L'Edition Mer is a bright fragrance bursting with citrus and green notes.
The first spritz brings that citrus, zesty and lemony in the form of the yuzu note. The green notes come along and according to the brand , the scent uses green shiso leaf living , a plant grown hydroponically. That leads to an aquatic feeling, but a very light one . It never gets bogged down by any dewiness but is more fresh . Muguet adds a hint of floral and by the drydown the fragrance is a soft woods tinged citrus.
L'Edition Mer wears lightly and is a great Summer complement but I happily wear my citruses all year. For me, they always work.
As with many citrus scents, I love this and Balenciaga scents have yet to disappoint. Last years's B. Balenciaga is a beauty and a favorite , as is the violet/chypre original fragrance.

I found Balenciaga Paris L'edition Mer to be the ultimate in luxury freshness. It is aquatic and reminds of the exhilaration of the ocean. I found it to be non-sweet, non-aftershave like unlike other fresh perfumes which is what I like. It is a feel-good, energizing scent that is light, subtle but lingers and appears periodically like the original Paris. The bottle is beautiful. This is the whole package. I've been looking forever for the fresh perfume and I finally found it.
