Profumum Roma Acqua di Sale EDP

Description

Acqua di Sale is salt drying on warm skin after a swim: one of the early marines, and still a remarkably convincing one. Launched by Profumum Roma in 1996, it pairs sea salt and seaweed with myrtle growing wild in the dunes, then softens the briny air with cedarwood, driftwood and musk. Retailers call it the original of the salty marine style, and reviewers praise how authentic the salt feels; one found it smoother and easier to wear than Orto Parisi Megamare. A minority pick up a green, celery-like edge in the opening.

Scent Character

Translation: a woody-fresh scent with a clear marine thread. The woods are the cedar and driftwood; the sweet share is the soft musk that rounds off the salt.

Performance

Longevity: Good for a marine. Reviewers regularly mention strong staying power.
Sillage: Moderate to strong; retailers describe it as high-performance.
Projection: Noticeable at arm's length or more early on, then a salty skin scent.

An honest note: a few reviewers find the opening briefly powdery before the salt comes through, so give it a few minutes.
