What do reviewers say about Black Sea and Blu Mare?
This is not a sunshine-and-sand fragrance. It leans hard into the tense, pressurized side of marine, with myrtle liqueur and ambergris giving it an almost astringent edge that will divide opinion.Black Sea
Blu Mare does not apologize for its marine character. The aquatic heart is substantial and the oakmoss drydown feels more rugged than refined. If clean laundry is what someone wants, look elsewhere.Blu Mare
