Ocean Royale James Bond 007 2013 Eau de Toilette

What does One Million have to do with James Bond? Nothing at all, it fits zero. What does One Million have to do with the sea? No connection. Why does the blue 007 perfume smell like the successful gold bar? Nobody knows.

I have no idea what the creators of the Bond perfumes are thinking, but with the new blue offshoot, they have easily surpassed the already poor, immature original. The first hour is a 100% One Million imitation, and in the end, it briefly becomes cinnamon sweet, which reminds me of the dark original. Both give me goosebumps and make me shake my head. But the original sold like crazy during the Skyfall time, so they had to somehow process the profit. Horrible! Only the coffee note mixed with a bit of the cheapest iris saves it a little towards the end. But only because those are 2 components that would still convince me even in kindergarten quality!

Sillage was quite strong, but the scent lasted just 5 hours. It could have stopped even earlier. The bottle is cheap, but I like it in blue better than in black.

At least as much to be avoided as the first Bond scent! The English gentleman does not deserve that, and the fragrances are even worse than Die Another Day!
