this will always be in my collection.
Fresh, ozonic, powerful, and very exclusive fragrance. The opening carries citrus, though you might not perceive them as such, neither lemon nor bergamot, but they add brightness to what is noticeable, like the myrtle, with that serene smell of a green plant with white flowers or algae (fucus vesiculosus), and the calone that gives it that pure air ozonic freshness. Cedar and musk clean and attenuate the dryness with a tiny vanilla sweetness that completes what for me is one of the best perfumes in the world. It doesn’t really smell like the sea or salt like Heeley’s Sel Marine, but it’s closer to the scent of nature than Megamare. Maybe it smells like pure air after a storm with a background of serenity that calms. One of my favorites, it lasts and projects like very few, and despite the power it’s not overwhelming; it’s like opening a window. It leaves a mark, it’s unmistakable, and 90% of the public will like it. Versatile, looks good in the office if you moderate the sprays or at elegant events; that freshness covers everything. Always from the nuance of pure air, not heavy accords. Usable all year but more for spring and summer. A very beautiful perfume. Unisex, though I lean more towards masculine, perhaps because at home I use it and my son. A must-have and a true masterpiece. 10/10 Honors.
More than just salt, it smells herbal, green marine, or like seaweed. It’s fresh, aromatic, with correct projection and nothing invasive, rather reserved for temperate daytime climates and environments where you don’t want to overpower. It denotes elegance and maturity; it’s not youthful or cheerful, it’s contemplative, nature. The salt note adds that calm nuance of being in the water of a sea not too far from the coast. I like it, but it doesn’t blow my mind; I think its hype is a bit exaggerated (it’s not Megamare). If it had any other nuance, it would definitely make my wishlist. In a green vibe but more coastal, I’d recommend the lovely Nishane Ege instead; it has great energy and joy.
If you’ve spent time in a coastal Mediterranean town, you’ll recognize this aroma. ‘Smelling the sea’ is undefined, but the characteristic breeze is very well represented. To me, it’s a work of art; it crosses the line of perfume to ‘smell good’ and attacks directly at emotions. It’s an aromatic photograph. The performance is amazing, it lasts without being overwhelming. Its projection is supremely elegant. It’s a machine for generating memories. It’s very expensive and makes sense. If this cost 40 euros, it would lose its exclusivity, and this fragrance must be exclusive. Different from everything, the best summer fragrance I’ve tried. 10/10.
Acqua di Sale doesn’t smell like the sea… it smells like the real sea. No synthetic aquatic notes or clichés. This is salt, algae, wet wood… and freedom. From the very first second, it throws a wave in your face: powerful, salty, as if you were on the shore with wet feet in the sand and the wind full force. It’s a raw, wild fragrance, but with that touch of elegance that defines all of Profumum’s work. It lasts a barbarity, projects with force, and doesn’t resemble almost anything. If you’re looking for a real marine experience, without sweetness or artifice, this is bottled pure ocean.
A scent you won’t understand unless you’ve smelled it… no matter how much we say it smells like the coast, like a fishing village in Menorca in summer… you won’t understand it until this work of art captivates your olfactory bulb. It’s really special. But the best part is its performance; it’s Beast mode, like the Burgos Cathedral. I sprayed it to catch a plane one Friday afternoon, and of course, by Friday, people were smelling me from the NASA space station on Mars. The best part is that when I returned 10 days later, I swear on my life the shirt was still radiating the scent of Aqua di Sale from a couple of meters away. And after washing it (I don’t use fabric softeners or scented soaps) IT STILL SMELLED! (though further away and subtler, but it was there). No fresh, summery perfume can achieve this, and if you know of one, write to me because I need it. I adore it and definitely want it in my collection.
To me, it smells very similar to Lorenzo Valtolina’s Black Sea, but with less projection. In both, myrtle stands out, giving it that marine touch. Honestly, I prefer Black Sea, which isn’t cheap either 🫣.
I live in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, a town on the coast, and knowing that other parts of the country have some of the best Caribbean beaches in the world is a blessing. I’ve traveled almost everywhere in the country, and I swear the olfactory experience of this perfume drives me crazy. It reminds me of Punta Cana, but when you dive into the open sea and the breeze gives you a slap of salt, that salty sensation that, if you breathe deep, sinks into your brain. This is pure, salty, mineral, and pleasant, definitely what I want to smell always. Mentholated myrtle bathed in salt and algae with touches of cedar, all based on a surreal visual and olfactory experience of a clean, windy sea. This scent isn’t for everyone if you don’t live where smelling this is normal, but for summer, it’s a show and it smells spectacular. The performance is a star, it lasts a long time and projects equally. PROFVMVN ROMA makes perfumes with a lot of oil; they are dense and linear, always smelling the same, but it’s 100% niche and their aromatic experience is unmatched. The best aquatic is this one.
I’m not a huge fan of marine perfumes, but I like this one. Most of them smell bad on my skin, like raw egg. This one is different; it’s a real marine perfume, very salty, green, algal, giving the sensation of being inside the water with that real salty sea breeze. None of those ‘marine’ perfumes that just smell fresh; this is a real wave hitting your face. What dominates is the myrtle, giving it that green/salty touch. Here, perfumery crosses a line: the common goal is to smell good, but here it’s about recreating scenarios and memories. The longevity is a bomb. -Scent: 8 -Longevity: 9 -Projection: 8 -Versatility: 6 (summer).
PER-FU-MON, I bought it as a decant out of fear because people said it was more of an experience than something usable. It smells salty, marine, muuuuch delicious, and addictive. It lasts forever and the projection is beast mode. Recommended for summer and heat. Don’t let the reviews scare you, give it a try.
Very delicious, a ‘salty’ perfume but with a slight sweetness. Lots of myrtle with a marine base. Longevity and performance are very good. We’ll see what happens when I finish the decant.
This smells so handsome! It’s a super fresh blend of algae, salt, and citrus. The weird thing is I can’t separate the notes; everything flows together seamlessly for a brutal result. To me, it smells citrusy and fresh, taking me straight to the Mediterranean—a pristine white sand beach. It lasts perfectly all day with a decent sillage, and look how few perfumes with this profile last this long. I bought a 5ml decant to try it, and coincidentally, the next day I found the full bottle at 20% off, which isn’t bad for this price. Obviously, I bought it, and it was well-made because I finished it in two weeks and am already waiting for the 100ml.
