Advantages: Gorgeous smell, lasts ages, on the cheaper side for luxury perfumes

Disadvantages: Is more pricey than many other eau de toilettes, especially in shops

I'll tell you from the offset- Ocean Lounge is the best perfume I have had the pleasure of smelling. I'm not normally one for expensive perfumes, for me they were just something to ocupy my time in duty-free at the airport, definetly not worth wasting pounds after pounds on if a cheaper eau de toilette or deodorant can do the same job. However after coming across Ocean Lounge I knew I had to buy it whatever the cost.

Firstly the scent is *heavenly*. It embodies everything that is summer, it's flowery, fruity and a really gorgeous juicy frangrance all round. Some scents get a bit bland after you've used them for a while, but Ocean Lounge is so moreish everytime long after you'd started using it.

What I like most about Ocean Lounge is how long the fragrance lasts. All the other cheap mini perfumes I'd bought you'd be lucky if they last a few hours, Ocean Lounge you're looking at a minimum of 12 hours. Depending on if you shower, what you get upto, how much you sweat etc, I've even found it lasted a full day- and that was just from a few test sprays in a shop.

I've also heard people talk before of top notes, key notes and end notes of a fragrance but only been able to distinguish if the perfume was still there or not not these singular specific smells. With Ocean Lounge you can really smell the difference in these different notes though- it starts off almost overwhelmingly fruity, then fades to the same fruity-ness with a softer edge of flowers, and fades to a soft flowery fragrance, a bit like jasmine.

Ocean Lounge is also different to many top quality perfumes in that it is available quite cheaply if you look in the right places. I have seen it on offer in quite a few shops recently at about £25 for a 50ml bottle- however if you look on Amazon at the min you can get a 100ml bottle for £20. Absolute bargain, even a huge saving on the prices in duty free today. I know what I'll be spending my hard earning dooyoo vouchers next on, and so will you after you take a sniff of this wonderful fragrance.

Summary: Shop around and you'll get a gorgeous scent for a great price
