Review of Nothing but Sea and Sky by Maru

Nothing but Sea and Sky! I love you. The aroma, the poetry, the memories of a cold beach with wind in your hair. In Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman wrote “From Montauk Point,” where he reflects and declares: “Nothing but sea and sky…” This fragrance feels like that exact moment translated into scent. Built around bright bergamot, sandalwood, and white musk, this perfume captures an outdoorsy, romantic, and deeply poetic mood. It smells like a milky, slightly salty aquatic—clean, airy, and minimalist, with a very realistic sea vibe. Chic, effortless, and incredibly easy to wear. The musk is clean and almost soapy, while the wood is warm and gently sweet, like driftwood baking under the sun. It’s comforting but not heavy, quiet but emotionally present. Longevity is solid at 6–7 hours, with a fairly linear evolution that works in its favor. I’d rate it 8 /10. It lives in the same world as Musk Therapy, Parisian Musc (a bit sweeter), and Mon Ami Choix. Sunny Side Up feels more like a soft Neroli Portofino to me, and this one is better. Nothing but sea. Nothing but sky.
