Underwater agent: 007's new Caribbean-inspired fragrance
Whether he's driving his Lotus Esprit S1 into the water off the coast of Sardinia or emerging out of the ocean in La Perla swimming trunks in the Bahamas, Bond is no stranger to tropical tides. So it comes as no surprise that the spy's latest fragrance takes inspiration from the sun-drenched seas surrounding the Caribbean. The new edition of their long standing line of fragrance hits the stores and it comes with an oceany twist.
The bottle is probably the coolest thing about it. It comes in a steel mesh kind of design with a mesh cap attached around it, I'm guessing this is to represent a gun. You open the top by twisting the sides which slides the mesh cap down to reveal the nozzle. A very cool bottle cap in my opinion. I believe I will buy this in the gold version because like Bond, it seems classy and masculine with a sweet "twist"
The apple is so obvious and the whole thing reminds azzaro silver black. The other perfume that this reminds as time goes by is la nuit de l'homme, with its lavender and sweetness.
The sillage and longevity are above average and the price very reasonable. It is a nice job but nothing ground breaking or classy at the extent of James Bond. The perfume is masculine and has something old fashioned but in the modern masculine way and is not powdery at all. For the lovers of Hugo Boss perfumes, the lovers of la nuit de l'homme and Silver black, worth checking out this one...
With fresh top notes of lime, aniseed and bergamot, Ocean Royale's masculine undercurrent is anchored with a base of teak and cedar woods, tonka bean and Jamaican coffee. Light and versatile, our only criticism is that the bottle doesn't convert into submarine.
Available now exclusively at Harrods. £32 for 75ml.
