Ocean Royale James Bond 007 2013 Eau de Toilette
6
The Beginning of the Journey
Here it is... Ocean Royale. This is where it all started back then. It was the first one in my collection.
As a big James Bond fan, I wished for it for Christmas when I was 13. My wish came true. My first perfume. My Holy Grail at the age of 13. This is where growing up began for me.
Now, nearly 9 years later, I have it as a memory in my collection. However, I rarely want to use it, and there are reasons for that.
Scent:
The first thing you smell is the synthetic note, reminiscent of nail polish remover. Shortly after, the artificial bergamot and lime come into play, and I can barely detect the anise in the background.
Once the top note settles, you can faintly sense sweet woods, unfortunately more on the stinky side. That was about it.
Sillage and Longevity:
Terrible. I can smell it at most for 1.5 hours up close.
Bottle:
The bottle is fine, nothing special, but it does its job quite well. I like the twist mechanism for opening and closing the spray head.
Price-Performance:
There are much better options for the price of around €30 for 100 ml.
Unfortunately, I just can't write anything better about my former teenage love "007 Ocean Royale."
