Blu Mare
Blu Mare by Giardini di Toscana is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon, grapefruit and pink pepper, moves into marine accord and cypress and dries down to ambergris and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Marine Accord Generic 'ocean' — salt, air and water. Clean and uncomplicated.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
