Sailing Day مقابل Bal d'Afrique

The r/fragrance community views Sailing Day as a disappointing fragrance that fails to deliver on its marine concept. While it has a clean ocean quality, it suffers from poor performance, an unpleasant plastic/synthetic character, and is often compared unfavorably to other marine fragrances. Multiple users recommend skipping it in favor of better alternatives.

Bal d'Afrique is widely praised for its beautiful, unique scent profile with fresh citrus and creamy sweetness, making it an excellent signature fragrance for warm weather. However, the community consensus is tempered by significant concerns about poor longevity and weak projection, which many feel don't justify its premium price, recommending samples before purchase.
