Ocean Rush

7.4

Rayhaan · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Rayhaan Ocean Rush is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance with an aquatic, fougère character and a light fruity sweetness. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a first impression. It is a men's fragrance, and its cool, clean feel suits everyday wear. It opens with bergamot and green mandarin orange for citrus freshness, while Aquozone and Cascalone® give it a watery edge. Lavender, rosemary, cypress and mastic form the fougère heart, and amber, patchouli and musk soften the base and add some sweetness. There is a slightly synthetic sheen to it. Star Wars Rogue One Man and Armaf El Cielo have a close profile.

Bass

6.8

Ephemera by Unsound · 2014

Synthetic · Spicy · Woody

Ephemera by Unsound Bass is a smoky, leathery and resinous unisex scent with a hard, woody and animalic character. Wood smoke and rum come first. Mastic, leather and tea sit in the middle, and frankincense, moss, cedarwood and castoreum dry down at the base. The synthetic, spicy and animalic accords weigh heavily, so it reads dry and dark rather than soft or sweet. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin while still making itself known to people nearby. It suits anyone who likes leather and smoke, regardless of gender. Rammstein Benzin and Tom Ford Black Lacquer have a close profile.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. Voters rate its value for money highly. The fresh character makes it a natural fit for everyday wear. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profondo and Sergio Tacchini Pacific Blue have a close profile.

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable through the day without filling a room. It is classed as masculine.

Fresh, spicy and woody accords dominate, with sweet and powdery sides in the background. Bugatti Fashion Performance Red and Real Time Kindlooks Man have a close profile.

MYTAO - Mein Bioparfum zwei

5.8

Taoasis

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Taoasis MYTAO - Mein Bioparfum zwei is a unisex scent that pairs the brightness of grapefruit and lemon myrtle with the resinous softness of mastic and tonka bean. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and rarely fills a room. That suits a light refresh during the day or quiet company rather than a crowd. It reads comfortably on both men and women. The notes come across as one whole rather than in stages. Citrus and green accords bring a fresh, fruity feel, mastic adds a resinous, woody depth, and tonka bean adds a gentle softness. A spicy, earthy touch keeps it from turning sweet.
