Hello you smelling pack! Or would you rather I call you "smelly people"? How about "Hello you smelling pack?" d Hey hey, just pick something for yourselves, anything goes for me :D
Anyway, today I describe the fragrance "Herbs & Sea Salt" from DUA Fragrances, a brand that now has so some pretty good scents. Of course, most of the fragrances of DUA have been inspired by other, well-known fragrances, some say therefore sometimes also that DUA would simply imitate great brands, well, there everyone can decide for himself what he wants to think. In any case, the fragrances are but in my opinion clearly higher quality than many other "Dupes". But let's get back to the fragrance.
Herbs and Sea Salt sounds like a good combination. Because fragrances with names like Sea Salt usually aim at the summer and for me smell summer scents in combination with tart fragrances like various herbs always super. Of course, it always depends on the herbs, sage and rosemary, for example, are just top, with coriander, however, I rather run away, uuh! Only celery is even worse, but fortunately celery is not available as a fragrance, right? Times briefly on EssenceVitae look confirms me... WHAT? Oh no, there are actually fragrances with celery, ufff!
Probably there is nothing anyway, which was not already used as a fragrance,... one handled yes finally even with... ummm... male "love excretions" (see for example "Le Parfum - Orgie" by Mugler)... urgh! :D
He he, I think now I digress so slowly :D
Soo, so back to the fragrance. As I said herbs always sound great, let's see how that is in combination with "Sea Salt":
The fragrance:
The fragrance starts fresh and citrusy. I smell lemons and a light, nice sweetness at first. In addition, the fragrance becomes aquatic and then also gets salty notes, which are well smellable, but not biting. The scent also has herbs to offer, as the name suggests. In this case, I smell, as indicated here on EssenceVitae, mainly sage, which fits very well with the lemon.
Later, one continues to smell this summery mix, with the salty notes already starting to weaken.
Also in the base you can smell more citrusy scents, but especially a nice sweetness. The herbs are weaker now, as are the salty scents. But on the whole, the scent barely changes from the first spray to the finish. It stays nice and fresh, so it fits well in warm days. At the very end, I felt as if you could smell the salt better again, but that was probably just because many other scents had died down by then.
The sillage and the durability:
The sillage is okay for a citrus scent, I would say it's stronger than the average citrus scent. Still, it is a citrus fragrance, so do not expect people to be able to perceive the scent for hours at a great distance at one!
The durability I would give so with six hours. Even if he is still a little smellable afterwards, so he is then only very close to the body.
The flacon:
The bottle is rectangular, narrow and has slightly rounded edges. On the front is a large label, where you can see a picture of salt and herbs on a gray background. This is accompanied by the name and logo of the brand. The name of the fragrance is also written on the side once again in large letters. The lid is cylindrical and has a wooden lining, which makes the bottle appear more high-end. All in all, the bottle is quite okay and through the image also comes a certain variety in the fragrance shelf.
@!Conclusion:*
Soo, first of all something that I really did NOT like about the fragrance and would therefore never use it, even if it smells so good: the fragrance is damn OILY! Yes, the scent is really greasy :D My arm still shines a little, because you must know that when I test a fragrance to describe, I always spray myself a little more than usual to be able to test the fragrance well. And that's why when I sprayed, I had the feeling as if I had bathed with olive oil (... yes yes, now I'm sure some say: Is healthy! Bahhh... :D). It is really very greasy, greasy and as I said oily. And I personally do not like it at all when I have oily fingers, that babbt then everywhere and it is simply IGITT!!!! :DD
Anyway, now you know. When spraying on normally, this will perhaps act less extreme, but as I said, I spray all fragrances when testing properly, and over 90% of the fragrances are usually not so oily with me.
But well, anyway, the fragrance smells nice in itself, especially if you like salty notes. The citrusy freshness fits very well in the summer and together with the herbaceous fragrance notes and the slight sweetness smells even better, and especially not "just citrusy".
You can use it mainly as a daytime fragrance or leisure, to go out he is a bit too unspectacular. He could also go well as a vacation fragrance, after all, one says with crowded beaches "lie like sardines", right? Well then, this fragrance would be together with its oily consistency but the ideal fragrance for a hot, crowded beach day! :D
So, if you do not mind the oily, then the fragrance is certainly worth a look or a sniff!
That's it again from me, I wish you all a nice evening and until next time :)
