I’ve been wearing this for a week and have a verdict for Perfumería: if you don’t like it at first, let it rest. In-store bottles are already oxygenated and smell great, but freshly opened ones sometimes don’t. With this Sal de Mar, it smelled marine and coastal in the store, but the initial burst at home was horrible—bitter, heavy, and almost gave me a headache. I left it on tissues, clothes, and in the air, shaking the bottle several days, and now it smells delicious. The opening has soft citrus; bergamota dominates but doesn’t bother me (I generally don’t like it), and sage gives it a distinct touch. As it dries, the salt creates a rich marine scent I know from living on the coast. It’s like sipping lemonade on the beach with a strong breeze and a distant smell. It lasts 6-7 hours, projects for 1-3 hours, and sometimes has bursts at the 4th hour. At the end, I notice wood and amber, which I like. My advice: shake the bottle several times a day to let air in; it improves by the third day. Longevity: 6-7h, Projection: 1-3h, Versatility: 5/10 (summer and spring, casual and semi-formal events).

I was looking for something fresh and citrusy with good longevity and projection, and this is a beautiful find. It’s citrus with a touch of sweetness, and the salt is noticeable, fitting perfectly with the notes. It opens fresh, and as it dries, you get the flowers and salt without losing the citrus. I see it as unisex, though on my skin it leans a bit feminine, which I love because I was scared after reading reviews calling it more masculine lol. It reminds me of the Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Light Blue lines without being a dupe. I bought the 40ml and regretted it; I need the 120ml. 🥹🤌🏻

Looking for something fresh and citrusy with good longevity and projection, and this is a beautiful find. It’s citrus with a touch of sweetness, and the salt really comes through, blending perfectly with the notes. It opens fresh, and as it dries down, you get the flowers and salt without losing the citrus. I see it as unisex, though on my skin it leans a bit feminine, which I absolutely love since I was scared off reading reviews calling it more masculine lol. Reminds me of Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Light Blue without being a dupe. Bought the 40ml and regretted it; I need the 120ml. 🥹🤌🏻

In-store, the drydown didn’t appeal to me, but it was becoming pleasant. Once I bought it and had the bottle in hand, well, they took the name literally: it’s nothing but heaps of salty water and dry as wet wood. A nightmare; every time I see the salt note, I think of this one. I haven’t tried Megamare, but I don’t think it beats this in saltiness; it’s way too salty, and I suspect I got a bottle that wasn’t macerated or was poorly mixed.

Exquisite sea salt. I went out for a walk with my wife, and a young couple passed by; she asked my wife about the perfume and said, ‘no, it’s my husband who wears it.’ I always get compliments when I wear it.
