SOTD - Osaito by M. Micallif
A polished aromatic aquatic thats unisex leaning masculine. It opens with sea notes and grapefruit citrus, evolves through myrtle and marigold florals, and dries to smooth musk, woods, sandalwood and amber. One of the most refined aquatics I’ve experienced. It’s clean, natural feeling, no harsh synthetics or heavy calone. It presents a warm oceanic vibe with soft florals; evokes Mediterranean and Asian coastlines beautifully. Excellent performance: strong opening projection, solid 7-10 hour longevity, good sillage. It’s versatile enough for spring/summer/office/vacation, and has enough herbal woody depth for cooler weather. To me it’s an underrated gem. My only complaint is it’s not revolutionary as it stays in familiar citrus-aquatic-woody territory. If you have Creeds Millésime Impérial this is likely redundant. Osaito is a solid, classy modern aquatic. Not genre defining, but highly wearable and atmospheric. If you like aquatic freshness it's a winner. Rating: 8/10 - Great niche pick for a refined oceanic scent.
