Ocean Dream

I almost have forgotten that I have this beauty in my wardrobe! Since a couple of days summer came back to Switzerland and we have currently fanciful 22c in the morning and it will go up to over 30c today so therefore this morning I was looking for something "fresh and summery" to wear to get me through this hot day at the office. I rather would have spent the day at the lake ...;-) Suddenly, while I got dressed, I remembered that I actually still own a bottle of "Ocean Dream"! I got my first bottle when it came out in 1996 or so....and it was one of my favourite daytime fragrance back in my "Miami days".... When I got back to Switzerland a bought a bottle again, but seldom wore it since it reminded me so much of my days in Miami and my ex-husband.... So today, after many years of absence from this fragrance I wear it again with great joy! This is really a very beautiful fragrance and I remember that I received tons of compliments from men and women back then (in Miami) whenever I was wearing it! The scent is fresh and clean smelling....a bit flowery and aquatic ....It really captured the smell you get while you spent a day at the ocean or lake....very beautiful!!! "Ocean Dream" is not overpowering but it is still noticeable enough to others when the stay a bit closer to you....like for example in an elevator! This actually has happened today when I got in the elevator this morning with a guy and he was deeply inhaling (!) the air around him..... So far, no "bad memories" of my ex....so therefore I will wear this beauty for the rest of the summer! :-)

I was curious about this scent, and from reading these reviews I was not expecting much. Honestly I bought it for the bottle. The bottle I have is a round, pale blue, pearlescent finish with a pearl bound by wire on the neck of the bottle by Designer Parfums Ltd. England. I absolutely love the bottle! First spray I sense some alcohol and some white floral. Within a few minutes this changes to more a powdery white floral and marine notes, not salty. Really a very light, powdery, pretty easy to wear summer scent. Wears close to the skin which I expected. I am loving this! Definitely my most favorite perfume bottle ever! April 2021 The more that I experience Ocean Dream the more that I like it! The top of it is almost straight alcohol, but if you let it dry down for a minute or two it's beautiful. Like sweet warm water. Water lily, sea notes YES! I smell the orange blossom and the vetiver is there as well. Ocean Dream is a sophisticated summer floral aquatic. Unique among aquatics as it doesn't depend upon the citrus to give it an airy dimension. Has anyone else noticed how much the price of fragrances has increased since last year? Ha! It must be all of us who were in quarantine in 2020 buying up the all the perfumes out there! Fragrances that I purchased last spring for under $20.00 are now going for well over that! :0

One of the most perfect summer perfumes I can recall ever having - not too citric, not too fresh, floral in the right proportion and never EVER unisex, which is a great thing! I recall water lily and marine notes mainly and it had a good staying power - well, it was the pinkish-fluorescent bottle I had, I can`t say anything about the recent editions. It disappeared off the shelves then and I never repurchased it..As mentioned before, it does bring out the mermaid in you - I`m a total summer babe and both the scent and the bottle always brought me reminiscing about summertime, seaside, carefree days and nights spent in the sun by the sea and lakes. It is more of a `young scent` but I`m seriously tempted to order a bottle for the coming summer now and I need to have it in my collection. If you are into fresh floral scents, it is a must try!

I absolutely adored this fragrance when it first came out in 1997 it was my signature fragrance for summer. So light and fresh and oceanic. It was the perfume that I wore when I first met my husband. I was so disappointed when I couldn't find it anymore. I recently did a search on the internet and couldn't believe that it was still being made - unfortunately not by Georgio Beverly Hills, but I was just so happy to have found it again. So I have a bottle on my dresser all ready for spring/summer. I love to smell clean and fresh but find I really dislike citrus perfumes so this floral aquatic really fits the bill and yet it still has depth with its sandalwood and musk notes. Beautiful.

I discovered Ocean Dream when I was 22 years old. It was my signature scent for a long time. I wasn't a fan of the initial spritz. At first I was unsure of whether or not I actually even liked Ocean Dream. So I waited for a bit and then it happened, I totally fell in love. The dry down was so intoxicating that I couldn't get enough. It's funny how so many memories in my early 20's are attached to this perfume. I close my eyes and remember the powdery softness of Vetiver and Sandalwood, it weighs heavy on my heart... I think it may be time to revisit this old favorite of mine.
