A Grove by the Sea
A Grove by the Sea by Arquiste is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with fig leaf, sea salt and clementine, moves into fig, thyme and rosemary and dries down to pine and cypress. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Fig Leaf Milky, green and slightly coconut-like. The smell of shade.
- Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
- Clementine Small, sweet and a bit candied. Very easy to wear.
Heart
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Thyme Dry, sharp kitchen herb. Bracing and slightly antiseptic.
- Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Dry-down
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
