Agreed. Just used up my first 50ml of Prada LR Black this past Winter and have another fresh 50ml to break into next cold season… Always thought it could Use some extra performance and a slightly more intense scent profile…. I love the original and it’s dark lavender musky quality… But it definitely could have used a flanker…

my opinion it was too soon to do an ocean edp flanker without even making a luna carbon edp or prada black edp first…. prada was jumping ahead trying to sell ocean as their best smelling fragrance
@smackd1870 Жыл бұрын
Facts, they made a flanker of their worst Prada Luna Rossa lmao, it's not a bad scent but it doesn't compare to Prada black, carbon, or even sport.

I really like this and will have no problem wearing this on all but the hottest summer days. Like most of the Luna Rosa line, it smells so much better floating in the air than up close. Performance is really good.
@markbutler3946 Жыл бұрын
I would say it you like wearing spicy sweet fragrances in the summer then this would be more approachable as opposed to something like Layton. It has a clean smoothness to it that I like after the grapefruit dies off, which happens very quickly. I picture standing in the middle of food trailers at seaside and getting whiffs of funnel cake and ocean night air.

Yesterday I was wearing Guerlain L'omme Ideal Cologne and ended up at a Macy's. They had this out on display for testing and I put it on my hand and walked around for a bit. I know it's probably unfair to compare the two, but the Prada was completely underwhelming by comparison. I like the Prada Luna Rossa line, but thought the original Ocean was on the bottom for me personally, and I'd put the EDP right there with it. It just wasn't that exciting.

Appreciate the review Chris! Interesting about that piece of Code. Luckily there's a ton of wood and vanilla ice creams in the ocean so the name fits. Maybe they couldn't name it Reborn since Davidoff used it for their Cool Water flanker the year before? Anyway all these nautical puns are giving me a sinking feeling and stern demeanor. Perhaps I'll just wait for a sail? ⛵ Boom.

It might just be me, but I feel like this is two parts ocean edt, two parts Layton and one part code all mixed together. There was something I cannot put my finger on in the EDT that smelled good, but was just way, way too much. That smell is toned way back in this and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite smells and it’s great for days at work that I don’t want to wear Layton.

Ralph’s Club Parfum smells almost too close to Armani Code, which Luna Rossa Ocean smells very similar to as well. There’s a lot of copying going on in the designer world, and these three are an example.

Agree there's a lot of copying going on, but respectfully disagree that Armani Code smells like the new Prada Ocean. I have the Armani Code Parfum (2022) and it's masculine, fresh, powdery (iris) and long lasting. I've tested Ocean EDP twice, and it after the first 15 mins it becomes a smooth vanillic yet clean smell IMO.

Can´t understand why men are running around smelling like a woman....I have seen thousands of reviews and street tests and most girls do not like all those hyped sweet vanilla bombs on men. Dior homme intense, Tom Ford JPG and more... Girls say it´s too feminine and want to wear it themselves and they like fresh clean spicy woody scents on a man. When i got Prada Black my female friend said it was too sweet for her taste so i guess i will never fall for the hype again and trust my instincts when i blind buy stuff.
