Difficult to create an “aquatic” fragrance but different from the others in circulation. They all look the same. Even “Embruns d’Essaouira” does not escape the criticism that, although interesting is the presence of sandalwood to temper the marine notes, it is a little déjà vu. Anyway to try.

Weird fragrance indeed. I can sense aquatic notes the most in it.
It’s very masculine but in a fresh way. Not too musky in my opinion, but there’s some spicy notes lingering around.
I think it’s a little bit pleasant, but I wouldn’t wear it myself, because, it’s so weird and masculine.

This appears to be one of the more obscure Montale offerings, perhaps because of the unpronounceable and incomprehensible name. “Embruns” means “sea spray”, and Essaouira is a coastal city in Morocco. The name sets us up already for something along the lines of Comptoir Sud Pacifique Aqua Motu or Eau des Lagons.
What I find is that Embruns d’Essaouira is a cousin to Hermès Terre d’Hermès–against all expectations. To my nose these fragrances share the same “clean soil” feeling. Some reviewers are describing the scent of Embruns d’Essaouira as that of salt, but to me there is a lot of overlap with the flintiness of Terre. Both of these fragrances are difficult for me to say much about because they have a nasal-clearing effect upon me, inducing a type of olfactory fatigue within a few minutes of application, to the point where I cannot really figure out what I am smelling anymore.
The opening of this unique composition bears comparison to Lalique Encre Noire (pour lui), but there is no blue ink here, so I assume that the tie that binds all three of these fragrances together is iso-E-super: the radiance maker. Once I recover my ability to smell again, I feel that there are some green elements in Embruns as well, but what is altogether missing is any of the sweaty muskiness of Aqua Motu, and for that I am grateful.
This is a clean seaside scent, fully unisex and perfect for hot weather such as we have been having lately. I can wear this fragrance and dream that I am in Essaouira. Or maybe I should just go to Boston Harbor?

Bought a sample of this and glad I did not buy a whole bottle.Lasts a long time but definately salty,clears your sinuses for the first hour in not a very pleasant way.Get the sandalwood and spice in the drydown,would say that a woman wouldnt enjoy this.
My opinion,after 1hr o.k,after 2 hrs better.my rating out of 10 is 6 just for lasting ability but If worn on a regular basis I am sure that those around you wouldnt say “You smell Nice” ?

Very salty and simultaneously spicy and woody scent. This is an unique fragrance for the spring/summer rainy days!

This is the most salty scent I ever smelled, with woodsy and spicy notes, it is very light and good for vacations.
