What do reviewers say about Ocean Rain and Monogram?
In 1990, aquatics were a playground for synthetics. Roudnitska disagreed. His last fragrance anchors the ocean in leather and oakmoss instead. What arrives is not the typical aquatic story.Ocean Rain
Short-lived, discontinued in '87, and still outperforming plenty of fragrances that got the marketing budget. Monogram is for people who don't need the shelf placement to know they found something.Monogram
