Nothing really special here – sea salt on skin with sort of a generic, vaguely-citrusy/floral background, but it’s nice enough for summer wear and inoffensive enough to wear in the office and when out and about!

Actually, it’s tangerines. It’s lovely light tangerines with possibly salt on them and a white flower hiding in there (orange blossom?), but it’s citrus all the way, not sea air or salty ocean. Nice light, very pretty, very sheer and very faint as in cheap and won’t last long, but I like it and it WAS cheap. Not salty sea though, darnit.

I tested OCEANE at the store. On me, it didn’t smell like a perfume, but more as though I had salty skin. I couldn’t make up my mind whether this smelled sexy or sweaty, so decided to err on the side of caution and not purchase. I’ve come to the realization that my skin chemistry usually doesn’t get along well with dominant salty notes. If yours does, you might want to check this one out.

great aquatic sent, but very poor longevity on the skin. better on the clothes.

I sprayed this on, and I got your typical marine-cucumber-honeydew scent. It’s very pretty and oceanic like laundry detergent, but once it hit my skin and warmed up, it soured quickly.

Probably my favorite summer scent, especially if I’m going to be outdoors! It has a lovely aquatic smell with a hint of white florals and that clean, almost laundry like smell. It doesn’t change much on your skin which is really good for warm weather, and won’t become cloying if you get all sweaty like some scents can do. I have the 15ml bottle that you can get for 10 bucks at Anthropologie, but I’m probably going to pick up the bigger one if I use up the rest of this one over the summer.

One of the best, most direct, and least expensive ocean scents out there. I love aquatic scents, so fell in love with this right away. I like the Outremer line for offering interesting scents at reasonable prices.

I came across this fragrance just poking around in a clothing store….and fell in love!! It’s the perfect fragrance for warm, humid weather. It is crisp and fresh and I think, it does smell like the ocean! I bought 2 bottles and what I am not using, goes in the fridge for safe-keeping 🙂

This perfume was a great summer find for me. Bright and crisp, Oceane is a splash of deep ocean with a slight ozone tang. It’s pretty one dimensional, so there’s little change in scent throughout the wearing. Because of this, I found it to be ideal, and really only suitable, for summer weather. Outremer Oceane is an easy and relatively inexpensive summer fragrance for the person wanting something seasonal and uncomplicated.

This opens up with an enjoyable burst of grapefruit. It then transitions to an indistinct light floral, and citrusy aquatic scent. Thankfully the calone note is more cucumberish rather than melon. I wish that I could smell a salty facet to this scent and that the ozone note was intensified. Its unisex but leans toward masculine. Nevertheless, I like it a lot and think it smells good on me but even better on my husband. Nice for a really hot and humid day where you don’t want anything too sweet, heavy or astringent.

So aquatic, slight floral, very little musk–so fresh and so clean clean–I love this scent and it loves me:)

Aquatic – yes, it does indeed smell like the ocean. Nice, inexpensive. Lasts longer than the Bath and Body Works ocean scent. I bought myself a little bottle for the summer.

A later wearing: For what it claims to do, what it does and how little it costs, it’s probably the best fragrance made. As the title suggests, it is a straight up ocean (“marine”) scent. When I sprayed it on my chest this morning it was a perfect olfactory representation of being slapped in the chest by a cold wave. A total success. Made in France. You can get a small bottle at an Anthropologie store for $10 U.S.; a larger one is $18.

Update: For me, this is primarily a warm weather fragrance. When it’s warm it invokes the ocean. When it’s cold it smells indistinctly floral, not so much oceanic.

Great scent! I wore this all summer, its great for a day at the beach! However, make sure you use it because after having this for 3 years, it turned to alcohol 🙁 amazing scent, very exotic, but use quickly!

Outremer Oceane is a light aquatic scent that evokes memories of the coast with a crisp sea breeze. I wore Oceane everyday in June 2012, it’s excellent for summer! The perfect refreshing sea scent!
