Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Oltremare is an interesting green citrus, perfect for hot weather with top-tier quality. The opening explodes and leaves you breathless in just ten minutes with a brutal citrus shock. As it dries down, it settles and its green side shines through; a fine piece. It’s not my favourite, but it might suit others. Try it before buying as the profile is very distinctive and not everyone will want it.
Explosive citrus, fruity, floral, clean and rich, good quality. More aquatic than marine, unisex and versatile. It’s a great signature scent. Lasts around 6-7 hours with moderate projection.

It’s nice, but I expected something different: a citrus, bitter or truly marine scent like Nishane’s Ege. What I got was the unisex version of Coco Mademoiselle, which I don’t enjoy because the florals feel too heavy for a youthful perfume. Oltremare has a very identifiable citrus opening and then yes, there are florals, though the lighter, earthy patchouli prevents them from becoming cloying. The advantage over the other is that it feels less stately and classic, maintaining an elegant air yet entirely daytime. Lasts around 8 hours, with a powerful sillage for the first 3 hours, then moderate.

I just bought it and my first impressions are herbal, very fresh, citrusy, bitter with a spicy touch. It reminds me of Bois 1920 Cannabis Salata for the herbal notes and CK One Reflection for the citrus. I see it as unisex and perfect for heat. I don’t know how long it will last yet, but with 15 sprays I think it reaches 7-8 hours.

It reminds me of Bois 1920 Cannabis Salata for the herbal notes and CK One Reflection for the citrus. I find it quite unisex and perfect for heat. For now I don’t know exactly how long it will last, but with about 15 sprays I think it will hover around 7-8 hours.
Versatile, addictive and super unisex. On my skin it lasts quite a while for its category, around 8 hours, but after two hours it stays in a very personal bubble. Ideal for summer or intimate moments with your girlfriend; she’ll surely love it. I recommend trying it 100%.
