How it wears
Description
Fragrance profile: Aromatic citrus. Lemon and orange blossom over lavender, rosemary, nutmeg and cardamom with teak and vetiver.
Where to wear it: Office, daytime and warm evenings. Smart, fresh and confident.
Marine Drive is a fresh men's perfume inspired by Jacques Bogart Silver Scent. Bright lemon and orange blossom open the scent, lavender and warm spices add an aromatic heart, and teakwood, vetiver, musk and tonka keep it long-lasting. A polished citrus fragrance, made in Pakistan at up to 40% oil concentration.
Fragrance notes
Top: Lemon, Orange Blossom
Heart: Lavender, Rosemary, Nutmeg, Cardamom
Base: Teakwood, Vetiver, Musk, Tonka Bean
How to wear it
Two sprays on the neck, one on the inside of each wrist, one on the shirt collar. Do not rub. In summer, drop to two sprays total — heat lifts oud faster than you expect.
What is inside
No animal-derived ingredients. Never tested on animals.
Shipping and returns
Dispatched same day on orders before 3pm. Next-day in Karachi, two to three days elsewhere in Pakistan. Seven-day return on the scent itself, even opened.
Why it costs less than the original
We put the budget into the oil rather than the bottle, the campaign and the department-store margin. Same note structure, our own composition, a fraction of the retail price.
Measured wear time
Up to 12 hours from one spray.
Two sprays on moisturised skin, in South Asian conditions. A standard designer eau de parfum at 15–20% oil sits at four to five hours on the same test.

What you smell, hour by hour
0 – 20 min
The opening
Bright and slightly sharp. This is the part most people judge a bottle on, and the part that matters least.
20 min – 3 hrs
The heart
This is what people around you actually smell for most of the day.
3 – 8 hrs
The base
Closer to the skin, warmer, and the reason one morning spray is still working at dinner.
8 hrs onward
The trace
Faint on skin, still clearly there on a shirt collar the next morning.
Why Lobster
The budget goes into the oil.
Imported oils
French and Turkish oils, bought at the same grade the houses buy, macerated here rather than shipped as finished juice.
Made in Pakistan
Blended and bottled in our own lab in Pakistan, made for South Asian conditions, which is why a bottle costs what it costs and why we can run small batches.
No department-store margin
No campaign, no counter, no distributor. The difference between our price and theirs is mostly what you are not paying for.
