Mariel (1993)
by H2O+

Mariel is an aquatic / fruity / floral somewhat green fragrance that is light, refreshing, feminine, and youthful. Its list of fruit, sounds like the offerings in the fruit market around the corner from my apartment: Grapefruit, Mandarin, Passion Fruit, Mango, Guava, and Papaya: but don’t worry… it’s much less busy / abundant than it sounds. The fruit accord is subtly and well done and quite refreshing. The aquatic part of the fragrance seems a little old fashioned… a little 1995. It is clean and it seems to be made up primarily of citruses and light greens, and it has good lasting power. It is light and it would be hard to over apply. I conceive this fragrance an anti-fragrance fragrance.
