Sailor stories somehow managed to make a concept or genre that I can't abide into a really quite a pleasant thing, It doesn't make me as hard as a sailor's wang on shore leave, but I actually got some enjoyment from it. I'm not sure how Miguel has achieved that? Now I have made something reasonably similar to this called 'Seaside skanque' which was incredibly well received by others who tried it, even if I wasn't crazy about it myself. This clearly has more deftness of touch than mine and a natural feel of aquatic saltiness as you'd expect. The composition is eerily similar to mine too, Citrus top with white florals (I used jasmine-like Aroma chemicals, Hedione and neroli) he has used a jasmine like tone, which is creamy and lightens up the swashing, seashore accord of seaweed. Now he likely used seaweed absolute and mine was a combo of Ambergris tincture and traces of calone but I think the effect is kinda similar. Maybe there's calone in this too? or some other marine molecule? Basically it's creamy and warm with a salty kick, and the review below mentioning Antoine Lie is spot on that is the kind of vibe, perfectly encapsulated here. My least favourite from Miguel's four but I wouldn't wear it for taste reasons really but as a one off, I still like it. Sailor stories shows restraint and the ability to make something which is somewhat treading familiar territory and still narrowly avoids going horrible like a Secretions or a Sel Marin, Laboritivo Olfattino Salina.
