    Real talk

    Tar is dark. Industrial. Black, the smell of it melting on summer pavement is not what you'd call inviting. Until the sweetness arrives. Caramel and licorice cut through the tar.Tar
    This isn't your typical aquatic fragrance. It lacks the transparent soapiness or synthetic shower-fresh quality found in most ocean scents. The marine accord carries actual mass and substance.Megamare
