Description
Baldessarini takes us to the Seychelles this year, as soon as in April 2009. Baldessarini introduces Baldessarini Del Mar Seychelles Limited Edition as this year’s fragrant journey by a luxurious yacht which sets its course on accentuated luxury and heavenly islands. This is a new destination after Baldessarini Del Mar from 2006 and Baldessarini Del Mar Caribbean from the Caribbean from 2007.
The new fragrance Baldessarini Del Mar Seychelles Limited Edition, was created in cooperation with P&G Prestige Beautes Global Fragrance Creation Team, as harmony of adventurous, warm and woody impulses, inspired by exciting sailing on waves of west part of Indian Ocean.
This exciting, fragrant expedition begins with freshness of water melon with unexpected accords of black pepper, accompanied with essential oil of angelica. A heart incorporates pictures of distant journeys and unexplored countries, presented with notes of nutmeg, clary sage and tobacco aromas. A base of the fragrance reflects pleasure brought about by cruising, and is created by woody accords of oak and Guaiac wood with suede.
Baldessarini Del Mar Seychelles Limited Edition can be purchased as 50 (1.7 oz) and 90ml (3 oz) EDT.

This fragrance projects a aura of relaxation. Juicy melon, nutmeg and tobacco create a positive, manly scent that performs very well. Its not aquatic yet it totally delivers the holiday resort vibe and even more. Way better than your usual flankers or beach resort themed fragrances!

Blind bought this bottle, based on the notes shown here, as well as the fact I like Baldessarini and Hugo Boss fragrances. I had actually gotten this as well as the original Del Mar as a sample. Not sure about the original Del Mar – on me it seems too floral-soapy for my taste.
But Del Mar Seychelles is beautiful. To me it opens similar to Hugo, but it’s not quite as sharp and melon replaces Hugo’s apple. It quickly passes through a bit of black pepper and woodiness, settling on a nice soapy suede. Just a little sad I don’t get any of the tobacco.

It is indeed a beautiful semi leather-tobacco scent, with a summery breeze.
Starts with a punch of tobacco-leather-fruity punch (reminds me of Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather, just wait and You’ll notice too).
The middle and the base is mild, fruity-tobacco with a hint of creamy nutmeg.
It’s a very interesting summer scent, based on notes which ones are usually used in fall/winter scents. However the creators made a very good job, with balancing the heavy ingredients with some fruity/fresh notes.
If you’re looking for a tobacco-leather based scent for summer then stop looking for it. It’s really the perfect (a bit safe but still interesting) gents scent for the summer days/nights.

Nice, bit light on me to be honest, didn’t really last more then 2 hours. Shame, as I like the fragrance. I get very little of the fruity opening on my skin, it develops into something very woody pretty quickly, which is fine as I like it. Agreed for 35+ Packaging is the same as Avon, bit nasty.

I bought this cologne as a blind purchase as I normally do cuz of the notes and the positive post… It smells just as described above a fruity watermelon leading into a smokey and black pepper dry down and thats it, nothing more to say… a very simple clean refreshing after your shower spicy scent.

It is indeed amazing how your taste could change after a year or two. You can read my earlier comment about this fine fragrance and compare it to this review. I’ve been wearing this cologne for about two years now, and I hated it, so what I did. I made myself use it everyday, and after few month I started liking this cologne. It is my safe cologne. No one hates it, as others mentioned it is a simple cologne, yet not as simple as famous Versace or other overrated fragrance. It does have a little bit of complexity, which I’m always a fan of. Since this fragrance is not very common it is probable that people stop and ask you what you are wearing. I’m not getting into noes. It is better explained at the top of this page, but if you are buying this because you like the smell of watermelon. My nose DO NOT PICK ANY NOTE FROM MELON.

I think this fragance is for 35+ mens. It’s very pleasant in the beginning, but by the time going smelly.

Bought this blindly for under £10 for a 50ml Edt in a supermarket. Good sturdy bottle and the juice colour is very different. For the first 15mins it is very peppery on my skin with wafts of watermelon. The tobacco is quite prominent and blends into a strong woody scent. The herbs and woods mix very well with a fruity twist. I got to say i’m quite suprised by this fragrance and will be great for work and the gym. It is quite strong on my skin and lingers for 5+ hours. I used to wear the original Del Mar a few years ago and am so glad I bought this. This will be great in the warmer weather too.

This is a nice and unique fragance. I like it! Its longevity is average if you spray yourself 2x-3x, but if you spray yourself about 5x it smells on you for almost a day or more. I response it!
zmx998speagoessenda – :
The typical 90’s style! A watery/fruity opening laying on a strong woody base. Unfortunately it was released in 2009. Not completely unsuccessful (yet very close) but definitely unnecessary.
Rating: 4/10
Edit: After 4 hours of wearing it gets annoying and outdated. Meh
frotier – :
Nice chunky bottle and the colour of the juice is lovely . To me it smells almost identical to versace’s discontinued ‘Metal jeans’ . The scent doesnt last long on me either but its not a bad scent I just prefer the original baldessarini .
adosuse – :
Very simple and plain. Modern fresh-woody-fruity composition for office or casual daily wear. Longevity is less than average. If you like something sophisticated and chic this is not the thing.
Dredurcelsole – :
Comparison: To my nose this one is very similar to Versace Eau Fraiche, but less sharp and intense. At least in the first 30-40 minutes before it dries down to a sweeter vibe and the watermelon accord seems to fade.
Like or Dislike: I like this one maybe a bit more than Eau Fraiche (I don’t really like Eau Fraiche because of it’s feminine side.).But that’s just me.
You can purchase it on:
1. ebay
or
2. scentedmonkey.com
or
3. galaxyperfume.co.uk
etc.

alright, I got this today, and let me tell you that I’m sorry for buying this blindly. For now I put this in dislike category, I might change my mind after a while, but as far as scent, It is not fresh, It is a little dark and heavy, which I didn’t expect it to be.

I know that I seem to be alone on this, but Del Mar Seychelles is my favourite of the Baldessarini Del Mar line. It’s big on tobacco and spice and seems to fit right in to the whole concept of what this line is trying to represent; a more mature man sailing and exploring the world’s oceans.
It has a sweet and sour accord in the beginning that’s not too overpowering. I’m guessing that this is the watermelon maybe mixed with the angelica? It’s something a little different from the rest of the Del Mar Line.
Another plus is the longevity and sillage. Compared to the others, this one really last a considerable length of time on me. I get up to 7 hours with this.
When I wear this, I think of sunsets, smoky BBQ’s, rum cocktails and salty ocean breezes.
For what it’s worth my personal order of preference for the Del Mar line goes:
1.
