Description
“Eau Mer starts off with a strong note of chlorine, like a newly washed floor in a hospital, but then the ocean comes wafting in, briny and metallic. It brings me back to my childhood when my uncle used to take me and my brother on fishing trips to lakes in Ontario on his small motor boat. I always loved the combination of gasoline fumes mixed with dank algae on a humid summer day, and that’s what Eau Mer is. It’s marvelous.” – a note from the perfumer.

If there’s something I learned from Pekji’s fragrances is that there aren’t good notes and bad ones but only either a good use of them or a bad one.
Eaumer opens with something I perceive as citrusy-green. I guess a mixture of green notes, petit-grain / neroli and other fizzy things. It immediately makes you think of an Eau De Cologne but, at the same time, it doesn’t feel *retrò* or *old-fashioned*. Intstead, because of its gasoline-like undertones, it’s reassuringly modern and even edgy if you want. There’s also a jasmine component thrown in the mix that together with a chlorine-like kind of ozonic accord, enhances the overall airy character of this fragrance. It sounds challenging but, honestly, it’s anything but. Compared to either Holy Shit or Cuir 6, this is definitely on the *easier* side of the spectrum. More versatile, easier to like and more *tradionally* perfumey especially during the amber / vetiver-driven drydown. It’s basically a fresh fragrance with a twist but whereas most other similarly themed fragrances fall either on aquatic or flat white musky synth kind of stuff, Eaumer is vibrating, alive and extremely satisfying thourhout.
Very Good!

Smells like a minty industrial disinfectant. Not unpleasant, but more like a hospital floor than a seaside to me.
