By the editors · 2 min readOceanus opens on a single watery note — water lily — before expanding into a full aquatic floral heart. Lily of the valley, jasmine, violet, geranium, and rose press outward together, each jostling for space in a composition that reads more as a bouquet than a solo. Sandalwood and musk settle the whole thing in the dry-down, adding a skin-warm finish. Undated but likely from the late 1990s or early 2000s, Oceanus captures the era's taste for clean, ocean-adjacent florals without leaning fully aquatic.
