The Mariner's Rhyme

Inspiration
The Mariner's Rhyme captures the essence of a sailor on a stormy sea, with a metallic edge like a razor blade, cold, ozonic storm winds and the dark depth of the ocean. Inspiration came from Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Iron Maiden's adaptation and above all King Crimson's Sailor's Tale. The scent is fully vegan.

The Signature of The Mariner's Rhyme
Bergamot, grapefruit and ozonic notes open cold and metallic, with lavender and elemi as sharp herbs. Orange blossom and iris give a pale, soft core, and ambergris, oakmoss, musk, patchouli and incense form a dark, briny chypre.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
The Mariner's Rhyme is a sea scent unlike most we know: no summer holiday, but a storm on the North Sea. The metallic edge is truly palpable, cold and sharp, and then the incense arrives as the dark depth beneath the waves. We find the iris a beautiful, quiet moment amid all that violence. For music lovers with a taste for prog rock, the story is a treat. A rugged, poetic scent.
