    Silence the Sea is the true essence of the sea. Forget the horrors of Calone and sweet aquatics – this scent captures all the stony, mineral silence of a deserted beach in winter. Because it is a brand deeply invested in organic, sustainable raw material production, Strangelove NYC was able to source an ethically-harvested (beach cast) piece of ambergris and use it as the star in this composition. And indeed, it is the strange, salty-sweet airiness of ambergris that dominates here. It floats at the center, emanating an aura of fresh marine air, earth, dried newspapers, tobacco, and even the warm funk of a freshly-cleaned horse stable. Ambergris is, in short, the salty, yeasty smell of a child’s head after hours of playing on a cold beach. Cleverly, the perfumer has chosen to not overshadow the ambergris but simply flank its already-complex smell with a host of complimentary “flavors”, such as the minty bitterness of angelica, the earthy funk of truffle, and the vegetal, rubbery texture of tuberose. These notes play a valiant second fiddle to the ambergris, emphasizing its flinty, mineral sweetness and extending its unearthly radiance in all directions. Those who love the mysterious, almost indefinable smell of the salt air on a cold beach will adore Silence the Sea.

    Notes:

    ambergris, oud, tuber, jasmine, tuberose, angelica

    Transformative. Bravo.

    I agree with the other reviewer. Almost brought me to tears, truly, and I am not one to speak so dramatically. I felt a flood or memories and visuals come to mind. Living on the no longer operational Coast Guard base that is Governor's Island in NYC as an adolecent. Commuting to and from Manhattan for school. The smell of the sea , the ferry terminal pilings greased with creosote , the mineral heavy whiff of corrosion on metal hulls and seawall cyclone fences. The colors I see are the dense tide water estuary green of the east river but also the deep Atlantic blue in the depths and on the horizon. Gosh. For me this is addictive , and I UNDERSTAND NOW , AMBERGRIS , amazing.
    This is actually the story of the sea in a bottle.

    Intoxicating

    I've never had a signature before, but all I want to wear is this. I resent the money I've spent on other colognes up to this point. No doubt this will pass, but I recently (and reluctantly) tried a sample of Malles' "The Night," a scent nearly guaranteed to make me fall in love with it. "Meh," was all I could say. I couldn't wait to wash it off and apply Silence the Sea. I'm afraid this is what addiction looks like.

    Don’t buy this is mine

    This perfume is the perfume of the book perfume: story of a murder. This is the most intoxicated, sexy, and magical . When I first smell it I got on tears. This is my scent !

    The real deal ambergris

    Too forward to wear in public, except maybe to a gathering of fragrance afficionados. I've never smelled something so pungent and strong. Impressive formulation, if only perhaps for the technical and artistic aspects of this composition. If you want to know what ambergris is you cannot go wrong with this one.
