Sel Marin
Eau de Parfum
by HEELEY

The Scoop
Both breezy and aquatic, Sel Marin perfectly captures an early summer’s day spent at a quiet cove, a place absent of all fruity tropical oil smells and distractions when the only thing to concentrate on is the refreshing water, the soft sand and the salty sea air. A fleeting note of lemon opens this perfume only to be overtaken by a gentle wind carrying hints from the woods towering above the sea cliffs. The drift woods of cedar and birch dry in the blazing sun while vetiver and seaweed blend earth and ocean. Effortless and relaxing, Sel Marin is the perfect cure-all for a rainy day and a natural complement to a day spent walking in the sand.

Sel Marin Notes
lemon, Sicilian bergamot, sea salt, seaweed, vetiver, birch, cedar

I am torn between this and DSH's La Plage. Both are beautiful renditions of the sea air. La Plage is more realistic, whereas Sel Marin is closer to a subjective interpretation. There are days when the lemon in Sel Marin is a little bit more than desired, and I don't get enough of the sea, but other days the combination of the lemon and cedar drydown is just so lovely, and hits the spot. This is such a well done and beautiful fragrance. I wish I can give this 6 stars.

This to me would smell lovely on a man. Truly a unisex scent...salty lemony sea breeze. 4 Stars because I wouldn't be inclined to wear it but would like it on another.

Being one of the few salty fragrances I've ever smelled, I've gotta say I'm really into this. It's the middle of winter here in Canada, but after taking my initial whiff of the sample, I was brought to the warm and sandy cove in the description. I'm going to snoop around for other salty fragrances to see which catches my attention most, but this is at the top of the list for now.

i really, really love this one. worn it on hot day and i felt like i was just going home from the beach; tried on a humid rainy day and it blended well with the smell of wet lands as well. just love at the first sniff.

Wanted to like this, some people have such evocative descriptions in their reviews, but to me it is just synthetic vetiver and hurts my nose. Yes, thank god for samples.

After drying off from a swim in a pool, if you lick your skin you’ll get a refreshed whiff of chlorine. This is like that, except instead of chlorine it’s a salty ocean baked into hot skin from a hot sun salt smell. A close to skin scent. After applying my regular perfume elsewhere, I put a dab of this on my hand for surreptitious sniffs during the day. Unadulterated pleasure.

Wow, I'm usually a gourmand girl but this is fantastic. Perhaps it's the salt I'm drawn too; whether it's in something nearing caramel or the salt note in something like this. I'm not sure I've smelled anything with seaweed in it before, and frankly will it be possible to like any of the others more than Sel Marin? And I'm generally not too crazy about vetiver but I've got a serious case of nose to wrist. Bottleworthy; after a purchase of Note Vanillee, of course.

I had tried a sample of Heely's Figuier, so when I was at the counter, decided to try the other varieties of Heely. This one grabbed my attention, as I'm a fan of C.B. I Hate Perfume's Mr. Hulot's Holiday (which is a longer lasting CB scent, but still too brief for me), and I am also in love with Profumum's Acqui di Sale, but can't quite make the $240 commitment. I put the scent on my arm, then walked around for 2 hours smelling it, and the drydown just got better and better for me, so I went back before closing and got a full bottle. I just woke up, its been 12 hours since applying, and it still lingers and hovers on my skin nicely. I can't argue with certain people who react to this scent such that it has a chemical/artificial smell to them, but I will say my chemistry has no such effect on this cologne. On me it is complex, natural and effusive, but not overpowering, and DOES stand out among maritime scents as one of the better ones, so if you are a fan of this genre, I highly recommend sampling this to see how it works on your body.

Not a bad marine fragrance, as they go. Has points in common with Quasar Adventure for men (J. Del Pozo). less strident than New West for her (not sure if that's still around), less chemical than Aqua Motu. Pleasant fresh spiciness about it resembling spearmint. Recommended.

Though the notes don't appear in the composition, to my nose, it unexpectedly and strangely starts with a blast of cilantro and lime. Then, it turns into an unremarkable aquatic not unlike the many others on the market. Bottom line: It's nothing special.

To be avoided if you dislike synthetic aquatic notes. I wanted to like but I really just do not. Thank goodness for samples...

Great fume. Not the "sweet" beach. It is a real beach ocean scent that reminds me of salt, wind and the smell of the ocean. Very fresh and breezy. I can envision standing on the beach and the wild waves rolling in. Very unique and addicting. Love it Good lasting power too

I am not a perfume-y person, so I expected this to smell like an aquatic soap. NO! It DOES smell like a beach or ocean. This is THE scent to get if you love the water.

This opens by whisking me to a sea shore--how lemon and freshness do this I don’t know. Then I’m slow drawn into a cool, damp bamboo grove behind my grandmother’s house. Bamboo is not mentioned in the list; but it’s a distinct smell to me and I don’t know any where else it’s used. Or composed from other scents.

This is a gorgeous fragrance. I got a sample and became completely obsessed---I had to get the full size. It really is beach-y, but without the Coppertone thing(which, I am ashamed to say, I kind-of like, but there are plenty of those around). Sel Marin is subtle, evocative and refined. It's one of my new favorites, I'm absolutely crazy about it! Exceptional.

I really enjoyed this scent as to order me the full bottle. At first, it took me a couple of hours trying to figure out what other scent that I experienced this resembled. Alas, its somewhat similar to, CB I Hate Perfume's - Black March. An earthy, wet branch-like scent, after a thunderstorm. The only difference though, Sel Marin lasts much longer, as opposed to CB's water-based fragrances.
