What does Ocean Bourbon smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings, so they are best read as early impressions. It carries no gender lean and suits men and women alike.

The scent is led by boozy, barrel-aged notes: cognac, whisky and oak barrel, softened by tonka bean, vanilla and praliné into a gourmand sweetness. Sea breeze and salt add an aquatic freshness to that richness, while amber, sandalwood and labdanum give it a woody, oriental depth.
