PEAU

Overall vibe:

A salty, musky “skin scent” with a warm ambergris glow and a soft spicy edge—intimate, sensual, and very human. 

Overall, it feels like warm skin after intimacy—clean, slightly salty, softly musky, and deeply personal.

Longevity:

7–10 hours (moderate to strong for a skin scent)
The ambergris + musk base lingers for hours, even though the scent stays subtle.

Projection:

Soft to moderate
It creates a noticeable but intimate aura, then settles into a close, skin-hugging scent—very much a “lean in closer” fragrance.

When / where to wear:

Year-round (especially spring and fall)
Daytime or evening (very versatile)
Dates, intimate settings, close-contact environments
After shower / layering
Situations where you want to smell natural, sensual, and effortless

Best for:

Lovers of skin scents (musky, ambergris, clean but warm)
People who enjoy minimalist, intimate fragrances
Fans of salty/ambergris notes (like clean ocean skin)
Those who prefer subtle sensuality over loud projection
Anyone looking for a “your skin but more seductive” signature scent
