Notes: chlorine note, sea notes, jasmine
With the name being pronounced similar to Pekji's founder's first name, Ömer, Eau Mer is an aromatic aquatic with an unmistakeable gasoline accord.
Touted as a new take on the marine theme, it opens with some citrus and green components, which then gives way to the jasmine and ozonic notes. The overall impression is a clean, metallic, salty and somewhat smoky oceanic aroma, with a dash of aniseed. Resting on what appears to be a dank vetiver base, the convergence of these two latter stages produces moist algae facets.
With reasonable projection and very good staying power, one finds the use of aniseed too heavy-handed and its aquatic-tinted allusions to Christian Dior's Fahrenheit far too obvious. It's a respectable effort but nothing really earth-shattering.
