Oceanus Perfume Oil

If you were a teenage girl in the 90s you were either a dewberry girlie or you weren’t. I liked it fine, but THIS!!! While my friends were fighting over the dewberry tester I was huffing the ‘ocean air’ smell of this, convinced I could catch the hint of salt from inside my deeply suburban shopping mall. It explains how I easily transitioned from spraying this on myself after school to spraying Eau d’Eden on myself in 2000. There was an uplifting freshness in them that perked me up after a long hot day. Happy to leave both discontinued scents in my memory where they can stay perfect, as that particular aquatic note has never come back. RIP 90s Body Shop.

I don't think this smells like Escape though they're both aquatic scents (Escape is peachy and alot sharper, 'detergent-like' in comparison, irritating to me)...this one is quite soft and the scent does bring to mind the ocean...it smells clean and serene, soapy with a mild floral sweetness and just a tinge of something in-discernibly fruity. It makes you want to sit alone by the sea early at dawn and contemplate the meaning of life. It's a beautiful scent especially in oil formulation, very long-lasting on the skin, and I really miss it :( It was my favorite Body Shop scent growing up.

So many years passed by I was almost a teen and I still remember it. It was my very first love and it played a defining role to my taste loving violet, jasmine, rose, lily of the valley and musk. I just bought one of these new perfumes from fragrancenet Bliss by Symetrie and they share a few notes and it reminded me of it altho Bliss is less aquatic.

My best friend used to wear this and let me borrow some. It worked well for both of us and I loved it. If I got a whiff of it now, it would surely bring back memories. Shame it's not available anymore in stores, though. At least not where I live.

I remember falling in love with this, along with Aramis' New West. It reminds me of my time at University and long, happy Summer hols. Far pleasanter than most of today's Body Shop fragrances.

my mom had this, i remember it as a lovely pick me up scent. and it is verrry long lasting. i don't see this scent offending anyone. perfect for a carefree day at the beach or a very hot day

This was my childhood signature scent and I'm feeling nostalgic. I'm sure my nose has evolved past it so I hope to never smell it again and preserve the memory intact and perfect.

my fav perfumme from body shop. i like it. so fresh and very aquatic and clean

I received this from my uncle as a christmas present so many years ago. I didn't like it very much at the time, being a young teen and all, but now it's a nice, fresh exception in my perfume closet full of sweet fragrances. This doesn't smell very much like flowers to me, I have always thought of it being an aquatic. Usually I HATE anything aquatic, but this I even like, so I guess the flowers are responsible for that. Very fresh, definitely for summer! At least on my skin this doesn't leave much of a sillage. It stays very close to the skin and that's a shame, because I would like others to smell this too. Doesn't last very long either, a few hours at most. Oceanus is one very common fresh/aquatic/water flowery perfume. If you have never smelled this, you will not be missing anything! There are plenty of other fragrances of this kind to discover.

Yep, this one really does smell of salt sea and spray! Maybe a bit of a clumsy interpretation (bit like a cheaper escape) but it has something that makes you feel happy and nostalgic. Definately only for summer daytime wear! You can't wear this all the time though, as it has little depth and personality, a bit like a demeter frag.

I remember lying to a guy that I was wearing Cool Water Woman while wearing this because I thought he'd just be confused if I said it was this. lol (I was in my teens then and Cool Water Woman was popular and therefore expensive back then.) Nice aquatic scent. He said "really?" I think maybe he didn't believe me.

Non mi fa impazzire come fragranza,ma d'estate sta bene addosso. D'inverno no,la escludo perchè troppo fredda e troppo intensa. Però tenendo conto che è stato creato nei promi anni 80,è stato sicuramente uno dei primi se non il primo acquatico.

I was a young kid when my sister was gifted this along with fuzzy peach perfume oil. The other day we were going through her perfumes and we found these at the bottom of the box. They smell exactly the same as they did 30+ years ago, which is truly amazing. Oceanus was always a difficult one for me. Not because I didn't like the smell, but because I have a particular reaction to the Calone scent molecule and this has it in excess. It hits me in the chest first, triggering the tightening of my airways, which moves into a full asthmatic reaction, followed by a headache. I get a tonne of Calone, which gives it that watery, ocean air quality (that reminds me of Eau d'Eden) with some watery florals and white musk. It's an interesting scent, mostly because of the memories of an era, but also because there just isn't anything like this around anymore. I have a lot of perfumes and I'm partial to watery florals, including some of the ones mentioned in the smells like tab, but they don't really have much in common with this. This is unique.

This is my wife's fragrance and she's quickly running out, though she uses it sparingly. Oceanus (especially the perfume oil) has always left me weak in the knees. I'm not sure if it's pheromones or what exactly, but every time I smell it, it's like I've been smacked in the face by love. It's like the romantic equivalent of the aroma of baking bread. I've never experienced anything quite like it with any other fragrance. That's only gotten stronger the longer we've been together, of course. But since her supply is dwindling (and we're not able to shell out $200 on Amazon), I'm looking for something as similar as I can find. Any suggestions? We're in San Diego, so everything's available nearby to test.

This is a fantastic fresh slightly sweet beachy ocean smell. Its just perfect forf summer days, and it smells fab in winter (i mix it with TBS vanilla oil) Its very versatile and great on its own.

I have 2 favourites from Bodyshop: the discontinued BeLeaf and Oceanus. But I prefer the EDT spray.

I really loved this scent, very fresh and clean. I don't think it's available anymore.

Hi everyone, I have a bottle I'm willing to sell. Anyone interested pm me.
