A celebration of transparency in all its forms. Transparency capable of evoking brightness, lightness,and freshness; but which can also transform into opalescence, suggesting shapes that are only partially defined. Transparency that can reveal, while simultaneously preserving, the enigma surrounding it. In Sea Thru, natural and molecular notes merge in a fougère that is both extraordinary and unexpected: as green as emerging leaves, as light as a weightless dance in water, as crisp as ice, as fresh as a cold plunge that delivers a stinging kiss, as shady as the undergrowth, and infinitely bright, evoking sunlight boldly entering through crystalline fluctuations.
In the creation of Sea Thru, perfumer Céline Barel finds her muse in synaesthesia, interweaving different sensory spheres and constructing new dimensions capable of awakening hidden aspirations and parts of herself. This process allowed her to envision new horizons and identify unexpected potential goals. On this magnificent journey, transparency gives way to mystery; it ripples, creating vortexes and vertigo, rebirth and light.

HOW IT WEARS
Opening glittering and bright with a zesty citrus opening, once Sea Thru has settled on the skin it becomes more tranquil and you pick up the serene saltwater accord. Cypress enrichens the composition while keeping things bright and fresh, and the fragrance is helped to last with the oakmoss and ambery resins in the base. Sea Thru is a light and fresh fragrance, and as such will last 4-6 hours on the skin.
LORE LOVES
Sea Thru is the fragrance version of floating on still ocean water, back to the ocean floor, face to the sky. It’s super refreshing and aquatic but not too sharp, instead smooth and cooling. An absolutely beautiful fougère aquatic!
