Wood Sage & Sea Salt, a cologne created by Christine Nagel for Jo Malone, falls within the cleaner range và is what I would call a high-tide fragrance. It opens with a refreshing blast of grapefruit and ambrette, which as it is an unusual combination of đứng top notes, sadly doesn’t last long enough to lớn suit me. The overall effect is one of freshness from the citrus và depth from the plant-based musk tones in the ambrette seed. Soon, the sea salt & sage come into play, & they, too, are clean & polished và not likely to offend. This stage lasts for a few hours, not changing in essential character but gradually fading to lớn a pleasant skin scent.

As pretty and well constructed as Wood Sage và Sea Salt is, it is fairly simple and non-demanding, much lượt thích other fragrances in the Jo Malone line. Not that wearability is in itself a bad thing. No doubt I will often reach for my decant and enjoy it for what it is. It is a perfect fragrance for the office, going out for dinner, meeting the in-laws, or any occasion when your perfume shouldn’t have the starring role. Và there are many such instances in daily life. Although Wood Sage và Sea Salt is unlikely to stand up to lớn the chill of winter temperatures, it is just right for summer days và the warm days & cool evenings of early fall.
One issue I vị have with this perfume concerns its longevity. Within two or three hours, it is no more than a barely perceptible skin scent on me. At $60 for a one-ounce bottle (30 ml), it is a bit pricey for the frequent reapplication necessary. However, I can see it being a good candidate for the layering technique (with other Jo Malone fragrances) recommended by the company.

For those looking for a low-tide fragrance with some dirty bits, I would recommend Sel Marin by James Heeley. This is an Eau de Parfum that has a strong citrus opening before the marine salt và seaweed take over. The heart of the perfume actually contains a hint of marine life, smelling like a bowlful of freshly steamed mussels accompanied by large lemon wedges.
Other low-tide options are the spicy Hermessence Epice Marine or the floral & herbal Miller Harris Fleurs de Sel.
