La Lettre Etretat — the marine mood of 2025
La Lettre Etretat is a unisex fragrance released in 2025 by La Lettre, a Russian perfume brand focused on expressive, contemporary compositions.
The olfactory idea behind Etretat revolves around cool sea air, mineral freshness and green-tinged cleanliness, giving it a natural feel that blends easily into the wardrobes of people with different style preferences.
In character, it is an eau de parfum with a noticeable, very powerful sillage.
Despite its fresh profile, the fragrance does not try to go unnoticed: it leaves an expressive airy-salty cloud and is well suited to those who enjoy a perfume that creates a distinctive aura around its wearer.
The fragrance's character and development
La Lettre Etretat combines citrus, marine, green, aromatic and mineral nuances.
The impression changes gradually: the fresh opening is sparkling and cool, then the composition becomes more transparent, salty and expansive, while a dry, herbaceous depth emerges in the finale.
This profile unfolds especially naturally in spring and summer, during walks by the water, trips, seaside holidays and active days in the city.
The unisex positioning feels entirely natural here: the fragrance veers neither into pronounced sweetness nor into a classically masculine direction, maintaining a balance of freshness, greenery and mineral texture.
Because of its very powerful sillage, La Lettre Etretat should be tested on the skin and observed for some time as it develops before applying it more generously.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing are provided for this release, so it is best to adjust the dosage gradually, starting with a small amount.
Its place in the La Lettre collection
Etretat continues the current interest in fragrances that convey not a specific floral bouquet, but a sense of space: a seashore, wind, wet stone and a clear horizon.
For La Lettre, this release is notable for combining transparent freshness with noticeable longevity, allowing the marine theme to sound rich and contemporary rather than flat.
Those drawn to the idea of a salty, fresh and slightly mineral composition may want to explore Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Limited Edition 2019.
At the same time, La Lettre Etretat retains its own character, distinguished by a more pronounced contrast between citrus coolness, sea salt and aromatic greenery.
