What if a fragrance could embody the vertigo of the great plunge, that moment when you let go and let life take you ?
Velvetvelo offers us this experience with Un Homme à la Mer – Cologne Virgin Mojito, a unisex fragrance as lively as it is unexpected. Created by perfumer Véronique Nyberg, this water-based cologne explores the sensations of a fresh breeze on the skin, transparent water in motion and a desire for absolute freedom. Tested by our editors, this fragrance reveals a singular olfactory signature, between explosive freshness and sensual intensity.

Virgin Mojito – invigorating freshness that hits hard
From the very first seconds, Un Homme à la Mer acts as an electroshock. The bright, thirst-quenching lime bursts into the head, mingling with a fizzy sensation reminiscent of a sip of iced mojito on the open sea. The effect is immediate: a breath of freshness that awakens, shakes and energizes. But this invigorating breeze soon gives way to a more complex heart: white flowers, delicate and powerful, are shaken by a peppery whirlwind. This contrast gives the fragrance real depth, an almost carnal tension.
Then comes the base note: a finely crafted, upcycled Virginia cedar that adds a warm, enveloping woody dimension. Far from breaking the marine momentum, this note anchors it with elegance, leaving a powerful, sensual trail on the skin. Un Homme à la Mer is the perfect blend of punchy freshness and lasting intensity. A fragrance that challenges, awakens and intrigues.
A cry from the heart… and from the ocean with Un Homme à la Mer
But Un Homme à la Mer isn’t just a fragrance. It’s also a declaration of love to the ocean. Inspired by the nautical alarm call, the name symbolizes a turning point, a voluntary abandonment, a plunge towards oneself. For Velvetvelo founder Serge Rach, it’s a personal tipping point: that of letting go, of choosing a new, gentler, more fluid course, in harmony with the elements.
This philosophy is reflected in the fragrance’s very formulation: alcohol-free, water-based, enriched with MANE Aquafine™ technology, for total respect for skin and planet. Long-lasting hold, gentle application, optimal safety – including for pregnant and breastfeeding women – Un Homme à la Mer embodies a new-generation perfumery. Ethical, inclusive and sustainable perfumery, without compromising on olfactory pleasure.
Velvetvelo’s luxury of freedom
With Un Homme à la Mer – Cologne Virgin Mojito, Velvetvelo has created a sensorial, emotional fragrance. It’s the fragrance of a decisive moment, when we choose to trust life, the wind and the water. A breeze that starts by awakening and gradually envelops, soothes and connects. More than a fragrance, it’s an experience, an adventure, an escape in a bottle.
