Sel Marin
Sel Marin by Heeley is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon and bergamot, moves into sea salt, oakmoss and seaweed and dries down to vetiver, cedarwood and musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
