    Real talk

    Marine fragrances can tip into one-note territory easily. Mers et Océans goes deeper, with mineral salt leading the opening while the vanilla in the base keeps the composition from flattening out.Mers et Océans
    Most aquatics lead with citrus. Salina opens with salt instead. The lemon arrives second, after you've already inhaled the sea. That inversion is the whole point.Salina
