Oceane

I bought this as a mostly used bottle on eBay along with a mostly full bottle of Outremer Violette. I love it!!! It lasts long enough on my upper chest to fall asleep and still strong on my night gown in the morning. Who knows, it could last for hours on my skin, but since I've been using it as a "scent to lull me to sleep" its anyone's guess. I also love the Violette. However, both my and my husband's favorite Outremer fragrance is the Oakmoss and we're fighting over the last bottle as it's one of the hardest ones to find. I was wearing Outremer's Oakmoss on our second date and he said, "I could wear that!!!" I gave him a bottle the day before our wedding so he'd have for our big day. I wore his second favorite scent on me, Pacifica Lotus Garden (now discontinued but found a dupe just a couple of months ago...read my review on that one) on our second date and honeymoon over 25 years ago. Glad to have all!!!

I love this fragrance, For me it evokes the image of standing on the railing of a boat on the Chesapeake Bay, with the wind blowing, and salt water spraying gently against the hull. It's the truest 'marine' fragrance I've ever smelled, with that little bit of a salty brine tinge to it. However, I find the scent on its own to be a bit too simple for my taste. I always layer it with other scents to make them smell more aquatic. So far my favorite pairing to layer this with are Phlur Lost Cause, or Versace Eros. It doesn't last too long but I don't mind much because it is inexpensive and can reapply once it fades.

Love it. Simple, clean and fresh, can pair with anything at any time of year or day. The only issue is it is a little basic and doesn’t last as long as other perfumes but such a staple, definitely more feminine and perfect if you just want a fresh and inoffensive scent. I don’t smell anything other than freshness (no citrus but maybe slight florals?) so is great if that’s what your looking for.

Happiness, salty spray in your face, being miserable in the cold on a ferry boat. Aquatic, loud and very direct. It isn't easy to wear, you really have to be in the mood. East coast lobster fisherman who just washed up in the showers and blasted himself with astringent aftershave, yet somehow compelling.

Fresh with a pleasant salty sting to it. 🌊 doesn’t really smell like the sea or an ocean because it lacks a seaweed/algae kind of note, but still a fresh aquatic. It does have a metallic tinge that might be off-putting to some, but for some reason I like it.
