Ocean Rain for Men Mario Valentino 1990 Cologne

As I sit here and scroll through some of these reviews I'm very much amazed and impressed at how these reviews are written. There is absolutely NO WAY on God's green Earth I'd be able to intelligently take apart a fragrance and break it down like I've just witnessed. For one thing my sense of smell just isn't that advanced as such that I'd be able to put together that kind of review, especially the 5 paragraph long reviews. Maybe one fine day it'll come up on me. For now though all I CAN say is that this is a fine tuned underrated scent from the final decade of quality masculine perfumerie, because after the year 2000 it has been a fast track race to the bottom barrels of scented water. Fox fragrances confirms this is a Vintage formulation that I ALWAYS COVET. However the performance could be better but that could be due to the age of the fragrance. It smells wonderful though and the discontinuation forces me to continue to scroll for backup stock. Kudos to Mr Roundnitzka for putting this together at the age of 85 and bowing out gracefully after. I keep hearing Ocean Rain being connected to Diorella so I I'll be the future judge of that and I wouldn't DARE buy the reformed juice. NO WAY EVER MY FRIEND! But this is a great creation despite the odd name of it.
