Another Simone Andreoli and another new addition to my collection this year: Ocean of a Midnight Moon from the Poetry of Night series. An absolutely awesome series and an absolutely recommendable brand. Fragrances in this series are absolutely suitable for the night, as the name suggests. Even if this one goes in a fresher direction, it also has dark and mysterious vibes. Rated a mere 7.6 here, this one hovers well below the radar and many inexperienced consumers will be put off by this. In some social media videos, this is also recommended as a top recommendation and compliment-getter, but more on an insider tip basis without having any hype. This DNA has a lot of potential in my eyes, as you get pleasing freshness paired with unique notes. So it's not something you'll smell like every day. In my eyes, it's definitely a very high-quality, fresh fragrance that leaves a good impression.
The RRP of €185 per 100ml is a little overpriced, even if it is a high-quality fragrance. However, you can get it for between €120 and €150, which is fair in my eyes. Especially because this fragrance already has niche quality and can easily keep up with the popular designer fragrances.
Packaging is chic: you get a great black box that's not too big and is decorated with gold lettering and patterns. Not too much frills and this brand stays true to its style. Easier to dispose of than so many other niche brands.
If you want to know where this journey is heading:
Acqua di Giò Profumo Parfum is a great example. Not on a fragrance twin basis, but on a fragrance type basis. These two fragrances serve the aquatic direction with this noble spicy-woody and here slightly greenish touch. You don't necessarily have to be an aquatic fan for these fragrances. You get a noble fragrance that can be used in a variety of ways. Here, it is also somewhat mysterious and simply very fresh for the evening.
Maritime and ozonic notes are particularly prominent in the top note. There is also some citric freshness thanks to various citrusy-tart notes. In addition to the great citric aquatics, there is a great greenish mint, balsam fir and driftwood. A great blend that fits perfectly into this aquatic. This woody aquatic is not for the heat, but offers a great evening vibe. This woody aquatic also works well on not too hot summer days and mild temperatures. Myrtle and artemisia are also present, although the myrtle is not reminiscent of those typical algae scents a la Acqua di Sale. There is also something greenish and mossy, which can also go well with aquatics. Patchouli offers a great dark, mysterious base that sets in a little earlier. All in all, a very harmonious creation of aquatics, some citrus and lots of wood with greenish spice. It already has a lot of depth and for a freshie can be used very well with an elegant outfit.
Performance is top. 10+ hours of longevity and the sillage is perfect for a fresh fragrance with style. Should be tested if you are looking for fresh fragrances with staying power.
Overall, a great fragrance that is sure to catch some compliments. Should be tried if you are looking for a fresh fragrance with depth. Due to the green-spicy-woody notes, it is only semi-fresh, which makes it best worn in the evening. Should not necessarily be bought blind, as this fragrance (as you can see from the ranking here) will not appeal to everyone.
