“I was inspired by the concept of duality and the different characteristics of the ocean. I knew this fragrance had to have the ability to be both calm and wild in spirit. I used cardamom and the smoke of palo santo to symbolize the roughness and strength of the sea. The calmer more serene ingredients like clary sage, cucumber and woods symbolize the ‘no wake zone’ peaceful and meditative. Together they create the perfect harmony that encompasses the diversity of the sea and the UOMO man.” — Firmenich Perfumer, Clement Gavarry
