A classic, refreshing aquatic scent that opens with vibrant marine and citrus notes, unfolds into aromatic herbs, and finishes on a clean, woody-musk accord.
Launched in 1996 and composed by Alberto Morillas, Annick Menardo, and Christian Dussoulier, this iconic fragrance captures the sun‑drenched Mediterranean Sea. It begins with bracing marine and citrus accords—lime, bergamot, mandarin, neroli—and moves to a fresh, herbaceous heart of rosemary, jasmine, and sea breeze. Its warm, earthy base of cedarwood, oakmoss, musk, patchouli, and amber leaves a smooth, masculine trail. Known for its airy and invigorating aura, it’s a timeless classic and remains a bestselling men's fragrance
