Alive with meaning and African oceans. Our fine fragrance has been created with two dominant notes.: African ocean minerals. These capture our relationship and experience in the water. The minerals in the ocean are understood by our bodies and minds in almost imperceptible ways. Our nose can identify them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe scent of 'green bar soap' captures the daily lived experience of African surfers growing up in Southern Africa. Green bar soap is a common household soap found throughout the region, that has the power to conjure memories for many people, summoning up the idea of home, or mother, fresh linen, or the beginning of a new day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe signature fragrance was developed in partnership with South African-born Etienne de Swardt, founder of niche fragrance house Etat Libre D'Orange.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEWS of Mami Wata Neo-Animism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a high quality, incredible freshie, Aquatic fragrance. This is what I hoped Creed Silver Mountain Water would smell like. It's salty, mineral rich, fresh, SUPER clean with a natural smelling soap facet. Very smooth and beautifully blended, I absolutely adore this fragrance, and can't recommend it enough. It's easily jumped to the top end of my favorite Freshie list. Nothing else I've smelled smells like this it's a must try for Aquatic lovers. Completely unisex.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuckyScent -\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a lovely fragrance. Very intense soapy, salty marine opening. Punchy and fresh. The dry down is still soapy, but maybe more woodsy and herbaceous. Overall, very wearable, pleasant scent. Unlike any other fragrance I have smelled, yet very familiar. Looking forward to wearing this in the summer heat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuckyScent -\u003c\/strong\u003e It is so wonderful. I have never experienced the African ocean or held green soap so I cannot make those comparisons but it is very light and clean while having this very mysterious staying power. I put it on this morning and laying in bed now it is so warm and strong but I love it. It smells sky blue but feels like new suede. I understand why Mami Wata is a water spirit now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuckyScent -\u003c\/strong\u003e Love this fragrance...hard to pin point or compare. African soap was not anything I was familiar with, but took a chance. The dry down is lovely, clean and fresh with great staying power without overwhelming. I am always searching for a clean \"soap\" smell without the powdery finish and this offers a unique twist on a clean smell. Back to the office is not a concern with this fragrance..\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFragrantica - wow! this scent is awesome! i was really intrigued by the meager two notes listed here and bought a sample. this is a lot more complicated than it looks. i would definitely say the lemon and salt description is very accurate, but underneath is a darker smell. its like an darkly overcast, maybe even rainy beach. it reminds me of the oregon coast a little bit. i think you could wear this just about anywhere but i'm really excited to go into work with this.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e I really like the scent - to me (F) it is a bit more masculine leaning - I originally bought it for myself, as I love clean soapy smells. It was not a perfect match for me, but my husband really loved and and claimed the whole bottle (I also like how is it smelling a bit more on him). It is a perfect summer scent and has a surf-boy playfulness in it, while smelling clean and a bit citrusy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e I love Neo-Animism! It's such a cleeeean (unsurprising, I know - considering it's inspired by soap!), superbly blended smooth, fresh scent that manages NOT to smell like cleaning products or another banal \"clean fragrance.\" This one is really interesting and refreshing to wear - it has decent yet moderate sillage with impressive longevity (two major pluses in my book). I've never smelled African Green Soap but am enchanted by the very specific inspiration behind this fragrance. Neo-Animism smells like the lesser celebrated beach vacation type scent: it's not about coconutty sunscreen or fruity cocktails but instead about the smell of the surf, sun warmed-sand, and this beautiful soap you use after a day in the hot sun. Very cool, original and unlike any other 'clean' or 'beachy' fragrance I've tried. Happy to have this in my collection \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003eSo addicting! This is a very briny\/salty kinda generic classic beach scent but in the best way possible.Kinda borders on being synthetic and natural but in a really nice way. I love it! Would love to get a full bottle and wear it on only the hottest of days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e Very impressive sea mineral notes that I have waited over 30 years for. Not exaggerating, throughout the 2000s, companies have been pushing \"sea notes\" and \"water notes\" that smell like a screechy chemical mess of freshness. This actually smells of the ocean salts on your body after a dip, sun drying out, and putting clean clothes back on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you're baffled by the notes, you could call it Lemon and Salt, drying into almost pure mineral. There is some kind of waxy feeling that reminds you of older soap brands like the one this perfume is meant to replicate....Kind of cool to have a South African cologne in my collection now!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e It smells like soap and the sea. I thought I hated soapy fragrances but here we have a fragrance that's explicitly meant to smell like soap and I love it! It's just so bright and refreshing and makes me happy. I've never smelled Sunlight, the South African green soap this is based on, but I'm very tempted now to find a bar to compare.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe sea salt\/mineralic quality really makes this fragrance so evocative. I feel like I'm waxing my surfboard with the sea breeze blowing in my hair. It's great for hot weather, but I'm wearing it now in the winter to give me that summer feeling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e Opens with a salty aquatic lemon freshness. Dries down to a animalic oceanic vibe that expresses realistic beachy smell that other mainstream perfumes don't capture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mami Wata","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 ML - 1\/2 filled sample vial","offer_id":45306621788321,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-1","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML – glass sample vial","offer_id":45103944007841,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-2","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Spray in a 2 ML Atomizer","offer_id":46445996703905,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-1S","price":6.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":45306621821089,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-3","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":45306621853857,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-4","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":45103944106145,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-5","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Roll On","offer_id":45103944138913,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-6","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":45306621886625,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-7","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ML - glass spray","offer_id":45103944204449,"sku":"MamiWataneoAnimism-8","price":85.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1993\/6689\/files\/mamiWataNeoAnimisk.jpg?v=1757095092","url":"https:\/\/theperfumedcourt.com\/products\/mamiwataneoanimism","provider":"The Perfumed Court","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
