Oceanus
Body Shop

Dry as Hokusai’s print of the great wave.
That’s how I’d describe Oceanus, but it's no great insight - that's what the design on the bottle looks like.
I thought it was going to be full of nasty aromachemicals, but no, this aquatic water lily with a powdery baseline isn't bad quality - for the genre - and it’s worth tracking down (at a good price).

Definitely aquatic. I get some light citrus notes and a strong green tea note, another review mentioned seaweed which I could be confusing it with. Some salty sea mineral notes as well. Nothing special or original, but I can't hate it.

let me say this first: i am not an ocean/aquatic/water scent person. quite the opposite: i adore the musks/oils/oriental/arab/oud scentsi don;t know what it is about oceanus that makes me tolerate it and even like it! its a happy, foamy, blue scent. clean, scrubbed down with a bar of zest type of scent.

Im not a very big fan of Oceanus. I had an Oceanus set of bath salts and lotions etc and it smells like it has seaweed extract and it really stinks after a while.

Another one of the very few aquatics I can abide, but still nothing I'll ever clamor for. I smell a lot of bergamot here, so much so that I can certainly understand the "soapy" conclusion drawn by 891. Really a pretty good frag for the price and (to the best of my knowledge) one of The Body Shop's best sellers for years. (And this time for good reason.)

Sorry, christykat, I have to agree with allen-at-home about this one about it smelling cheap. Not to say that there is anthing wrong with wearing a cheap& cheerful when you need a pick-me-up!
