This Kingdom by the Sea Oil — a seaside story by Wylde Ivy
This Kingdom by the Sea Oil is a perfume oil by Wylde Ivy, created for those who love unusual unisex compositions with a distinctive character.
The fragrance is part of the A Midnight Dreary Collection and combines mineral, woody, green and aromatic facets.
Wylde Ivy is an independent American niche brand founded in 2006.
Its aesthetic revolves around atmospheric narratives, natural imagery and perfume stories that feel more like a mood or a single scene than an ordinary everyday accessory.
This Kingdom by the Sea Oil continues this DNA beautifully: it evokes the vastness of the coast, humid air and the warm texture of wood all at once.
The fragrance’s character and scent profile
Positioned as a unisex fragrance, it is equally appealing to women and men.
Its mood can be described as cool, natural and slightly mysterious: sea salt and a mineral accord create a sense of an open shoreline, green and aromatic nuances add liveliness, while a woody-ambery base lends the composition greater depth.
The defining feature of This Kingdom by the Sea Oil is its very strong sillage.
The oil formula unfolds close to the skin while leaving a noticeable and long-lasting aromatic presence, making the composition especially suitable for those who appreciate rich niche fragrances and want their perfume to be memorable.
The composition was created by perfumer Ashlee Krammes, who is also associated with the development of Wylde Ivy.
In her approach, natural motifs become an expressive image: there is no sense of anonymous freshness here; instead, a textured landscape emerges, filled with salty air, herbs, stone and woody warmth.
When and how to wear This Kingdom by the Sea Oil
The fragrance is well suited to cool weather, walks, travel and casual gatherings.
Its mineral-woody character pairs especially well with a relaxed wardrobe of denim, cotton, wool and leather, while its amber facet allows the composition to make an impression in the evening as well.
No precise recommendation for the number of applications to skin or clothing is available.
Given its very strong sillage, it is best to start with a minimal amount of oil and add more gradually if needed, applying it to pulse points or small areas of fabric.
Information about other concentrations of this fragrance is also unavailable.
