The most sensitive sandstorm, the darkest surf
"Ocean of a Midnight Moon" is such a special, dark and multi-layered oceanic that you could almost think at first sniff that this is not an aquatic at all. At first, my nose even thought it was in the desert sand and suggested sandalwood or even incense as an anchor. But this thing is much more complex than you could pin down to a few key points. You have to use your head and nose. The lovely saleswoman told me that, according to the perfumer, over 60 different ingredients are balanced to form a unity and a journey - and I can't and don't want to contradict her...
"Ocean of a Midnight Swim" has similarities to designer hits with the sound of the sea and coastal spray. But it is still so much more, so much deeper, so much more characterful. High quality without end. A refreshment in the glow of the moon, a stalactite cave full of luminescence. You first have to achieve such a texture as "Aquate". And the many different nuances really blend together, they don't bite each other and don't stand out. Quite the opposite. It's muscular, it's powerful without being a beast. A gooseberry roche. An apocalyptic wave that washes over deserts and mountains. Above all, once again a real oak moss extremity. The drydown has steam and pressure, is timeless and old-school, earthy and massively green. Not necessarily natural, more on the synthetic side. But that doesn't rule out greatness. Calcified, never old. A splash of Orient, my first impression certainly doesn't cloud my judgment. But really just a few spices. High facade, lots behind it. Berry and seafood. Maritime and intimate. Salty and slightly malty. Bitter mint, fresh breeze, no crisis, makes you Poseidon's Prinze'.
Flacon: black and serious
Sillage: potent af
Longevity: 8 hours upwards, up to a bombastic 12 hours
Conclusion: no chaos, no cacophony, no cesspool. "Ocean of a Midnight Moon" lives up to its poetic name and enchants with a deep black sea(le) with a green shimmer, quietly resting and deeply touching!
