Bizarre Name Choice

My bottle of Ocean Rain by Mario Valentino arrived today. It has a little pamphlet inside that reads

Ocean Rain by Mario Valentino is a study in green, with hints of fruit and flowers, and woody ambered tones. The initial fresh effect is created by herbal essences, blending harmoniously with the fruity and marine fragrances to produce an aromatic mixture reminiscent of the delicate bouquet exhuded by "Chartreuse." This base is enhanced and softened by the perfume of tropical flowers, imbued with woody, ambered tones. This marvellous combination is the source of a splendidly sophisticated fragrance.

Why this was called Ocean Rain has me scratching my head. Not getting ocean or rain.

On first sniff I got a dark green, herbal, animalic bomb, with quite a bit of woods. This is followed by those florals along with salty resin. This is cypress trees on the coast and Mediteranean herbs in the heat. I can almost feel that hot breeze. Really liking this unusual scent.
