If you’re looking for a fragrance to give holiday nostalgia or to get yourself in the summer mood, Helley Parins Sel Marin is the smell of the beach, the smell of your skin when you get out of the beautiful blue, azure sea surrounded by fresh air and sun.

Sel Marin is composed of notes you may not have come acccross before such as sea water, salt and algae as well as lemon, italian bergamot, beech leaf, moss, cedar, musk and leather. It’s so ozonic – I cannot wait to take this on holiday with me and in the meantime, will be wearing it out and about on our odd days of heat and sun!

Many of the Heeley fragrances are very photorealistic, and the ones I’ve tried and particularly loved are Cocobello and Bubblegum Chic – they’re such guilty pleasures! If you’re wanting to try before you buy and don’t have a Harvey Nichols near you, Heeley have a sampling service here.
