From Hawaiian beaches // a broken bottle?

I ordered this fragrance on Maxaroma shortly before a two-week trip to Hawaii.

When I arrived in Hawaii, on the very first day, I went for a walk on the beach at 5:50 in the morning to watch the sunrise. I imagined what the ozone would smell like - salty ocean freshness, sweet morning air, creamy salty driftwood and the sweet smell of coconuts. I realized that this was almost exactly the smell I had in my nose at that moment on the beach. Full of anticipation, I took one deep breath after another, sucking in what felt like all the air on the beach. I was dreaming, raving; about the beautiful sunrise, the olfactory overstimulation, about the ozone of my dreams. A short time later, I found a coconut, which I painstakingly opened on a stone in the remaining red of the sunrise and then tasted - this gave me the coconut smell that I had previously been missing from my olfactory analysis of the beach. The perfect ozone had been created.

When I returned from Hawaii two weeks later, I enthusiastically picked up the package from a neighbor and opened it in my bedroom. I immediately sprayed on the fragrance.

...it was different to how I imagined it on the beach. At first, the driftwood and fresh sea breeze stayed away. Instead, a strong citrus note was in the foreground at the beginning. This was followed by a sweet, slightly synthetic coconut. In the DD, the fragrance went in a (still) coconutty, mocha-esque and slightly mineral-woody direction with a small dose of ambergris.

Even though the fragrance didn't live up to my dream of the beaches of Hawaii, it has become one of the absolute favorites in my collection. It's a true work of art that can still be worn every day and goes down extremely well with people; the very first day I wore it, my doctor commented on how great I smelled today...only my mother can't stand the scent (like so much of the perfume I wear) so dear Mr. Ozone stays in the closet when I visit her.

The only thing I don't really like about the fragrance is the bottle; it occasionally leaks a little. However, this is the only one of the three ATH bottles I own that has this problem. Therefore, I don't think that the problem will occur with many - I usually rate the other bottles of the brand with an 8.

The fragrance lasts extremely long on the skin for a summery scent, like everything from dear Aaron, and radiates a good meter in the air. It's not a room filler, but that's a good thing in my opinion; you don't have to be able to use everything to fumigate a wasps' nest.

If you find a way to buy Ozone, or any other ATH fragrance, keep in mind that Aaron also makes the scents in 10ml bottles. I would definitely recommend buying one of these bottles, especially for Aaron's slightly more spaced out, fetishistic fragrances such as Luna (2023).

I hope my review has convinced one or two people to take a closer look at Aaron Terence Hughes and support his company. Have a nice evening.
