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.

I fell in love with this perfume when I was 9 years old, the magic bottle and fragrance ... obviously my parents didnt buy it, I was too small to use. Years passed and I looked like crazy ... to finally find this perfume .. totally reminds me of the days on the dock watching the sea at sunset. Fresh, floral, comforting with something that i dont know what it is but that takes you into memories. It is very feminine,for me and my skin. Azhar leaves remain on my skin and fade away as if you were soaked in seawater.

I bought this around 14 years ago in the Harrods sale and I'm still very happy with it. It is what it is, an underrated powdery, floral aquatic, and it does it exceptionally well. The balance of the individual notes has been expertly produced as they all work hard together to give a fully rounded, wear anytime, inoffensive fragrance. For me it's calming and grounding and makes the world feel like a happier, cosier place. If you want a beautiful floral aquatic, this one should definitely be a consideration.

I remember smelling this on a colleague around 1996?and loving it . I bought a bottle and although I don't get the powdery soapy notes that people are describing, I do get marine fresh notes. It immediately became my signature scent and went through approx 6 x bottles. I revisited this a few years ago and still love it so much. Everytime I spray it it takes me back to my time spent in Barbados. Aah happy days and gorgeous scent. This will always have a place in my collection.

like many reviewers here, i was in love with this fragrance back in middle school- i found half a bottle in my mom's house, and decided to bring it back with me. i don't know if perfume goes bad over time, but it smells like pure alcohol, and nothing else. my main critique of the original fragrance, from when i did wear it years ago, is that it wore off really quickly. i will have to hunt it down and smell a fresh bottle to see if it is still the smell i remember it to be.

This one is so unbelievably amazing. So pretty, so cute... I have a mini of it from the 90s which I got from a friend and I treasure it. Can't seem to find a full bottle. It's a true treasure. The sea water note with heliotrope and water lily... it feels like I remember the late 90s smelling like. Wish more fragrances like this were still available. It kinda reminds me of Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden, also... so I see why so many are rating it as a "reminds me of"

My all-time favorite aquatic, no longer made by Giorgio Beverly Hills, but the difference in scent seems minimal. Enough to keep me enjoying it and daydreaming about going dolphin watching on the Gulf of Mexico. Surprisingly long lasting on me for such a soft fragrance. Aside from water notes I can also detect mostly the orange blossom and soft woody vanilla base. Another work of art by Alberto Morillas. Pleasant any time of year for any age or gender.

I purchased a bottle of this recently as I have been feeling very nostalgic for the gems of years past. I sprayed myself down with this yesterday, I normally give myself about 10 sprays of perfume on clothes and skin. Hours later I was wondering where the clean soapy smell was coming from and it was this beauty! It's absolutely gorgeous and doesn't give you a headache if you over spray. Lovely for spring and summer or anytime of the year.

The weather was hot today, in the 80s. I sprayed on Ocean Dream and went about my day. I had an appointment several hours later. I got 3 compliments on how wonderful and fresh I smelled while at the appointment! Not over powering just fresh and clean smelling they said. I really couldn't smell it any longer on myself but clearly it has some staying power. It is a beautiful fragrance that I love to wear in the heat.

I just got this perfume today, it's not a blind buy, because I had a tiny-tiny bottle some 30 years ago, and, this 90ml bottle smells as like it was made yesterday!! It smells as I remember; some kinda white waterflowers, some aqua-notes, some sopyness, it's soft and clean, it smells divided, and I think it's perfect for females from 0-100 years, and, it's also very office-friendly. Points: A solid 10/10!!

I love love love this nice soft aquatic perfume. It is beautiful during the summer and springtime. My husband loves this on me. I am still confused about what notes are actually in this though? Other websites list cedar and moss, bergmont, and peach and lemon, but I don't see any of those notes listed here. Does anyone know??? Well, this is an oldie but a goodie that is soft and comforting. Love it.

Lily, sea notes (salt, marine), a vanilla that also hints of coconut. Sweet. Very pleasant and soft and uncomplicated. Last about an hour. Dries down to clean, citrusy, floral musk. The orange blossom note is more prevalent outdoors and smells more like satsuma. Overall impression is watery florals and musk dominate. Zero woods. Also no dry powder notes, a plus.

I was obsessed with Ocean Dreams back in middle school on to high school. It was my signature scent and really started my love affair with perfumes. I still have a bottle and will wear it from time to time. Even after all these years I never get sick of the smell. It is a refreshing, beautiful, daytime wear perfume.

i love it!!! smells like sunscreen and fresh clothes at the beach, it does great in hot weather, feels almost cooling (it's 36C right now). holds well to natural fibers and skin, for this price its a must have for summer. the bottle is also sooo pretty looks great on my shelf

I loved this when it first came out-I practically lived in it. It smelled fresh, clean, and warm all at once. My bf at the time thought it was amazing. When it became harder to find I moved on to other scents. I wonder if I would still love it now...

I just love this fragrance, so sad its gone. It leaves me seeking my new favorite. I did just order some from ebay which I'm concerned will be a knockoff, but we will see! Soft notes of floral and water. An easy wear.
