What does Terra Firma by Thomas Clipper smell like?

In a world filled with fleeting trends and generic fragrances, Thomas Clipper presents Terra Firma—a unique masculine marine scent.

A fresh and invigorating journey from the aquatic to the green, Terra Firma evokes the confidence and achievement of dry land after a long voyage. Here's how British GQ describe the scent profile of Terra Firma:

 

"Made with 100 percent organic alcohol, it opens with a fruity zing of elemi, pink pepper and hints of pineapple and pear; vibrant, energetic and full of vitality. The next act showcases aquatic heart notes balanced by lavandin, black pepper and clary sage, before drifting into a lingering and comforting base of tonka bean, amber, moss, woody notes and musk.

An artisanal, marine/green eau de toilette that is versatile and full of refined and timeless elegance."
