Gulf Breeze

Brand: Solstice Scents

Scent Description:

Gulf Breeze was offered years ago. This fragrance has been re-imagined and reformulated, though smells similar to the original version. The beachy aquatic scent of sand, saltwater, wind, seashells, wind blown sea oats, soft ambergris and a distant storm fast approaching. It is a crisp, clean, fresh, salty and refreshing aquatic fragrance. Imagine standing on a dock as a storm is about to roll in, the air is thick with energy and as the sky turns gray, you are splashed with salty spray from the gulf. It opens with a briny saltwater and touch of roasted sea shells, similar to Sea of Gray but not quite as heavy on the seaweed. The atmosphere begins with a sunny day at the beach, though a solid slate-gray sky is not far off. The soft scent of misty rain develops shortly after application, though the saltwater remains in the forefront of this fragrance and is a dominant player into the dry down. Try layering During the Rain underneath and on top of Gulf Breeze to add a bit more stormy atmosphere.

Notes: Saltwater, sand, seashells, sea oats, rain

  1. Photorealistic ocean smell with even a bit of dankness, this is no dryer sheet “ocean” scent. Ocean and vanilla – I would like it better without the vanilla, or the seashells.

  2. Gulf Breeze is overcast and cool, and you can smell the seaweed absolute used here as wet and greeny. This is primarily salt tang, seaweed, and ambergris on the skin for me – it’s not pretty, but it does smell like ocean. It’s murky and it leans on the side of that smell that happens when kelp washes up on the shore. It’s also pungent.

    I wouldn’t wear it to work unless I wanted my coworkers to think I had just crawled out of a particularly smelly fishing boat as a newly realized sea witch.

  3. This smells exactly how it sounds. It smells like being by the water. Immediately, I get a lot of hot sand and saltwater. It’s really strong. After ten minutes or so, I can smell the seashells – It’s cold and dry but slightly animalic somehow. It’s really interesting. I can’t say that I noticed the oats, but they may have been there.

  4. /The/ lake scent. It’s sandy, it’s got that kinda gross but kinda nice lake water scent, cool rain, a fresh breeze, and that musky almost nutty baked seashell note. Honestly super refreshing and has surprising strength.
