By the editors · 2 min readOceania opens with a bright, herbal salinity—lavender and rosemary mingling with citrus that feels scrubbed clean by sea air rather than sunny. The thyme adds a resinous, almost mineral edge, as if you've crushed it between your fingers on a clifftop walk. This isn't tropical beachside leisure; it's the bracing clarity of coastal aromatics meeting cool water.
As it settles, jasmine and ylang-ylang emerge without sweetness, tempered by violet's powdery restraint and a green iris backdrop. The floralcy stays sheer, woven into rather than layered over the opening's herbal framework. By the base, sandalwood and vetiver provide a soft, woody anchor, with labdanum and benzoin adding warmth that never turns heavy. Vanilla appears as a whisper, rounding edges rather than dominating.
The result is a refined fougère with aquatic sensibility—clean and deliberate, suited to someone who prefers their florals intelligently composed and their freshness sustained beyond the first hour.
