Eau Océane

Biotherm · 2012

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Biotherm Eau Océane is a fresh, aquatic women's scent that most voters place in spring and summer, for daily wear; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and the occasions are split almost evenly between daily, leisure, sport and office wear. More voters call it feminine, though a fair number read it as masculine. It opens with watery fruits, lemon and bergamot for a cool citrus feel. The heart brings jasmine sambac and salty notes, giving a sea-breeze freshness. The base of musk, algae, moss, cedar and sand flower ends it on a green, slightly synthetic shoreline tone.
