Thematic Territory

A coastal walk at dawn — seaweed on wet rocks, mint growing wild near tidal pools, and cedar driftwood bleached by salt and sun

Era & Context

Modern

A pioneering aquatic-green masculine that bridged the gap between Cool Water's synthetic aquatics and Issey Miyake's abstract water. Introduced marine botanicals — particularly seaweed — as a viable fragrance ingredient, influencing a generation of oceanic masculines.
