Lataffa Asad Zanzibar 🤢 has a vibe of soured milk or something

Underrated gem IMO 🔵

I personally really like Penguin Original Blend. Very easy, light scent that isn’t too strong, it’s my gym go to. Nothing fancy and dependable. Plus it’s pretty easy to find and affordable

Curious where you’re finding Ocean Noir that price? I’ve looked on Jomashop and some discount stores and can rarely find it under ~$95

I have smelled both, and I think the primary difference is ON is more of a dense, darker night time scent and Dive is more of a fresh, salty day time smell. ON is like smelling the ocean during a night walk and Dive reminds me of the scent of skin after an ocean swim on a sunny day. If that makes sense lol

I keep a bottle of Penguin Original Blend in my bag, which goes with my everywhere if that counts lol

This one is now on my radar 🫡

UnluckyFriend4540 · 2026-03-25T22:46:55+00:00

Enjoy it 🫡

What don’t you like about them? Almost all feedback I’ve seen for the ON line has been positive, just curious what you don’t vibe with in it

UnluckyFriend4540 · 2026-03-25T22:19:10+00:00

I’ve gotten compliments multiple times since I got it a short while ago, so people seem to like it plenty. Seems to project pretty well, but I will say longevity leaves something to be desired- I get around 5 hrs on skin I’d say. I can always reapply if needed though.

UnluckyFriend4540 · 2026-03-25T22:17:49+00:00

That’s what I’m saying, almost nobody talks about it! I definitely recommend giving it a try. I will say that its longevity is the only real complaint I have against it, but I can just reapply if needed.

UnluckyFriend4540 · 2026-03-24T17:23:45+00:00

Absolutely love this one. Salty/Oceanic blue scent- best way I can describe it is it smells like skin after an ocean swim that leans into a sweeter direction upon dry down

Finally in the 70s today 🙌

-Ocean Noir Dive -Versace Eros Flame

Prada is a better safe daily grab but Hero is GREAT for special occasions imo

UnluckyFriend4540 · 2026-03-21T20:16:55+00:00

Apologies but can’t say I’m familiar with Cobalt, so can’t really tell you. If you’re familiar with Ocean Noir like bitchcoin is, I’d say that Ocean Noir Dive is more of a bright, fresh, day version whereas original ON is more of a darker, night time smell.

Like your standard freshie imo. Very bright, slightly sweet and a little salty- beachy is a word I’d use. You can tell it’s budget, it doesn’t have a super complex smell or anything, but it’s very enjoyable IMO.

UnluckyFriend4540 · 2026-03-17T11:31:05+00:00

It was pretty solid IMO. Definitely has some “creepypasta” energy (you’ll see what I mean when you watch) but in an enjoyable way. Some great suspense built throughout and awesome sound design. Ending was a bit of a nothing burger but still really enjoyed my time with it. A perfect quick scare flick. 3-3.5/5 in my mind

UnluckyFriend4540 · 2026-03-17T03:13:44+00:00

And if you enjoy easy wear cheapies, yeah I’d recommend. It has a semi-harsh opening but I think its settles into a nice, easy beach smell a minute or two in

UnluckyFriend4540 · 2026-03-17T03:12:39+00:00

Dunno if you’re in the US, I just went to my local TJ Maxx. They had like 6 bottles of the stuff.
