Ocean

A previous reviewer wrote his trick on picking up women. Not angry at all, I gave my 17 year old son that same advice when he asked where to meet girls, at the Macy's beauty department. Tons of teenage girls seeking out products they likely won't be able to afford until after college. After that its all trial and error guys, even the best looking men get quite a few NO'S mixed in with those YES'. It's not a meat market after all, expect rejection. That being said, I'm not crazy about this cologne or aqua noted fragrances in general. It is perfect for a 17 year old though. Never spend more than $30 on a cologne for someone under 21, their taste changes as easily as their minds. Remember? Besides, I find perfume giving extremely personal, and it can take years before you find your signature. I did for me. Finding something that suits someone else can prove to be even more difficult. Unless you really know someones tastes, don't splurge on $100+ bottle. If your groove is aquatic scented perfumes this one isn't bad for the price. You can load it on without really offending the people around you. It's clean scented and a bit more cypress is present than you would expect, and vetiver in the dry down stage. For me there is something missing. Can it be SALT? IDK, that's what I'd expect to get from a cologne called Ocean. All and all it's a nice fresh scent for a young teenage body. It is far from having a "manly" smell. Very safe though. Spray away boys.

I know this was made for men to wear, but I love it so much that I bought it for myself in the past after a friend wore it. I think it had a very relaxed and soothing scent. For my nose, the first sprays of this are like a reset, and though I don't have experience with a lot of colognes and such I really adored the crisp ozonic and clear water notes. It's fresh and it makes me feel like I got done showering, in a way. It reminds me of when I was younger and my dad would make me use his body wash since he didn't know what body wash to pick out for me. I'm pretty in touch with both my feminine and tomboy side I'd say, and this is definitely a scent that makes me feel comfortable, and very me!.

good decently prices fragrance with good performance considering the EDC concentration. originally bought graphite and it was pretty good but this is a whole new level. graphite was synthetic, this feels more natural. this smells like being in the woods on a warm summer day, with a beach nearby, right after it rained. and someone sitting next to you is eating a coconut. good masculine fresh frag, lasts a decent amount of time. i am convinced that most people who get bad performance on this are spraying it in the wrong places or have bad skin chemistry.

If you like citrus/bergamot this will definitely be a great option. Fresh, aquatic, slightly floral and a decently woody base. I wouldn't say this is the most sophisticated scent, but out of the B&BW frags this is definitely one of their best. If you're a fan of the fresh, oceanic/marine vibe this will definitely sit well with you. Not the best performer but lasts around 4-6 hours on me. I am a fan of citrus and aquatic based scents, so for the price, this is a win in my book. Overall: 9/10 Value: 9.5/10

I really enjoy this, it’s clean, fresh, breezy.. the mineral & calone blend so nicely. I remember ‘costal air’ being a note but not listed here, & that’s exactly what you get. The vetiver is among the nicest I’ve ever smelled. It’s not pungent, soapy nor earthy.. it’s a wisp of cypress & cool ocean air. I had the early oval style bottle years ago & didn’t like it, these newer batches are much more refined.

I've owned my bottle for about 4 years now. It started out a great, fresh scent but never lasted long. Pulled it out from the back of my fragrance cabinet, ( way back there ) and this stuff has gotten much stronger, lasts about 8 hours now. My coworkers always comment on how fresh and clean I smell.

There are two vibes in this scent: rich vibe and young vibe. Its performance is not going to make you happy but the smell is amazing. You will feel good wearing it. And attract girls, because it is fresh and sweet at the same time. I would buy it if I was under 25.

Very fresh, it gives me Versace Pour Homme vibes and I'm fine with that. Cheap and versatile blue fragrance for the summer time. One down side is that it doesn't last long, right around 2 hours for me.

Bath & Body Works Ocean Cologne Men EDT opens with a moderate projection of fresh, watery, woody, and green notes. The opening is refreshing, airy, breezy, with a touch of greenness, and very pleasant. The ozonic and watery notes are the most noticeable, they create an airy, and waterfalls refreshing touch with a cucumber-like accord that enhances and sharpens these notes; the cypress is a woody, light pine-like, slightly sweet and balsamic note, evocative of forest foliage; finally, the vetiver is a fresh green grassy note, not as noticeable as the cypress but it is there. The fragrance has some small but noticeable opening to dry-down change, the opening is very sharp, intense, the notes are clear and projects, but as time passes, this sharpness dissipates leaving notes that are rounder and smoother, as if they would be affected by a powdery note such as violet, also, the fragrance drops from a moderate projection to low. Once Bath & Body Works Ocean Cologne Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a soft projection, ozonic (cucumber-like), aquatic (waterfalls), woody, and green fragrance. The fragrance feels airy, breezy, casual, clean, common, delicate, diluted, diurnal, faint, fresh, green (vetiver and cucumber-like), light, marine, refreshing, relaxing, short-lived, sporty, ultra-fresh, unisex, weak, white, woody, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2019 (#936K). WOW RATING: 4/10. A nice, very refreshing fragrance, but short-lived. DISLIKE RATING: 0/10. The fragrance does not contain any harsh notes. UNIQUENESS: 3/10. Aquatic ozonic fragrances are relatively common. MASS APPEAL: 8/10. A fresh inoffensive fragrance, most people will enjoy it. PROJECTION: 1/10. Very low, almost none. SILLAGE: 1/10. Very low, a personal space fragrance. APPLICATION: 10 atomizations. LONGEVITY: 2/10. Very low, about 1 hour, without any projection. SEASONS: Spring, summer. OCCASIONS: Outdoor gatherings, gym, office, casual, vacations. This is an office-friendly fragrance. VERSATILITY: 5/10. Moderate, a super fresh, but no projecting, short-live fragrance for casual or sportswear. GENDER: Masculine, the vetiver creates a slight tilt to the masculine side. AGES: Any. RECOMMENDATION: Bath & Body Works Ocean Cologne Men EDT can be purchased for about $30, the opening is fantastic, but that initial sharpness and projection plummet leaving behind a skin scent. Not recommended. BLIND-BUY: Yes, consider its poor performance. SIMILAR: These are examples of fragrances in the same genre.

I had this for a while. Fresh kind of creamy aquatic smell. Yes, it is generic (or pleasingly familiar). This is not a bad thing for me. I use it for out the shower and after the gym spray on. Is this worth having??? Definitely, but I would say do not pay full price. There is always someone on eBay almost giving it away for less than $25 USD. Application: With Bed Bath & Body Works you should be using the entire range of that particular fragrance (wash, lotion, spray, & cologne). Just though I note that. It is supposed to be "an experience". Lol. For most guys, we just use the cologne. Unless, someone bought us the entire set. Bottom line: If you have just the cologne, you have to use this line's men fragrances like a body spray. Spray it everywhere. The performance will not be a beast but much better. Don't be surprised if these kind of fragrances get you more compliments from the ladies than your niche and more expensive bottles. REMEMBER, women live in these kinds of stores for a reason. Stores like this know what women like; they study it. Look in their stores; it full with women all the time. Lol 6.5/10, if purchase under $25.

This was the first cologne I ever owned. I got a B&BW gift card for Christmas when I was 14 and got this with it. It's the most simple fresh aquatic you can imagine. It's affordable and pretty universally likable. I'm past this phase of my life now, but I would recommend to any teenage boys that are tired of smelling like body odor. Or just anyone who wants to smell good on a budget with little effort.

When I was a 12 year old young trans guy I had the urge to stop smelling bad and start taking care of myself. My mom took me to Bath and Body Works and she tested all of the men's fragrances. She settled on this one as being suitable for a young chap. It smells good, but I now associate it with social anxiety and custody battles.

Agree with others, I sprayed this on a hat before a hike, and I kept second guessing myself whenever I got whiffs, thinking it was a (cheaper, more synthetic) Versace Pour Homme. I’d still recommend this as it’s light, fresh, and inexpensive, but prefer Versace’s version as it lasts longer and has a stronger sillage.

It's a pretty basic blue fragrance, very fresh, slightly sweet, and doesn't last a long while, I get around 4 hours on my skin, with about 2 feet projection and basic performance. Overall a pretty decent fragrance, dont get me wrong it smells super good as a freshie, but for 60 CAD I probably wouldn't buy it again.

Safest masc aquatic scent you could buy. I like it, but there's nothing really standout about it. I get a lot of the fresh-spicy notes from it, almost more so than the aquatic notes. Good fresh fragrance I like as an after shower lotion.

Super fresh, very weak thought only lasted a few hours then it would be gone. But you can wear this to the gym since it's not that expensive and you wont offend anyone. Smell-5/10 Performance-3/10 Versatility-5/10 Overall Rating-4.5/10

Smells close to a shampoo I tried once, I think one of the Head&Shoulders. Seriously. & it is actually not a bad smell. Clean & fresh. Poor lasting power though, doesn't justify the price.

I thought this was a watered (no pun intended) down version of Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme. Similar combination of floral and aquatic (sea) notes. Works better as a shower gel in high heat.

Fairly nice. Tried as a sample at the store but I may get my own bottle. Good for an “around the house” freshie. Plus my wife said it was always her favorite when she worked there.

Need to give hot selection extra pumps if you want her to stay with you the whole day. if not, she'll run off on you into the wind.
