Series 14: Aquatic - Driftwood
EDTUnisex
The Story
Driftwood is a dry, salty take on aquatic scents, avoiding the usual melon and calone. It opens with a sharp blast of aldehydes and sea salt, then settles into a woody heart of cedar and juniper. The base is a mix of ambergris and driftwood accord, giving it a sun-bleached, beachcomber feel. It's a unique, minimalist aquatic that feels more like a walk on a windswept shore than a dip in the ocean.
