This project is an Artisan Dixit original fragrance! Noah was invited to contribute alterations, but he liked the fragrance so much as it was that he declined. This is the epitome of a classy, mature blue fragrance. It is salty, aquatic, floral, and fresh with great versatility. It would work equally well in an office setting or dressed up in a tuxedo or gown. It is unisex.

Oakmoss, Musk, Patchouli, Vetiver, Cedar, Amber, Clary Sage, Sea Shells
Not what i was expecting. This smell evolves as you wear it. Starts out completely different from how it dries down.I dont care for the opening, but its well done. Projection doesnt last long though.
I always worry when I have high expectations for something; when I did a single paper spray of Octopus after acquiring a bottle I thought wow. How does it do a couple weeks later? Oh yes, wow! The bergamot and mandarin sea mist fold in with the lavender laundry even in the open. It got on my fingers and I can't stop sniffing them like a weirdo. When it slides into the middle notes the neroli and cotton are bigger for me than the seaweed -- that comes off more as seagrass to me, which is good because it prevents a dirty ocean vibe. This is gorgeous! Then there's that base. I love me a patchouli, vetiver, and oakmoss combo so I'm thoroughly enjoying this combination. It lightly sits on the skin like a silk sheet flapping over your sleeping face from a prevailing wind off of the rocky coast that pushes past the sage bush outside your cottage window. This isn't a beach fragrance, this is a Cliffs of Moher fragrance, cold water beneath you as an angry ocean slams the rocks, but you're safely above the fray and benefiting from that cool mist. The biggest concern I have is I'm going to overspray like a madman to keep catching the open/middle notes and end up needing a new bottle.
I received this perfume at the same time that I received Plummy Intense. Of course I smelled both and loved both! However, I set Octopus off to the side and was wearing Plummy for days. I realized I hadn't worn Octopus out yet, and subsequently sprayed myself as I was headed out. Oh my gosh!!! This fragrance is BEAUTIFUL 😍 I was complimented ALL DAY LONG! Highly recommend this perfume!
Loved it.
I was not expecting the profile, it exceeded expectations. I need a larger bottle next time!
Super clean fresh salty and aquatic
