My initial impression was that this fragrance smelled like a common designer after spraying it. However, I quickly realized how spcecial it really is. Slightly similar to Neroli Portofino Acqua in that is it citrusy with some white florals. But man, oh man is the performance ever good on this! lasts all day long and projects well for many hours.

salt,seaweed,tall countryside grass,fig leaves,musk and sea notes…basically thats the fragrance…opening got some citrus and hint of blackcurrant, but goes away fast.its a damp feel from this fragrance, not very playful, smells for mature people.i like it but dont love it.if you loved nautica voyage and bvlgari aqva pour homme…its kinda in between the two, performance is ok but doesnt project so much.i cant see myself wearing this for summers…perhaps spring time by the beach when not many people around…there is something depressing about this…very niche like…and original.if you like salt and seaweed on your pretzels you make like this…musk also is a major player
overall in my book 10/10 creativity
small and occasions to wear: 6.5/10
a try….definitely not a blind buy 🙂

People who like Nio and also AUF should definitely test this one. A lovely one for the summers!

I honestly don’t see how people see this as green, on my skin it basically turns into ambergris and musk bomb after 2 minutes

I really like this. Not as much as the other fragrances I have on my ‘love’ list, but it’s closer to that than just a ‘like’.
This is very fresh, intensely so, but without the typical ‘barbershop’ quality a lot of ‘fresh’ fragrances have. I think it’s because the opening is actually less citrus and more fresh cut grass and blackberry – with some grapefruit ? Either way the opening is gorgeous. I’ve rarely had this ‘OMFG YES’ reaction right off the bat with a fragrance. It’s intoxicating to me – it smells like summer, playing on the beach, innocence, fun, surfing, children running around among billowing white laundry in a summer garden…Simultaneously very fresh and invigorating but also comforting.
The opening lasts unusually long for a citrus fragrance, I’d say almost half an hour. Beyond that it’s still nice but it rapidly loses this OMFG quality. It becomes a fairly soft, quiet, close-to-the-skin musky citrus scent that has a distinct marine and salty quality to it. Still good but not stunning anymore. People here are raving about its longevity and projection but I really don’t notice that.
I don’t have the most sensitive nose in the world, admittedly, but I have other silage and longevity monsters and definitely notice those (JPG Fleur du Mal, Montale White Aoud / Tiare Intense, Mugler Alien). It’s above average for a ‘fresh’ or citrus-based scent, but it’s not amazingly potent beyond the first half hour. Still, it’s closer to a ‘love’ than a ‘like’ for me – and would easily have been a complete ‘love’ if the performance didn’t so rapidly decline.

Nice green, fresh fragrance with floral notes..You might like this as a man if you also happen to enjoy MFK AUF

Wave musk is surprisingly green.
I have to say that I don’t see it as a marine composition.
On me smells like a crisp neroli with musk in the background. It’s actually quite nice. Clean, fresh. Especially during this hot days.
Slowly the green notes start to go away and I’m left with a light musk and wood drydown.
I like it, but is it worth the price? I’m not sure.

It’s interesting, but not surprising, aquatic and citric, has the strength to endure the whole summer day and with great performance.
I value this:
Smell: 6.5/10
Projection: 8.5/10
Longevity: 8.5/10

Marine, salty citrus. Like a margarita cocktail with grapefruit, lime and salt round the glass. Hint of floral and of course musk. A salty, grapefruit cousin to Cedrat Boise. Thankfully, I don’t get anything synthetic at all, just a rich aromatic, fruity, marine musk that reminds me of the sea. Great projection and longevity which gives it time to develop beautifuly on my skin. Maybe I’m being influenced by the official description but after 3hrs or so the citrus gives way to a certain salty woodyness, which could be described as seaweed. All the time the musk remains constant in the background. Very happy with it.

This smells like sophistication personified. It’s an interesting mix of notes that delivers marvellous results. The sillage is huge and the longevity is very impressive. It is truly unisex and it would be perfect for a hot day. When I close my eyes and smell this, I imagine being in a beautiful garden overlooking the sea. The “Main Notes According to Your Votes” chart is very accurate on this fragrance IMO. Although I’m not a fan of aquatics, Wave Musk has blown me away. This quote rings true to me after trying it: “Don’t knock it till you try it.”

Let me first say that the dry down is UNBELIEVEABLE; Friends, don’t judge the fragrance too quickly!
……[8/24/2016] sounds amazing!! So many reviews and they are all over the place; some are disturbed by the scent, some take an appreciative approach to this scent. Some rest in the middle, I am not sure what to think…..
……[9/27/2016] Received; the verdict is still out as I want to give this fragrance time to wear on me or I wear it!
……[10/5/2016] This fragrance in the beginning smells very similar to Lemon from The Art of Shaving; there is a very lemony blast in the opening spray and after a few minutes all the other notes begin to play a role. A very linear fragrance, good, yet different than others I have purchased from this brand.
Wave Musk is aquatic, citrusy, musky, and light. I to get the generic feel, yet there is a sense of uniqueness to it as well. Aspen (1989) meets Lemon (The Art of Shaving). As someone mentioned, Wave Musk has a generic feel from the Aspen similarity through the combination of Lemon, Bergamot, Vetiver, and Amber;
Lemon from The Art of Shaving has those same ingredients yet, a few more that gives this an edge and a more modern feel; Petitgrain, Cyclamen, Mandarin Leaf just to name a few.
Wave Musk has some Grapefruit and Orange Blossom-fruitiness, Sea notes-aquatic vibe, and also some White Musk, Blackcurrant, and Driftwood to give this a floral yet musk feel which allows this to remain modern. If you are looking for musk, you will be surely disappointed; the title is very accurate in the aquatic, beachy idea….(Wave) coupled with the (Musk) muskiness-sharp, stringent idea!
You’ve heard the phraseology, “been there, done that….,” well, those statements ring true here; It has been done before (as with others), but there are variations and differences that one can determine with Wave Musk.
This is the kind of fragrance that you have to give time to adjust to and allow it to grow on you………at first I wasn’t sure if I liked it or would even tolerate it. However, I decided to give it some time and time is good because that was what I needed in order to give this a proper reading!
Wave Musk grows on you; its like you like it, but then you hate it. And then, you’re like wait…I think I like it and you go back and smell more of it, this is the growing aspect.
I do like it, again will give it some time to develop a more concrete response….
Overall 7.5/10-Great fragrance, nothing over the top, nothing that necessarily stands out neither ground breaking. A great fragrance to have in one’s possession.
…this also reminds me (in the dry down) of Creed’s MI!!
Performance 7.5/10
Projection 6.5/10
Longevity 8/10
Sillage 7/10

Horrid generic aquatic nuclear weapon. Smells like a 2$ spray. Revolting.

goodness me. it doesnt have offensive nuclear projection but i scrubbed my arm with soap and its still strong on my arm! havent encountered such powerful longevity with moderate sillage before…
this is quite nice. all musk lovers must try this because whilst its not a pure musk (it has other notes in it) it is very true to musk which is the overwhelming note.

i actually really like this. its truly unisex, long lasting, really unique smell nothing too salty or seaweed about it in my opinion, but it does have that “marine” smell that i just can’t really put my fingers on. i can smell the citrusy notes in this for sure, as well as the musk.

I bought a sample for my boyfriend to try and while taking the cap off I spilled a tiny drop on the tip of my finger. That was enough – the scent is incredibly strong, even with that tiny amount.
It’s definitely not a scent for women, unless you like strong manly scents. The opening notes of sea and orange blossom (smells really bitter here) hit me in the nose like a sledge hammer and I’m still talking about that small amount on my finger. I’ve been “wearing” it for about 3 hours and the initial smell does not go away, change or lose its intensity.
Also, when I tried to wash it off with water and soap, it came back after the soap smell vanished! Only now it smells exactly like a hand after holding pennies for a while – metalic and unpleasant. Not as strong though, so I’m gonna give it another wash and hope it will be gone.
Side note: the boyfriend also did not like it, he said it was so strong it felt like burning his nostrils.
We mostly felt marine and bitter notes.

This is my least favorite out of Mancera’s I’ve tried.
Strong, marine-salty fragrance with a mix of orange blossom, citrus and green notes. Smells very synthetic, shampoo-laundry detergent like. If you are after marine fragrances try Sel Marin James Heeley, Batucada L`Artisan or Terralba Masque . Even Acqua di Sale Profumum Roma is better then this and I strongly disliked it.

Perhaps the only Mancera scent with little character. Maybe because I do not love the fugere and aromatic scents, perhaps because these marine shades have a saturated marked, maybe it get to be fairly generic. Jump to other Mancera, thanks.
