G&B Pacific Rock Moss vs Bois 1920 Oltremare - fragrance first impressions
In this video, I compare two captivating aquatic fragrances: Pacific Rock Moss by Goldfield & Banks and Bois 1920 Oltremare. Pacific Rock Moss transports you to the sun-drenched Australian coastline with its refreshing blend of coastal moss, lemon, and sage, perfect for a breezy, beachside vibe. On the other hand, Oltremare by Bois 1920 offers a deeper, more complex aquatic experience with its notes of citrus, salt, and woody undertones, evoking a sophisticated seaside escape. I'll delve into their scent profiles, longevity, and sillage, helping you decide which of these alluring fragrances best fits your style and occasion.

    Hi, I like your reviews. I have Seminalis, Brutus and Terroni, Seminalis was the first one I bought from O.P. and I love it. I have just a couple of clarifications, the O.P. perfumes are "parfum", not extraits like Nasomatto. furthermore Seminalis is one of the most powerful perfumes of the brand, projection duration and sillage are nuclear, you have to be careful with sprays! it is absolutely not a skin scent or an intimate perfume!

I don't find anything really Aquatic, or Marine in this fragrance and don't even think it's that mass appealing I don't see guys 25 or under wanting to wear this.

    Excellent review. Big fan of sampling fragrances completely blind too, without knowing what it is or how its packaged. I'm a bit up in the air about the brand myself. If they put the same fragrances in stock bottles and generic cardboard boxes, I'd be willing to consider them at an 80% discount. 😄 Mind, I have a few cheapies from middle eastern brands - that could also technically be considered niche - that blow designer presentations out of the water too. Names and clout mean very little to me, hence the blind sampling. Always love getting your take Dan. Your channel has quickly become one of my current favourites. 💙

      @@justaddlight thanks for the continued appreciation ❤️ Yes, name only does not make a fragrance or brand. I don’t like middle eastern clones because they mostly don’t even try to build an identity. Identity and intentions are very important to me, they get my respect no matter if I like the perfume or not.

    2 minutes in and I have to say I absolutely agree with you, Daniel, especially when so many people, including perfume shop consultants presented this to me as a marine scent. To me, it's a Yacht Club scent if I take into account the fact most yacht owners would be rather old and that's when baby powder comes in place, when it's used prevent them lads from... irritations.

    There's something about 40 knots that I find utterly repulsive. It's this musky, milky, metallic smell. I just hated everything about it. Also it's too strong.

It definitely last long. I heard recently that there oud in all the Orto Parisi fragrances. Maybe that’s the funk. I see what you mean by the baby or puppy smell. Seminalis also means seed so maybe the baby smell is the intention. Just ordered Megamare a few hours ago. That is beastly. I like that deep marine smell and it reminds me of when coral first spawns and drifts into shore. Not a week later when there is a rotten stench. Pardon Nasomatto is also on order.

Also, the funkiness in Seminalis in my opinion comes from a latex note that comes across as a sweaty-musky type of smell, it really puts me off and reminds me of unused condoms.

    Knowing too much about that fragrance before smelling it the first time kind of biased my perception at first. I think my brain latched onto the musky and ''sweaty'' notes in this. After coming back to it later I mostly get a gourmand-ish white chocolate slightly lactonic pleasant scent with a ''human'' component to it that gives it weight and substance. Similarly my first exposure to Sadonaso was immediately unpleasant because my expectations were already created in my mind, I should give it another try one day. On the other hand I smellt Boccanera before knowing in what direction the marketing would try to take me, and that probably helped me have a very good first impression of it so there's that.
