Sel Marin James Heeley for women and men

fish salt water and Seaweeds!!!really..flashback in my last tour on seaside.
The drydown put you in a fish shop.
it is softened than real fish and salt.
for nostalgic of the navigation in the sea.
Very natural never synthetic

I like it

Heeley masterfully recreates the proximity of ocean water and beyond that a reminder of countless coastal excursions. To produce this effect without a bucket load of calone is admirable, and in living up to its title, it most certainly succeeds.

The opening is a flat; zest free citrus experience, a shade sour, but at the same time fragile and slight. In time it does acquire density, and soon there is real warmth to enjoy, almost as if the sun were beating down on a freshly ebbed tide. As with Fleur de Sel by Miller Harris, I can admire the alchemy required to fulfil the brief, it's just that I am not exactly sure I want to smell this way. Although it interests me greatly, it does not move me. A thumbs up for the chemistry though.

This one opens up with dominant citrus chord guaranteed by bergamot and lemon, without leaving behind a very salty smell resembling perfectly a bright sea breeze aroma. A very linear fragrance perfectly made for hot days.

One of the best Overall Aquatics out their. As a man in his mid 20s, this scent starts off with a salt water feeling, then turns down to some vetiver and birch wood. Overall a pleasant light Summer scent. Amazing feeling of being by the ocean.

The best aquatic perfume that I know, very realistic. A promenade along the sea, the weather is rather cool, almost cold, and you can distinctly smell the sand. Just a hint of lemon recalls you that it's a perfumed composition, not only an olfactive photograph. Adorable.

alaaddin777, i smelled pepper too, just before the dry down. this is a sweet scent on me with just a mere hint of salt. that being said, i really like it even though i expected something totally different.

Summer, Sun, Sand and Sex! One of the most beautiful aquatics out there. I'm crazy about it's perfectly balanced saltiness and the feeling of wetness.
On a rainy day in London, the perfect getaway!
Two thumbs up!

One the best scent for summer,- beach scent!

fantastic bright clean opening ; not a "false" overly citrusy green scent like so many supposed water scents. after a fresh opening you really can smell sea water and salt and then it becomes sweet and fruity like the citrus blends with the wood notes to give almost a berry smell.. not sure how it lasts on the skin but definately exceptional even if it doesn't have super long lasting quality

it smells similiar to hermes voyage.
i smell pepper instead of salt.
voyage is a little bit sweet and citrus version of heeley.
i think sel marin is different from other marine /aquatic scents.
good perfume.8,5/10

drydown is so sweet feminen.i need more sharpness, less sweetness.

This really smells like sea! but the mediterranean one.

9/10

Must have it!

This (together with Tirrenico by Profumi Del Forte) is what an Aquatic Fragrance should smell like in 2011. No Cool Water clones or Silver Mountain Water / Eau De Rochas type of things but an outstanding and impressively realistic salty acquatic fragrance. The best interpretation of a marine scent in years. Where Tirrenico uses Flannel to recreate the feeling of the tuscan coast sand dunes, Sel Marin stays almost minimal in just reproducing a water can filled with iodized marine salt with citrus (lemon) and bergamot. In the drydown the vetiver and cedar make sure the scent doesn't get any sweet or sopay but still very (very) salty and totally fresh. The opening is just amazing and absolutely shiny. It really makes you happy with a big smile on your face, litterally. It doesn't happen too often that an aquatic fragrance is so distinctive, and Sel Marin surely is. Welcome to the Melon-Banned scents temple. Totally endorsed!

Rating: 8/10

Heeley Sel Marin opens dominant note is pine. It is really smells like forest,ful of cedar and pine. A note of sea water bring some new feeling to it.
Overall it is subtle nature kind of a smell perfume.

One of the best perfumes I ever had - combination of "real" (not synthetic)freshness and depth (imagine a pine forest on the seaside). Not sweet at all, but does not turn masculine on me. Most perfumes I simply can't wear because of some annoying notes at some stages, but this perfume is a total perfection for me.
