Ocean Leather

I see the resemblance to Acqua di Giò Profumo by Giorgio Armani, I also see the difference in quality. The Ocean Leather is 3 times more expensive than Acqua di Giò Profumo in retail and 2 times more expensive comparing discounter pricing... I say, it is worth the price but if you like designer fragrances and not that into niche this will look to you like a waste of money (many commented that below). I am glad to have it as I find it a bit more complex and just better quality overall. Love the presentation, performance is average for this type of scent, maybe slightly above average but not a beast by any stretch of imagination.

6/10. Sometimes this was amazing- a leather that was wearable and unique (actually the only leather that I felt was feminine enough to wear). The ocean added a freshness that worked. Sometimes it smelled like hairspray.

Nice, bright and fresh, but really, it is nothing special. The price is however. 7/10

Spring, Summer Scent: 7/10 It's very light, fresh, clean and wont offend anyone. Aromatic. Starts off with some citrus notes, probably from the mandarin. The opening is actually lovely and it sits pretty close to the skin. Hint of cedar in the dry down. Biggest issue for me is performance. Sillage 3/10 Longevity 3/10

I was gifted this masterpiece over the holidays and I shamefully accepted this quite underwhelmingly. My lady bought this for me on a final sale from a boutique. Previous to this, I had tried this at a Neimans and while I thought it was nice, it didnt seem unique enough to consider paying for myself, especially since my first impressions reminded me much of ADG Profumo which I already had and was happy with at half the cost. After having the opportunity of wearing this for some time now though, I can safely put away any fears I have for a potential future discontinuation of Profumo. While I love the marine burst I get from the open in Profumo, the Incense/Smokiness was always a bit peculiar to me and the dry down was never as impressive to me. Ocean Leather takes the qualities I love that remind me of Profumo and replaces the parts that I didnt care about (Incense) with a medley of other notes that imo make this more well rounded, smoother, deeper and much more satisfying. Scent wise, Ocean Leather is much more preferable from opening through dry down. Performance is the area where I wish Memo was a little better, especially given the pricetag. Projection is average at best. While this scent sits closer to the skin, the longevity on skin is respectable. Spraying more, and on fabric boosts the aura. I feel no shame bathing in this juice - it is the furthest thing from cloying, artificial or offensive in any way. Wore this to a holiday party shortly after receiving it..I bathed in it and got a number of questions/compliments.
