In the bottle it starts with something a akin to tea tree, maybe some menthol and a touch of eucalyptus, I’m not sure what Big Sur smells like as a place but this definitely takes me to the beach, not so much the salt water, seaweed and sand part of the beach, but the fresh crisp air and the plants and rocks on the way down there. It’s really lovely fresh fragrance, would be great in the summer. I’m afraid I’m not sure what nettles and artemisia smell like (I’m new at this) so I can’t comment there.
On the skin there’s a burst of green followed by more tea tree which dies down a bit to reveal sequoia and a little bit of salt. Sits pretty close to my skin, very fresh and clean feel, maybe a tinsy element of bug repellent but not in a bad way. Bay leaf is there too but it doesn’t come until later.
I’ve tried mixing this with a tinsy bit of seaweed absolute and it was uncanny how much it reminded me of summers down the coast. Of all the ocean/beach style fragrances out there this one for mine is the only one that comes close to the real experience. It’s lovely.
