Tonic Water
Mizensir (2023)

The company says:

Tonic Water is a tribute to the ocean and the sensations we feel in the face of it; to the intense, invigorating freshness it so instantly imparts. Only a perfumer with a love for the sea, like Alberto Morillas, could produce such a hyper-realistic evocation that captures this exact feeling.

The liveliness of water is represented by Calone enhanced with cardamom and Szechuan pepper, a prodigious molecule with the power to evoke the sensation of water on the skin. And to emphasise its marine nature, Cachalox and Cetalox bring their subtle mineral ambergris accents. The effect is striking, like feeling grains of sand on your skin, still wet and swept away by the spray before being carried far away by a wave.

Finally, to translate the power of the ocean into a scent, the perfumer has enhanced the accord with papyrus wood and incense. Shaded with a touch of sensual vanilla, you are left with the sensation of deliciously salty skin fresh out of the water.
