Ventana Marine Armaf 2024

It reminds me of Bleu de chanel edp but less spicy and more sweet with cheaper ingredients.

The performance is pretty good, around 8hrs if you overspray with moderate projection 2 hrs with less than arms length. it is a safe fragrance and i like to wear it in office and gym, and l got compliments.

This isn't new, and somehow 0 reviews.

When I got it, the first 4 weeks it was such a synthetic mess, and all sharp edges, that I already placed it in the donation box. About 3 weeks later, I thought I'll give it another try. It changed IMMENSELY! Much smoother and well rounded. The quality is still not something to rave about. Like a $50 designer fragrance. But it's very versatile and wearable. For it's price (I got it for $18), it's a solid buy.

This is NOT an imagination clone. Maybe a 40% "inspired by" (which I can say about 25 other fragrances, so it's meaningless). It's also not a BDC clone. I would call it a 60%-40% BDC+Imagination, so it's pretty much an original creation. A floral blue freshy.

If you decide to buy it, don't forget to let it sit for a WHILE after you spray it. At least 6 weeks IMO.

Projection is average-good for 2 hours, and longevity is about 7 hours. Very good considering the price and profile.

Orange and bergamot come through immediately and prominently. Really nice and fresh, very pleasant.
In the drydown, it becomes noticeably calmer. A bit floral and very lightly green-spicy.
Unfortunately, the longevity is quite limited. After about 4 hours, it's gone from the skin, but on fabric, it lasts significantly longer.
Overall, a solid fragrance for warmer days in everyday life.

What they were thinking with this plastic monstrosity of a bottle is beyond my understanding. One of the ugliest packages on the market... of course, it's a matter of taste.
