Ocean Pacific for Men Ocean Pacific for men

I will start by saying that this cologne is not bad at all. This is quite a strong cologne, so care should be taken not to over-apply. If you spray more than two or three sprays, you are probably going too far. It's a cologne, not a deodorant.

For those who are not keen on the use of patchouli in colognes, you may not be into this cologne, for it is a key element of the scent.

But overall, the cologne makes for a decent purchase to try out. The visual design of the bottle is also a plus, and even after the bottle is used up it could easily double as a paperweight or a trophy/generally nice decoration to have, thus having many practical uses.

This is not bad at all. The bottle is really quite creative - the thick blue fluid trapped between the inner and outer walls, give it an effect a bit like a lava lamp. The bottle really does not give a hint of what to expect when you actually smell the fragrance itself.

It starts of with the camphorousness of lavender and the sweetness of fruit. This is overlayed onto cedar and cypress. The woods have an almost peppery aspect to them.

As it dries down the floral heart is revealed. To me it is reminiscent of Oxygene by Lanvin crossed with Arpege pour Homme. The patchouli is quite gentle and as such it is quite a smooth offering.

On me the longevity is not great, however, it has been 38 degrees C with about 50% humidity the last few days: it would be interesting to try it in winter. I picked up 2.5 oz (75 mL) for about $14 Aus, which makes it a great buy.

Love this - found it in the women's section of Marshalls-where I see many men's colognes. It is deep and heavy and impressive. Not bad for an inexpensive scent. Like previous comment -I agree- the bottle is really cool

This is a rare find, but one that is appreciated. I own OP Juice by Ocean Pacific and was a little disappointed by it's "Juiciness." This however, is a very clean, inviting scent... and the bottle....... let me tell you, the picture does it no justice whatsoever. Very interesting design. Something you definitely want displayed on your dresser top. To keep it in the box is pointless, and an insult to the designer. If you locate this, try it and if you find it to be a disappointment, there will be someone who won't find it hard to like.
