I Desire the Scent of a Luxurious Coastal Retreat—These Marine Fragrances Are the Solution.

      Salty, fresh, and undeniably luxurious? Marine fragrances embody the essence of an extravagant coastal retreat. Whenever I find myself fantasizing about a summer in The Hamptons, these are the scents I reach for. If you asked me to list some of the greatest perfumes of all time, I assure you that several marine scents would make the cut. In contrast to gourmand fragrances, these scents don't feature any vanilla notes. Instead, they are characterized by sparkling citrus notes, sea salt accords, and woody undertones that convey an air of luxury, making it seem like I spend my weekends basking in the sun with views of Malibu Pier. Though my budget may only allow for Brighton, my perfume collection gives the impression of something far more upscale. A marine fragrance could be the quintessential summer scent, making it a valuable addition for the warm months ahead. As a beauty editor who has tested countless fragrances over the years, I've compiled a list of my favorite seaside scents below, including both high-end favorites and affordable essentials. Whether you're heading for a coastal escape or simply seeking a touch of escapism at your desk, these are the marine perfumes worth knowing.

       **Best Marine Perfume Overall**

       Jo Malone London

       Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne

       **Key Notes:** Ambrette seeds, sea salt, and sage

       Starting with a classic (and a staple in my summer fragrance lineup), let me introduce you to Jo Malone London's Wood Sage & Sea Salt. As the name implies, this fragrance features sea salt notes along with ambrette seeds and earthy sage. To me, it evokes memories of weekends at the Cornish coast, feeling the breeze in my hair. It’s fresh, rejuvenating, and reminiscent of that initial whiff of sea air on my skin.

      2. **Orebella Salted Muse**

       **Best New Marine Perfume**

       Orebella

       Salted Muse Eau de Parfum

       **Key Notes:** Sea salt accord, pink pepper, olive tree accord, fig, lavender, cedarwood, sandalwood, and amber

       Next is this enchanting new fragrance from Bella Hadid's Orebella line. Salted Muse stands out as one of the most unique summer fragrances I’ve encountered recently, boasting a wonderful woody, aquatic scent that draws you in with the first spray. While it has classic marine elements due to the sea salt accord and sandalwood notes, hints of fig and lavender lend it an unexpected richness, making it feel incredibly luxurious.

       **Best Long-Lasting Marine Perfume**

       Victoria Beckham Beauty

       Portofino ‘97 Eau de Parfum

       **Key Notes:** Sea notes, vetiver, amber, and bergamot

       Speaking of luxury, I had to include Victoria Beckham Beauty Portofino ‘97 in this roundup. If a chic summer escape on the Italian Riviera appeals to you, this could be your next fragrance. It’s a sexy scent with citrusy undertones and a hint of spice from black pepper. Whenever I wear it, I imagine myself cruising along the Italian coast in a stylish convertible with designer sunglasses on my head.

      4. **Sol de Janeiro Agua Mistica Perfume Mist**

       **Best Affordable Marine Perfume**

       Sol De Janeiro

       Limited Edition Agua Mistica Perfume Mist

       **Key Notes:** Neroli, tangerine, salty accord, peony, jasmine, and cedarwood

       If you’re after a more budget-friendly marine fragrance, Sol De Janeiro is a fantastic choice. This limited edition body mist captures the essence of the coast with its notes of neroli, tangerine, and a salty accord. One spray of this, and I can almost hear the waves crashing nearby.

      5. **Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Media Cologne Forte**

       **Best Luxury Marine Perfume**

       MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN

       Aqua Media Cologne Forte Eau de Parfum

       **Key Notes:** Verbena accord, Italian bergamot, sweet fennel, and musk

       Picture that first sip of crisp water with a fresh squeeze of lemon after a long day at the beach. This is precisely what Maison Francis Kurkdjian's fragrance smells like. It’s light, fresh, yet entirely luxurious, and I want to envelop
