Scent smells as advertised. Opens with a really soft and creamy white floral and gives that slightly sunscreen summery vibe especially in the opening. Then settles into a really salty ambergris musk. The woody notes are present in the dry down but never the star of the show. Extremely pleasant scent, imho. So far this is one of the better “beach” fragrance I’ve ever tried. It really does evoke the smell of your skin with remnants of scented sunscreen after a day of swimming and letting your salt water soaked hair air dry in the sea breeze.
I already own Unknown Pleasures from this brand this one or Dirty Flower Factory are both officially on my wishlist. Anyway, per usual from this brand lasting power and projection are both intense.

walk the sea is all about warmed skin. at first: sunscreen on warm skin, specifically. then: warmed skin in a cedar sauna. its brilliant, and in that shift, it’s nuanced.
first blast is of the (unspecified and closely guarded) white flowers with sea salt, with a current of ambergris lifting it up. the floral is what alludes to the sunscreen. after that settles–anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes–the white flowers fall to the background and the cedar emerges, the salty-skin effect still fully intact. beautiful.
i find walk the sea transforms the most of any kerosene fragrance, and encourage anyone who tries it to it wait to draw their conclusions until that second phase happens. when i first smelled it, i thought it was a pleasant beach scent but not necessarily my bag — but the moment the sauna emerged, i fell in love and got a bottle. for kerosene collectors who really want to speed up or enhance the sauna effect: layer on top of canfield cedar !!
(FULL DISCLOSURE: i sell kerosene fragrances. i would never encourage someone to buy a fragrance they don’t love, that’s not in my interest ! i do have a lot of experience with the range though, because of it.)

Walk The Sea is an uncomplicated, yet sophisticated and decidedly clean take on the popular aquatic narrative. White florals upfront set the stage for a cultured day at the beach. This is the scent of Monet’s Camille, dressed in lace and toes in the sand. The florals don’t over power, nor define, but give birth to a very well executed ambergris/musk. A hint of salt, not dirty, rounds out with cedar notes.
Shocking longevity and projection, given this softer composition. Pegg has really stretched himself here, breaking his comfort zone of oddity powerhouse fragrances that catch by surprise. Walk The Sea is beautiful, clean, and pleasant.
As a fan of most of his creations I was taken by the direction he took with this one. And impressed. Pegg shows he can do pretty and tame just as readily as wild and loud. It’s not the beast that is Imaginary Author’s Every Storm A Serenade and less salty/raw that Maria Candida Gentile’s Finisterre.

Kerosene’s latest creation, Walk the Sea, is well-executed aquatic that leans heavily on sea salt and ambergris, giving in an ever-so-slightly dirty, animalic side, but overall, it’s quite clean, with musk and cedar smoothing things over and white florals providing an air of sophistication to the blend.
It’s not as dirty or provocative as Imaginary Authors Every Storm a Serenade, which embraces the dirty, edgy side of the marine smell with a heavy use of calone, but Walk the Sea is a little more refreshing and agreeable, and particularly with the use of florals, it’s a bit more sophisticated, as well.
Walk the Sea is a surprisingly good performer given its note breakdown, with moderate to above-average performance in terms of both projection and longevity.
The usual Kerosene retail pricing of $140 for 100ml is excellent for most of the products in line due to their performance and nuance, but Walk the Sea is a slightly tougher sell given that, while pleasant, it’s relatively simple, and is certainly not a beastly performer along the lines of Blackmail, Follow, Copper Skies, and Broken Theories.
Still, this is nice stuff, and it might knock the socks off of some wearers, and it might just hit all of the right spots for others.
