This is one awesome perfume for men…
It is so remarkably complex. I mean there are legitimately 55 notes so the complexity is mind boggling. I really cannot even describe Nabeel’s Ocean, even after many wearings. It is very dark and noir. I would say a violent ocean tempest with torrential downpours, loud thunder claps with endless lightning. This is not a wallflower marine. It is a very bold perfume that could be overdone if applied lavishly, but so easily wearable and pleasurable with a sensible approach.
But what I can say is that Ocean opens with what smells exactly like Pierre Cardin’s Bleu Marine from 1986 only to drastically transition into a heart and base that’s dominated by a most luxurious, deep, complex and very woody oud chord coupled with drift wood, silky musk, lotus flower and salty resinous ambergris. It is a swell combination indeed.
The dry down on this stuff is intoxicating, and that hypnotic/narcotic oudy dry down lasts forever. It is a highly pleasurable oud heaven. The perfume has a denatured alcohol content of 70% so the perfume is quite beastly. I believe that it is a plus that the atomizer was intentionally designed to squirt out small controlled puffs. Also, the wearer will become nose blind to Ocean almost instantly. I only wear 2 sprays of this and can never smell it on myself after 1 hour, however, I receive positive compliments on this otherworldly stuff all day and night. People seem to seriously enjoy this highly pleasurable aroma which is because of a really stellar oud. It is a compliment magnet and I am not one to wear a perfume for compliments ever.
As mentioned previously, Ocean is an oud dominant perfume and what an amazing oud it is. The dry down on this is a dopamine rush to say the least. This is so good that I have purchased many backups. I don’t ever want to be without Nabeel’s Ocean. This perfume is signature scent worthy. I feel like this was tailored made for my olfactories.
