Ocean View For Men

Well, with so many recent releases ending on the discount shelves within a few months of their presumably short life circle, it is getting evident that the items of the renewed Karl Lagerfeld fragrance line are mediocre on purpose. Each of them is nice smelling but nothing as innovative as Classic, Photo, Jako or even Kapsule used to be. This one has a yummy summery vibe which will appeal to most noses but will also get lost within the mainstream market very soon. Even the whole appearance is mass market like. I dont think Karl even sniffed any of these scents (apart from the For Him / Her releases). If would need to compare, Varvatos Artisan Blu comes to mind, as its similar yet somehow better constructed. We just need to get used to a repositioned Karl Lagerfeld branding which is miles away from what we "old folks" were used to back in the 80' & 90's. C'est la vie.

Quite nice, a safe summer scent. Doesn't stand out nor does it have a WOW-factor, but it's mellow, blue/green. Perfect for daywear, office-safe, and could work as a sportscent. Could be a unisex scent also. I like to compare fragrances to others to show the type, but nothing comes to mind (which is actually a good thing). The colour and shape of the bottle are nice, although appearance is a little tacky. Projection is okay, sillage is better then expected. Could be found at bargain prices already: if you find one for little, buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Surprisingly good cheapie (thank the perfumer) with a less than sweet berry accord working superbly in the heat. Synthetic but well blended, fruity-fresh done right.

Nice safe summer scent that most people will hate anyway, at least if you expected anything more than an average fragrance from Mr lagerfeld.
