Capturing the smell of the Wadden Sea and turning it into a wearable perfume has been my most challenging project so far. But I believe we got it. 
According to an avid mudflat hiker who helped me test the perfumes, this perfume is much like the Wadden Sea and the people who live there: "It is a rough, but honest and natural beauty that blends together perfectly. You will appreciate it more once you get to know it." 

If you are not sure if this WAD scent would suit your skin (despite those amazing ingredients listed below), you can order a 3ML sample bottle. This includes a €5 voucher for the 50ML bottle! The sample bottle is also an ideal tiny bottle to cary with you while traveling, or to keep in your car for last minute perfume sprays.

Salty?
Although everyone expects it to smell salty, there is no salt in WAD perfume, because salt by itself is completely odorless. What you actually smell during a walk along the islands' coasts are dead seaweeds and algae. So those are among the ingredients. There is also bergamot and clary sage to give the idea of salt. You will smell the harbor thanks to some sisal rope. You will smell the old and dusty 'juttersheds' thanks to a drop of nutmeg. It also contains a good dose of oudh and ambergris for that wet and windy beach smell. And last but not least there is, of course, pine, because the islands are covered with them.

Unisex
Our perfumes are not specifically made for men or women. Marketing helps create the concept of 'male' or 'female' fragrances. But the fact is they act differently on anyone's skin. So all of our perfumes are unisex.

Eau de Parfum is a very strong form of perfume, containing about 20% of pure perfume essence. Just one to two sprays on each wrist in the morning will keep you smelling amazing for the entire day.
