Finally got around to trying another Sorce special order scent, Pelicans Dive in the Ocean. The name of this scent is definitely unique and eye-catching! I wouldn’t say this was one I was too interested in initially, but at this point, I am trying so many special orders from Sorce, that I want to try any that I would be remotely interested in. I got this in an oil format from Ajevie. I am familiar with Ambroxan and I do like it, it is a synthetic ambergris ingredient. It does kinda remind me of a conventional or department store fragrance. It does seem to be an ingredient that can induce headaches in people that get headaches from fragrances (though different things can trigger headaches for different people.) Thankfully, I don’t experience headaches from fragrances as far as I know and I am prone to migraines in general so I think I would’ve known by now. 

Notes : Palo santo, pear, fresh linen, sea salt, Ambroxan, ambrette, sunlight playing off of clear blue water *fruity musk

This is pretty unique compared to the other perfumes in Sorce’s catalogue. I don’t really get pear though, it is more like a nondescript, slightly green, fruit smell, not like a juicy pear. This has a pleasant department store freshie perfumey scent. It is slightly aquatic and salty, but also a bit laundry like. Like a fresh linen blue colored candle or like a beachy/sandy candle. It fades into a pleasant airy shampoo scent, or like white musk. I wasn’t super wowed by the scent because it wasn’t what I was imagining, but it is really nice and pleasant. I can see this being appealing to anyone. It wafted over me all day. I am glad I tried something new and could check it off my list. I would be interested in a bit more complexity and fruitiness, as the musk was dominating for me and I could not smell any palo santo. This is a clean and simple scent that could be genderless.
