Description of the composition

The composition of Insense Ultramarine begins with a bright start: bergamot, black currant, galbanum, and watermelon create a refreshing and juicy chord that instantly attracts attention with its summer freshness.

In the heart of the fragrance, spicy and floral notes unfold: cloves, iris, lily-of-the-valley, magnolia, mint, and sage, adding depth and complexity, smoothly transitioning from the initial explosive energy to a softer and more thoughtful character.

The base completes the journey with warm and stable chords: oakmoss, sandalwood, tobacco, vetiver, and woody chord, ensuring longevity and a pleasant trail that leaves behind a trace of sophisticated masculinity.

This pyramid skillfully combines light and dark elements, creating a dynamic profile that develops on the skin throughout the day.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

I got a vintage fifty-ml for a ridiculous price, and it's simply wonderful! Memories of the old '96 bottle flood back. I haven't tried the modern reformulation, but the old version is truly good. The fragrance is rare, has a great sillage, and is unfamiliar to many of the current generation. It opens with exotic flowers - a bitter galbanum and sweet magnolia. Gradually, the floral brightness fades, giving way to mossy, spicy notes. Cardamom, vetiver, and cedar intertwine with floral sweetness, creating an unusual sound

"Have you been to Tahiti?" - this question seems to hang in the air. The turquoise color of the perfume evokes similar associations. A bright, sunny, June mood. The fragrance demands air, wind, and hot weather, and there absolutely must be the sea nearby!!! Although it has no marine or citrus notes whatsoever, it's still magnificent for summer. Tobacco is only a hint in the deep base. I don't detect any watermelon, blackcurrant, or mint at all. On the skin, the fragrance lasts long, has decent sillage, evoking nostalgic associations with a summer beach. If anyone smells chemicals or hairspray in it, I sincerely feel sorry for you. Try the old releases, perhaps that's the issue.

P.S. Old versions differ in the inscriptions on the bottle. The GIVENCHY logo is at the bottom on new versions, and in the middle, in large letters, on old ones

The scent of this perfume composition includes cardamom, cedar, musk, bergamot, citruses, mint, and tobacco. Such a luxurious bouquet will surely appeal to modern and active men. This is truly something special!

Is there anything new? I've only heard about the old version, but unfortunately, I didn't get to try it. The advertising back then was top-notch! Look at that photo of the man on the seashore! Nothing like today, with these spoiled boys and girls 😄

The scent is just awful! No longevity whatsoever, only causes irritation, not imagination. Sensual? Not at all! Masculinity is also questionable here. I don't understand how anyone can praise this!!!
