Ocean

This scent does give me flashbacks to the times i was depressed by the sea-side, so i think it resembles "ocean" pretty decently- it's colder and heavier than Demeter's Salt Air, and it has the vague metallic quality, it projects the impression of something bloody without actually smelling like blood. This is a very interesting effect, even though it's not something you might want to wear daily. Definitely a scent for darker moods, but i find it quite pleasant. Stays on the skin longer than most Demeter scents, too.

This was my favorite Demeter fragrance and it's been discontinued! I basically made an account just because I'm trying to see if anyone has samples, partial bottles, that I could buy, I want to try it again.

In the bottle: bright & aquatic At first spritz: a momentarily disappointing Generic Fresh Scent After the drydown: Fresh & salty all at the same time. It's almost like not wearing perfume at all, but in the best possible way. Reminiscent of sundried saltwater on my skin, with a lingering hint of brightness. Demeter's Salt Air was a disappointment (mild and murky on me), but this does the trick. I haven't layered with it yet, but I have high hopes. Ocean strikes me as something that could be very versatile — brightening up dull scents as well as mellowing out overly sweet ones.

Well this is a really oceanic stuff.I have tried all Davodoffs cool waters and other aquatics but nothing was too marine and good for me.I finally found the perfect marine and salty scent.I am not so sure about the lasting power though...

I thought this perfume was alright at first, but then once when I was wearing it my friend said that it smelled like rotten bananas. Ever since then all this perfume smells like to me is rotten bananas. I've asked a bunch of people too and the consensus is rotten bananas :(((

I find this rather stinky strong old ladyish floral with no lasting power whatsoever, 10 minutes maybe. There's some sand in the background, but not enough to make it nice beachy type of a scent. This is simply bad:/

it was a present i got for my birthday. i always liked the smell of the sea and wanted a good perfume that reminded me of it. this was not it! i found the reviews quite intresting, it seems people are separated into 2 categories, they love it or they hate it, no in-between. the scent doesn't remind me of the ocean at all, but more so of an old man. it is very harsh and almost alcoholic. it smells weirdly spicey (herb linke spice) and in my opinion quite offensive. it doesn't smell sweet at all, definitely smells more masculine. i wore it for a few hours thinking it would get better, i was constantly distracted by how bad it smelled and i had to hurrry up home to take a shower that's how bad it was. even spraying it in the air, it doesn't smell good, but it is very strong, and definetly stays for long, unfortunately.

Fragrance notes are sand, salt and sea water. What a second! Sand, salt and sea water have no odor. So what's up? Marketing? Wishful thinking? I live by the beach. When the Nose experiences the smell of the sea, it is generally associated with the slight sulfur odor decaying plants and microorganisms, and (on my boat) exhaust fumes and the odor of past catches, Not very romantic. I will acknowledge that there are times when the slight breeze and the fragrance of the seaside plants, along with the natural odors of the sea, produce a very pleasant sensation. I know this is what Ocean wants to capture. To me, no. This is a variant of a non-specific fragrance which is pleasant and with the power of suggestion, can evoke those seaside emotions. That being said, I like Ocean. It is light and does not develop much. Good if I am looking for a light fragrance that will not compete with the fragrance of my companion.

A simple but not to forget aquatic , if that's your thing. I think demeters done a good job. Though sand and salt is listed I would have loved som lime drink to be thrown in there there too.. I love the ocean , but I like sunbathing onthe beach have the salty wind in my hair and taste a good longdrink also ! To sum up things I need something more to call my attention. If youre into aquatics and are a collecter , I guess this does the trick.

I was so hoping to love this scent - but no. I get nothing ocean, no water, no salt, no sand... in fact, it smells just chemical to me. Not even clean. Nothing soft or feminine. Unfortunately, this was one of the stronger Demeter fragrances and I had to scrub it off after a bit. I don't know if its my body chemistry or what, but - well I have a practically full bottle that I'm trying to sell!

This was my FAVOURITE perfume! Oh, how I Loved it!! I just ordered a few bottles, and they smelled Weird.. like, metallic-y, you know, faintly like blood. I Absolutely Hate it. Returning it. >:/ Way to screw up a great fragrance, Demeter.

Largely floral with coconut and aquatic water tones. It’s closer to seawater than the lovely but completely floral Demeter Salt Aair, but still not seawater. Wearable and nice though. I like it, but it's more floral soap than it is ocean.

To me this is a watered-down version of Womanity plus a faint frankincense smell - I don't know where this came from, probably this is how I perceive the sand note. It's fine but pointless - you could simply get Womanity instead.

Beautiful, oceanic, fresh breeze. Quite interesting, because most aquatic fragrances have cucumber note, which smells sour on me. This one has no sweetness, it's very natural. Perfect for everyday use. Lasts few hours.

It is very interesting to read these varied reviews. I LOVE Salt Air. Will have to try this one for myself.

It does indeed smell like the ocean. It's salty, a tad fresh and very water-y.
