just arrived today damn this is GORGEOUS! perhaps the best aquatic in the frag world I love oceanic scents & this is possibly the best I love the seaweed aspect that makes this SO unusual impressed by my 1st purchase from this house I will wear the hell out of this in our tropical weather JIM from MIAMI BEACH
I remember this one being hyped a few years ago by the RUclips reviewers of yore, then everyone forgot about it, great you put a spotlight on it again, never got around to trying it.
Interesting. I had 2 samples from Heeley, Note de Yuzu and Orange St Clements I believe. Couldn’t handle Note de Yuzu. Orange of St Clements Was nice but I thought it would of been a bit different. Didn’t love it. Maybe need to wear it more. You try them? Great review as usual my Bro✌🏻
love your description Ive never smelled it your description makes me want this at $180 though Im not going to blind buy this one I have the feeling I will love this one since I am a big MARINE frag fan my signature scent is TOM FORD OUD MINERALE this one by HEELEY sounds terrific thanks for bringing this to my attention JIM from MIAMI BEACH
I'm stuck down here in Fredericksburg/Stafford since I work at home or travel to client sites...so I'm not getting up to DC, Arlington or Bethesda these days. I don't miss the drive, but Saks/Nordstrom/Blookingdale's or fragrance boutiques in these parts. I recently tried Alien Man and Aqua di Gio Absolu and was not impressed with either offering...not bad, just generic "Meh" IMO. Oh, I ordered Mancera Black Gold, Mancera Red Tobacco Mancera Sand Aoud, Dunhill Icon Racing and Ferrari Radiant Bergamot for my upcoming birthday....can't wait to try them. Actually, I tried Sand Aoud years ago...loved it, just not enough to order a bottle at full-price years ago; I'm sure Icon Racing will have that Sauvage quality, but I just love those Icon bottles; and Radiant Bergamot is getting a lot of favorable reviews. If you haven't already done so, order yourself a bottle of Rasasi Hawas....my most complimented fragrance, ever, of more than 600 fragrances in my Scent Armory. I was in a bit of turmoil since Notino packed their bags here in the US (my place for Rasasi and a lot of Middle Eastern frags) but fragrancebuys.ca turned-out to be a reliable site: fragrancebuy.ca/products/rasasihawas-man fragrancebuy.ca/products/ferrariradiantbergamot-man (only about $30...a gem even if it's only one-half as good as Bright Neroli. Cheers.
I would love to see a review after you've had some time with it.. Offhand, it's similar to Aqua Invictus (70%) with the other 30% being Mancera Wild Fruits and Chanels Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. Just my opinion. I like Aqua Invictus (2016) but Hawas is a ton better and, for a freshie, lasts all day and into the evening. The only issue I've heard with Hawas has to do with reformulation. I have several of the older 2015/2016 bottles and they kick like a mule. I recently received batches from late 2017 (haven't had much time with them) and I'm trying to determine if they perform as well. I have received several compliments while wearing them, but they were all received shortly after having applied the fragrance. To be honest, I am not noticing much difference (it smells the same) but sometimes these reformulation issues make people go a little mental and perceive things that may not be true.
Ryan , if you haven't yet, get in touch with Heeley in Europe themselves. They offer great deals. Sometimes free shipping on everything. If you haven't , please try their Cuir Pliene . Heeley doesn't make it anymore. Notes de Yuzu is nice also. Eau Sacree is great, Got that. I have Sel Marin. *Sounth Bay* is super nice too. *Costa Mediterrane* is awesome for acqutics . What I like about Sel Marin is that it doesn't smell like a cheap dirty fish tank. I've sampled a couple like that. I had no clue we didn't know when Sel Marin came out . Sounds like a challenge. OK , consider taken *SIR* . he he *First review on Fragrantica in regards to Sel Marin is 1/13/2010* . here's that link www.fragrantica.com/perfume/James-Heeley/Sel-Marin-7852.html *Let's check BaseNotes* Got a review from *2008* www.basenotes.net/fragrancereviews/fragrance/26130017 I'll try and find more info for us Ryan .

Well I call it Performance Roma so the performance is better with ADS. Both are great and very happy to have both in my collection. Thanks for talking about that one. Not much talk and I really enjoy it. I appreciate you watching and thanks for commenting:)
this is a great sophisticated unique AQUATIC fragrance that is one-of-a-kind perfect for where I live especially for outdoor events I like that no one else will smell like me JIM from MIAMI BEACH

Have you smelled Issey miyake summer 09? This really strongly reminds me of it.

Boss just wanna ask a quick question....compared to Acqua Di Sale of Pro Roma, projection n longevity is far or less...
