Aura Maris
EDPUnisex
The Story
Aura Maris is a salty, mineral fragrance that captures the essence of the sea without being a typical aquatic. It opens with a sharp, ozonic burst of sea salt and aldehydes, then settles into a heart of aromatic herbs and white flowers. The base is a warm, ambergris-like blend of labdanum and musk that lingers like dried salt on skin. It's a sophisticated, unisex scent for those who love the coast but want something more complex than a simple marine cologne.
