In the bottle: Very oceanic (or at least what I imagine the ocean would smell like, considering I've never been there), salty, and very fresh.
Wet on my skin: The scent intensifies greatly and I can definitely smell the leather now.
Dry on my skin: Sweet, but yet a little spicy. (The hubby thinks I smell like a library. ) It does smell a little like traditional men's colognes, but so much better. And pirate-y to boot. After it dries completely I'm able to smell the rum a bit.
Final thoughts: I love this scent, and I absolutely adore it on the hubby and might need to buy a large bottle. It's very masculine, but I can definitely see myself wearing it occasionally.
