In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Mers et Océans by Adopt Parfums is a Aromatic Aquatic fragrance for women and men. Top notes are Salt, Red Algae and Labdanum; middle notes are Sea water and Amber; base notes are Sand, Vanilla and Woody Notes.

Reviews →

Shoreline by Örök Fragrances is a salty marine scent that captures the essence of sea water drying on warm skin. Built for hot summer days, it combines mineral salt, white musk, and intense amber. The result is a non-traditional aquatic that smells of sunscreen and sun-baked earth rather than clean blue soap.
