as part of some additional gifts generously included by the owner Kimberly together with my purchase, i was intrigued to receive this one-of-a-kind "testing blend" (no notes provided) which was created in the process of developing another ocean scent, «Lorelei».
from a blind sniff, «Deep Ocean Vast Sea» certainly lives up to its namesake.
this isn't your typical summer beach or tropical island getaway - the wateriness of the high seas comes through immediately, and a strong ozone component gives the scent realistic 'dark and stormy' vibes.
the sharpness of the ozone is tempered slightly by a blend of light florals evocative of the peacefulness and tranquility of the open ocean, without sacrificing any of the tempestuous fierceness beneath.
as with the other melts i've tried from Athame and Alchemy, this has a good throw even in solid form, and lasted for five to six hours in my melter.
7.5/10 a great realistic atmospheric which i was honoured to have experienced, and would have been happy to purchase more of (if it were available). it's definitely piqued my curiosity for how the final blend «Lorelei» will turn out!

this review is of an additional gift that was included with my purchase. i wasn’t asked to review this as a condition of receipt and didn’t receive any incentives for writing this. i’m not affiliated with Athame and Alchemy and as always, all opinions remain my own.
neither «Deep Ocean Vast Sea» nor «Lorelei» currently appear to be available on the brand's website here (non-affiliated link).
all information correct at time of publishing.
