He Makes a Statement in the Northern Sea
Maybe someone has already noticed: "The 'Minigolf' is currently having a blue period when it comes to fragrances!" And yes, that's true! It all started with a mini of the vintage version of "Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) | Davidoff." And so the "wanting to sniff blue scents" began. This perfume category certainly has a lot of beautiful aspects, and there are now many variations. From salty to "brackish water," to "Blue Lagoon," or "resinous-aquatic," to "ice-cold refreshing." All very interesting and worth testing. And sometimes, swap offers in the souk and forum are tempting.
This swap was absolutely "blind," uncommented, without a statement, just reading the above details. And yet, I am taken with this new "Oriflame." It practically demands the attention of my olfactory organ and stimulates the imagination.
It is not just another aquatic in the vast sea of "water scents." It is a poem about the midnight sun in the far north, about the cool winds in the fjords, about a wide landscape with northern forests, lichens, and moss on ancient trees. A tribute to Swedish beaches, to the cold, clear water of the sea, and a "Merian magazine" about the nature of the far north. I see the long shadows cast by the "night beachgoers" around the time of the summer solstice. And the surfers trying their luck on the high waves. Without fear of falling into the rather cold water. And if it happens, then with a cheerful laugh, to get back up and continue surfing.
The fresh breeze of the ever-present light winds in my hair and on my face.
I gladly sniff this spicy, moist, woody, mossy, green-blue scent to enjoy it.
And it is true: "Oriflame" captures the essence of a landscape or a piece of nature as if with a high-quality olfactory mechanical camera!

Super Freshie
What an awesome scent!

I snagged the 75ml at Notino for €20, and what you get for that is exactly what the name says:

Nordic water, that's exactly how I imagine Scandinavia / Nordic water.
Super refreshing, clean in the drydown with a pleasant depth.

Longevity is okay, sillage isn't a showstopper, but what do you expect from a freshie, especially at this price.

If you have the opportunity, you should definitely test this scent; it flies very under the radar!

Price and performance do not have to be mutually exclusive...
...this fragrance truly proves that impressively. And it does so without the drawbacks of many budget manufacturers and dupe houses.

What do you get here?
The bottle is beautifully designed. Simple, minimalist...nordic indeed. You can easily imagine it on the equally simple shelf of a certain Swedish furniture store. It reflects the scent well on the outside, and the craftsmanship fits here. Nothing to complain about.

Much more important, though, what’s in this bottle:
A fresh aquatic scent that comes across as very balanced for me. Not too shower-gel blue, but also not too herb-salty maritime. The citrusy top note is tasteful and not sharp or screaming. The base is sweet, but not intrusive. It definitely doesn’t pull you out of the fjord atmosphere (with freshly washed laundry ;) ).

I am quite sensitive to piercing notes in aquatics, but this one works wonderfully for me. I would describe it overall as rounded, calm, clean, and serious. Longevity is good for me. Projection is rather close to the body, but that doesn’t bother me at all in this case. On the contrary, it makes it even more wearable in a work or travel context at high temperatures.

We should briefly talk about the price. Right now, you can get the 75ml for under €20!! For this overall package, that’s simply a steal. A great example that quality has nothing to do with price, but also that not all budget fragrances have to be screaming versions of expensive scents.

Aquatic, citrusy, fresh. A top-notch freshy
First of all, I'm not a big fan of aquatic fragrances.
The Nordic Waters for Him does everything right that I criticize in other aquatics. It's not just fresh and "chemical," but it has a pleasant citrus sweetness on board that really appeals to me. I definitely smell more mandarin than lemon and a very subtle bitterness that is probably carried by violet leaf and moss.
In the drydown, there is a fine woodiness that integrates beautifully into the aquatic notes.
I am really excited about this scent. I find it better than 360° Red for Men and even more appealing than "Missoni Wave | Missoni."
It could become a very pleasant daily fragrance for the summer.
I'm totally thrilled. I got it for just under €25. You can't go wrong with that. I really think it's great, and for me, it even surpasses "Allure Homme Sport (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel."

A little insider tip. If you layer it with "The Scent for Him (Eau de Toilette) | Hugo Boss," which is overall a bit lackluster, it creates a wonderful combination.

In Scotland at...
... Chanonry Point with a direct view of Castle Stuart. A cool breeze from the North Sea carries the salt of the ocean. Next to me are friends who are currently distributing mandarins, and the scent of the fruits mingles with the wind. Moss spreads over the stones by the water, and a tree stands lonely and abandoned. With the gentle lapping of the waves, it feels very relaxing.

Upon applying this fragrance, the first notes are citrus fruits with a spiciness that hits the nose. They give the impression that the peeled fruits have been placed on ice to cool and refresh on hot days. Here, a delicate floral note blends in, overwhelmed by a spray of sea breeze with salt, seaweed, and freshness. To give this perfume a strong masculine accent, mossy green and woody accords join in. The musk adds a dry and clean touch to this scent.

The longevity and sillage are good.

The house Oriflame from Sweden has launched a very interesting fragrance here. It is suitable for ages 16 and up and is easily wearable. One or two ladies will surely also enjoy this perfume. It is a scent for warm and hot days, but I can also imagine that it can be worn well in cooler weather. It makes a good cool Scandinavian impression during the day at school, university, in the office, at a meeting, or while shopping. Just as much as in the evening at a bar, club, or beach party.

If you enjoy a citrusy fruity spicy icy dry clean sea scent, this one is just right for you, and all for a small price.

Opens up really fresh with a slight orange note. Smeels like cool water but more natural, compliment magnet. Blind buy worthy. Great scent!

Midnight sun in the north, bright nights in the fjords. Cool waters, green land, long shadows on the beach. Fresh winds - scents - niche!!

Incredible aquatic freshie, perfect for those really hot days. Longevity is surprisingly good.

Name says it all! Nordic, aquatic, salty, mineral, fresh. Almost niche with "40 Knots | XerJoff" vibes for €20. Amazing value!

Fresh citrus paired with the North Sea.
Unfortunately, it's too salty and sharp for me, bringing back memories of a fish market, which I don't want to smell like.

Citrus fruits with a hint of spice on ice. A touch of floral mixed with mossy and woody notes. The sea splashes with salt.

An affordable top freshie! I love wearing this scent at university, at work, and everywhere you don’t want to stand out too much.
