Hyle
Eau de Parfum
by Farmacia SS. Annunziata dal 1561



The Scoop
The ocean. Not a glamorous beach. Not a tropical island – but the ocean itself, in all of its iodine-laced majesty. Wild and vast, with algae, driftwood and that blast-of-salt-air that stirs up when a fierce wind whips across the gray waves. The ozone in the opening is raw – almost harsh -- but as Hyle warms on the skin, a compelling and authentic sea scent with a bristling freshness emerges. You can catch an occasional clear whiff of ginger or lavender, but for the most part the citrus, aromatic and musk elements blend seamlessly into a brisk distillation of the ocean. If you prefer your aquatic scents laced with the sweetness of melon or tiare, this is probably not for you. However, if you love your oceans untamed and your beaches uninhabited, this crisp breath of fresh salt air may be just the thing to revive your spirits.

I was expecting something far more complex from this fragrance. Once the first blast of citrus top notes were gone, however, all I could smell was iodine. Iodine and a bit of salt, and that's it. This did make it a passable replication of the smell of salt water, but not a very interesting one. Nor even a *terribly* realistic one, really: yes, the ocean does smell like iodine, but not quite *that* much like iodine! Only once the dry-down came, hours later, could I detect anything but the strong iodine smell. I got a bit of dusty patchouli, a bit of musk, a faint trace of ozone. Mostly, though? Iodine. Perhaps I'm just super-sensitive to myrtle (which I believe is what accounts for that iodine smell here), but it didn't make for a very interesting olfactory experience. I was hoping for something far more complex, and far less linear. Profumum's Acqua di Sale did this much better.

I adore all the individual scents of thisL Lemon, bergamot, myrtle, lavender, ginger, ozone, musk notes, juniper wood, patchouli. And expected more of a bite and saltiness of the description. To me, there is nothing 'by the ocean' of this, it seems very sweet and melony (like someone mentioned), It smells to me like Clinique's Simply, which I gave to my sister because of that melon sweetness - she loves it, so it must be a love/hate thing.

Fresh, clean, aquatic and sun warmed. Lavender, lemon and wind-whipped juniper or cypress with a touch of cucumber and musk. What I imagine bed sheets that had been hung on a clothes line atop a sea bluff might smell like. Very Pleasant, but not very interesting or exciting.

Yes, aquatic primarily, but the first note I get is distinctly one of watermelon, and not an artificial watermelon fragrance, as has shown up in countless shampoos bath gels recently, but a true, milder and greener scent of an actual summertime melon being sliced open, rind and all. There are some similarities to Sage Machado's Turquoise here, fruit and marine, although Turquoise is considerably more sweet and feminine. The woody medicinal note just peeks through a tiny bit, and keeps the mix interesting and unisex. Reminds me a bit of some of the hand rolled Himalayan medicinal incense, (pre-lighting). This woody medicinal note is a minor character though - with the marine/aquatic being the center stage player. Marine scents will never be my thing, but if ordered at gunpoint to wear one, I'd choose this.

this scent has got me looking into other aquatics, simply based on the other reviews. i thought it smelled fantastic, and stayed on for quite along time. i'll try some other aquatics like this though, before i commit to a full bottle

I agree with previous reviewer...this has been done before. Opening notes are very medicinal. Dry down is typical aquatic. Lasts about 4 hours.

This is a nice, authentic "salty air/ocean water" smell but it's been done. It is very familar to all the non-sweet ocean scents out there...still well done though.
