What does Ocean Dream (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top notes of lotus and water hyacinth give it a cool, watery feel. In the heart, lily of the valley and orange blossom soften the floral side. At the base, vanilla, heliotrope and sandalwood sweeten the scent and lend it a powdery warmth, with a synthetic sheen running throughout.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters recommend summer and spring; daily wear, leisure and work are the occasions named most often. It is mostly seen as feminine and modern. Davidoff Cool Water Woman and Rochas Fleur d'Eau have a close profile.
