? a fragrance combining ocean and pine trees (Maine coast)

I'm posting here rather than the gals' thread because I think I'll have more luck, I like to wear men's fragrances, and "beachy/suntan lotion" fragrances eg Jennifer Anniston, Bobbi Brown are not what I'm thinking of.

I've tried the following, but they're not "it":

Heeley Sel Marin
Ayala Moriel Orcas
Tokyomilk Marine Sel

The closest so far has been DSH Blue-Green: Arnica, but only in a very abstract way. I'm craving fir tree + ocean, as in Quoddy Head beach in Lubec, Maine. Would also welcome suggestions on fragrances to layer to get this combination.

Thanks for your help! Lisa

I know the name is supposedly representing the west coast, but New West for Men, (Aramis) is exactly the mixture you are looking for and done very well. At least please give it a try !!

Granville is terrific.

You might even want to check out Fou d'Absinthe (L'Artisan Parfumeur) and Filles en Aiguilles (Serge Lutens) while you're in a pine state of mind.
