Oceanus

OMG I can't believe I have never written a review for this since I've been a member on this site! Let me start by saying this....Nine times out of 10 I will not like fragrances from BBW or Body Shop. It's nothing personal or any type of dislike for the stores, it's simply that I usually find them beyond generic, beyond sweet etc etc but Oceanus......Oh Oceanus ....This is my one true love! Shhh don't tell my husband that :) clearly for those who aren't into aquatics this would not be for you but I you like l'eau d'issey, eternity aqua or perfumes like that than you will love this. Sadly it's discontinued and trying to find it is impossible, well aside from ppl on eBay trying to make serious coin out of discontinued fragrances. So if someone happens to find this cheap...Message me please!!!!

The only reason I have this one for so long after it was discontinued is because it was a gift that I liked a lot at the time, but put away and forgot about. I have occasionally pulled it out to use, but since the bottle is also rather small, it was easy to forget. It’s an absolutely gorgeous fragrance! It has this rich creamy fullness that I would not have expected from what is supposed to be an ‘aquatic’ fragrance. The flowers are very strong, and I can also detect the sandalwood that anchors them. It leaves me with an impression of saltiness that really does remind me of the ocean. It’s full-bodied, bold, but also very elegant and classy. I hope they bring it back! I use this so sparingly that anyone would be forgiven for thinking me a miser.

A friend passed this on to me,with an apology because she said she didn't find it interesting and didn't care if I passed it on or tossed it out. Goes to show that one person's "'Meh" is another person's "Mmmm". I don't usually go for aquatic scents, but this one is a delight! It brings back memories of my college years when I had the time, energy and freedom to just hop on my bicycle and peddle out 20 miles to the beach. THis perfume perfectly captures the smell of the salty ocean misted air along with the scent of the wild rose bushes that lined the boardwalk on Jones Beach. LOVE IT! Great tip from ION to keep it in the fridge. Perfect summer scent!

This was the first perfume I bought with my own money, and I think I was 10 or so. I loved it, and it was just right for a young girl; not too cloying or strong, but clean and innocent. I can recall the lily-of-the-valley and waterlily notes being strong. It's fresh, but not in a laundry detergent, soapy kind of way I really hate. (Clean perfumes, really, oh boy, eeww!) All in all, I feel sad TBS discontinued this. But if they ever put it back to market, I will get a bottle of Oceanus. Such a nostalgic scent. And appropriate for anyone.

<3 this big time - want it back now, lol! It reminds me of being a teenager, and well, yeah, being a teenager carefree and full of dreams... still am more or less both ;) Perhaps that is why I wanna see this coming back to the stores again, well, to the Body Shop that is, - so that I can have a sniff of my all time favorite (one of them that is) perfumes :) And it so reminds me of the 90's - like I wish that they could take it back into the stores, just as a 90's theme thing! I mean, the 90's are back, sorta, right, yeah?!? :D

Maybe I'm trippin, but Safeguard's Liquid Hand Soap with Notes of Lavender smells just like Oceanus. It's been since 1998 since I last bought a bottle of Oceanus and so maybe I'm wrong. But man, I time travel every time I wash my hands! Anyway, love Oceanus. It was my signature scent for a couple of years.

Bring back the body shop’s Oceanus! This is what my older sister used to wear, and with summer now in full swing here in Australia, I have been dreaming of wearing it down to the beach. A beautiful light aquatic with a very specific 90s vibe. The absolute number one salty and splashy aquatic fragrance.

This is my favourite of all Body Shop fragrances. I still have a bottle that I'm using very sparingly. It's clean, fresh, slightly floral aquatic that transports you into the Mediterranean on a balmy, hot August afternoon. I'm in my own private world when I'm wearing this beautiful little gem.

This is one of my OG fragrances! I remember every Christmas getting a gift set of this. I’m very much a lover of the fresh perfumes, it’s my absolute favourite types and this is not just fresh but aquatic (shocking with a name like Oceanus lol) perfect! Absolutely perfect!

I remember my first serious girlfriend bought me this fragrance. I absolutely loved it. I just recently smelled cool water for women. And it kind of reminded me of it. I might have to pick it up. These fresh aquatic fragrances are usually unisex now anyways.

This is the best cheap marine/Aquatic fragrance for summertime! This brings back some really sweet memories for me.. Hot Swedish summer by the ocean wearing Oceanus edt. Nothing could have been better! *ADORES IT*

I loved this smell when I was a teenager and in my early 20s. Happy memories just come back to me when I think of the smell. I wish it was still available. It was simple, straightforward, and unassuming.

This is a fresh crisp 'laundry' scent. I understand the sea undertones in this fragrance, but really, to me smells like fabric softner, which I find lovely. Very feminine.

I loved this scent back in the day! It smelt so clean and fresh and had a slight floral sweetness to it. Such a shame it was discontinued, I don't understand it.

So lovely and fresh, it makes me feel like a mermaid! I can feel the sweet salty ocean spray on my skin as the warm sun radiates off my shiny mermaid tail!

Love, Love, LOVE!!!!!!! This is so refreshing and clean. The name says it all. I don't know why this one was discontinued.

i love oceanus...i think its the best out there...maybe just cuz i like smelln fresh : )

Such fresh smell. Wish Body Shop never discontinued it! loved it sooooo much

Very pleasant smell. I do hope The Body Shop bring this perfume back.
