Ege / Αιγαίο

I didn't like anything about it. I wouldn't like it on myself, nor on anyone else. The longevity is only a rough estimate, as I washed the sample off quite quickly. I agree with another reviewer on one point, that no particular fragrance aspect stands out and it feels quite generic.

A World to Dissolve Into. Ege creates such a complete, complex atmosphere that I don’t want to break it into notes. Nothing sticks out. Mint, bergamot, cardamom, sea air, sandalwood, juniper - everything exists together as one. A quiet Mediterranean island or a tiny fishing town. The sea at sunrise, fishermen preparing to leave, fresh air, ozone, warm but gentle sun. A morning shower with creamy natural soap and the smell of expensive skincare. White pyjamas and a cashmere sweater thrown over your shoulders. It is fresh, soft and sensual, youthful and somehow very deep. Sea, plants, air, warmth, tenderness. You don’t analyse it - you dissolve into it. And somehow you want your life to feel exactly like this: beautiful, harmonious and calm inside. Great perfumes are like great wine, films or books. You don’t need to take them apart to understand why they work. Sometimes everything simply becomes one complete image. Completely seasonless for me. In summer, it makes summer even better. In winter, it becomes a teleport to the Mediterranean. I adore it.

At first, strongly soapy like my grandma's bathroom. Then it becomes more citrusy, but unspectacular. After a certain time it becomes green, herbal, and tart, and very pleasant for me. Still unfortunately nothing special.
