Sailing Day

Somehow lasted 19 hours on my skin, and I have EXTREMELY dry skin. I absolutely love this scent because of its freshness and cleanliness. It’s genuinely the definition of “Sailing Day”. It’s not synthetic at all, it smells really natural but not in an overpowering way. I remember smelling it for the first time, and my clogged nose cleared out of nowhere NOT because it smelled synthetic or harsh but because of how fresh and clean it was. You’ll need a lot of sprays if you want people to smell it, though.

Although I enjoy several Maison Margiela fragrances, Sailing Day is the only full bottle I own from the house because it truly was love at first sniff. I tend to prefer EDPs and parfums for their lasting power, which might be why I haven’t gravitated toward the brand’s EDT‑heavy lineup as much. Still, Sailing Day stands out and has staying power for an EDT. Its fresh, clean, aquatic vibe is uplifting and cuts through hot days without feeling heavy or overly perfume‑y.

One of my favorite scents ever, starts out very fresh and soapy, turns into a really nice sea spray salty ocean. I do get the seaweed note in the dry down, which I love. It lasts super long on the skin, I can spray it one morning and smell it on my skin the next, but it doesn't project AT ALL. You could spray 20 times and withing 20 minutes people have to directly smell the skin to get a whiff.

Sailing Day is a beautiful aquatic floral scent. It really captures the vibe of being on a rich, white yacht. It smells like waves hitting the boat and splashing a cool, salty mist onto you. There’s a sweet, salty quality to it, but not the same type of sweetness you get from Ocean Noir, which is more of a juicy nectarine. Sailing Day is more like a fresh, blue floral wave hitting you.

Got a decant size of this. I love it! On first spray I could instantly smell the aquatics in it. As time went on I got more of a fresh and clean soap smell which I love. It is not cloying at all and is very light and airy. A great scent to use on a warm summer day with the wind slightly blowing! Almost up there with Melody of the Sun for me! I just wish it lasted longer! 9/10
