Mar EternaMarine Woody Eau de Parfum

Mar Eterna by Ramón Béjar is a marine woody citrus eau de parfum, unisex, created by Ramón Béjar himself. It belongs to the My Colourful Symphony collection and its name means the eternal sea.

Granada and Barcelona, a cultural symphony

Ramón Béjar is a Spanish house based in Barcelona, whose founder is also the nose. It presents itself as a philosophy rather than a brand: bringing together the most sophisticated essences and plants on the planet in limited-edition and numbered fragrances. Its positioning can be summed up in one sentence — formed in the Arab-Andalusian heritage of Granada, nourished by the artistic spirit of Barcelona — and the house speaks of a cultural symphony, where Middle Eastern perfumery meets Western olfactory tastes. The catalog is divided into two collections: My Universe Privée, eight perfumes born from a childhood passion for the mystical; and My Colourful Symphony, four brighter and more dynamic compositions, including this one.

An opening of ozonic notes, yuzu and lime

The house describes this moment precisely: before diving, we are greeted by a sea breeze. The ozonic notes give the smell of iodine, the yuzu its Japanese acidity between grapefruit and mandarin, the lime its frank zest. The entry is delicate and refreshing, never loud.

A heart of sandalwood, mahogany, seaweed, watermelon, vetiver and mint

Then comes the immersion. The sandalwood and mahogany envelop with a woody and aromatic warmth, and blend with the actual marine notes: the seaweed, the watermelon for its sweet water, the vetiver for the root, the mint for the cold. It is the richest part of the perfume, and the most unexpected — a marine that contains wood.

A base of powdery spices

The journey closes on warm powdery spices, that is the word of the house. The base is short and sweet: it does not seek to artificially prolong a freshness, it accompanies it to the end.

The house's approach

Mar Eterna is the only perfume of the house whose olfactory progression is told step by step, and this narrative is the key to the composition: before the dive, the breeze and the citrus; once immersed, the warm woods mixed with seaweed; then the spices. The choice is rare — most marine perfumes remain cold and transparent from beginning to end, this one brings sandalwood and mahogany into the middle of the water. It is what gives it, according to the house, a deep rather than light freshness.

For whom, for what occasions?

For those who love marine perfumes but find them too flat and too short. It is a spring and summer perfume, wearable from morning to night, with good longevity and a clear sillage. Mar Eterna Ramón Béjar will appeal to those who want water with wood in it.
