Oceani di Seta

Really? 3.56 out of 5 at the time of writing this review. Really??? What's wrong with people these days? This fragrance deserves to be in the 4+ range, not 3.56. Is it because it doesn't project? Is it because it doesn't last for 25 hours? Is it because it's not Chanel? I no longer trust the ratings of fragrances on this website. Many times, the fragrances that I loathe are highly rated and the ones I love are rated so lowly. I know it's a matter of taste, but lots of people equate projection and longevity to quality, and that is not what I believe in. When it comes to fragrances, SCENT comes first. Everything else is secondary. That is what I believe. And Oceani di Seta does, in fact, have quite a unique and fabulous scent. Not sure why lots of people say it's salty. It's not to my nose, because I wouldn't be able to love it so easily if it were. (I strongly dislike marine/salt accords, with very few exceptions.) To my nose, it is floral and SWEET. Yes, sweet, like, in the summery vibe. Not gourmand kind of sweet. I don't think it smells that closely to l'Eau d'Issey pour Femme, but it does resemble l'Eau d'Issey pour Femme Summer Edition by Kevin Lucbert, in the sense of creaminess and smoothness, but excluding the frangipani note. Also, I bet there are more notes in here than the pyramid above, though the brand does not advertise it. I was hooked from the first spritz. On my skin, it develops into a powdery musky scent after the sweet floral opening. It is beautiful and simple - just what I like. There's no projection to be had. This is a scent to be appreciated solely by oneself. I don't mind that because usually that's my fragrance philosophy anyhow. Longevity is average. Highly and undeservedly underrated. The entire Salvatore Ferragamo brand, that is. Again, don't believe the ratings. Try for yourself. PS. Smells like rose tea on clothes, which makes it even better for me. Hope they never discontinue this gem.

My favourite perfume so far! I was deeply fascinated by its scent when I first tried it in a cosmetic store two years ago. Deeply in love with it, but ended up not purchasing it due to different reasons. Time flew and a few days ago I came across the perfume again. It is still as clean and light as in my memories. Purchased it and have 0 regrets. Wearing it is like a soft sea wave gently brushing your feet in hot summer days - simple, oceanic and refreshing. Slightly feminine, but still suits both men and women; longevity and sillage are not that great but still worth giving it a try. 8.5/10.

my favourite perfume! it's so simple yet so good every time! i get compliments and questions about the scent whenever i wear it <3. it is very much like an oceanic scent to me, the floral scents are wonderful, even though i am not a big fan of mainly floral noted perfumes... the salt isn't too overwhelming either. it's a very simplistic but beautiful perfume, absolutely recommend it!

A very nicely done aquatic perfume! So feminine! It’s not “flat”- i get some delicate sweetness and yet it manages to stay very clean and fresh. Each time i go to sephora i can’t help but spray it on myself, so i guess I’ll get myself a bottle 😅, It’s the perfect choice and a safe blind buy if you love aquatic perfumes!

reminds me of the time i lived on the island, i wish i had drunk it in more so this scent makes me a little bit sad. smells like how sea salt spray tastes on your lips, after applying lip balm on a freezing beach - watching the love of your life surfing on violent waves
