A brisk walk along a coastal path at dusk, where the salty air mixes with the warmth of floral notes and the earthy grounding of vetiver.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

South Of 5th by Adamo Parfum is a Floral Aquatic fragrance for women and men, launched in 2024. Crafted by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, it opens with marine notes and pink pepper, creating an invigorating freshness that cuts through the air like sea spray on a brisk day. The heart of neroli and tuberose adds floral warmth, while the base of haitian vetiver and indonesian patchouli leaf anchors the composition in earthy depth. This fragrance is built to transport you with its layered narrative, echoing the brand's dedication to creating scents that resonate deeply.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points — the marine top notes are bright but short-lived. The floral heart and woody base will take center stage after about an hour, so give it time to develop before heading out for the evening.
