Reminds me of Beyond Paradise from Estee Lauder! I just did a side to side comparison and there are some differences: HOS003 is less herbal, more wearable and more uplifting. Just a bit better. But these two scents do share a lot of similarities.
However, HOS003 is an ok scent, nothing special.
6/10
EDIT:
A 6 is too low. This is actually a pretty good scent.

Starting to like it more and more. It is not too unique, but really well done and just nice. i really don’t agree with wafaison who calls this fragrance synthetic. I find it pretty natural and realistic, actually.

I wanted to love it, especially given the only other review. It does have a delicious opening, salty, ambergris, but very different from the piercing Creed ambergris. This one is more… full and creamy, for lack of a better way to describe. And not in a good way, to me, but I happen to love the MI, Erolfa, SMW ambergris.
It does indeed smell “like” driftwood, but only in the same way that a lemon skittle tastes like a lemon. It’s not at all realistic, which admittedly is probably what they were going for. To me it is heady, cloying, synthetic.
Lasts forever. Like Sandlot foreVER. Smells like the base of TF Oud Minerale to me… and I really hate Ouds.
Fragrance rating: 8/10
Personal wearable rating: 1/10

Starts off salty, with some green notes kicking in. It then gets a sort of beached driftwood smell, as in wood that was once wet. It is very pleasant, and lasts forever. Top notch.
