Ethereal beauty that exceeds the sum of its parts
Forget the notes.

If you get wrapped up in that endless list of notes on this fragrance, you'll miss the forest for the trees.

Yes, it's got citrus; yes, it's got florals; yes, it's got some musk.

But focusing your attention on any one of those elements means you risk trying to put this fragrance into a box in which, once you wear it, it stubbornly refuses to stay.

This is a masterful, sensational blend that envelopes you in a breezy, almost gauzy veil of soft and delicate aromas that also lingers and projects far beyond what you'd expect for something so bright.

It's transportive, evocative, and even intoxicating. I can't overstate how SOFT the aroma itself is. I don't mean "soft" performance: I mean that there's something so sophisticated and elegant, something round and gentle, about the way this fragrance approaches you. But once it draws you in, it refuses to leave you. It stays with me for hours and hours - easily one of the best-performing fresh scents in my collection.

I know the name seems to point toward water, and there is something somehow watery about this - but for me, this evokes air. "Oceania" also refers to a region, and this fragrance does put me in mind of a warm, heady floral breeze in some idyllic tropical seaside.

This was such a surprise. On the page, it doesn't necessarily read like something I'd love. But on skin, I just can't get enough of this stuff. Easily a top 5 fragrance for me, and makes a serious case for itself as my absolute favorite.

Not just another aquatic
This is such a lovely scent.

It’s so light, soft, airy, but very much present.

It’s watery without ever being aquatic or salty.

The citrus and herbal touches at the top are super vibrant, efervescent, energising, natural feeling. Really opens up your eyes.

Then the way it transitions to an airy yet powdery Violet, slightly carnal jasmin and soft enveloping iris is heartwarmingly beautiful.

The base is soft, musky, melds with the skin. But never stops projecting its airy, watery, fresh presence.

At first glance a very simple and straightforward scent, that surprises you with its complexity and behaviour as you wear it.

Climbed to the top of my favourites for warm days and, mind you, rainy days as well!

I find the floral and violet nuance of this, amazing for rainy days.

Beautiful Oceanic Fragrance
This is one where the original is worth the price of admission. I've tried some clones of this one, and they all fail to capture the breezy airiness of the citrus. There's an ethereal quality to it. When it wafts, you're reminded of scents that are ancillary to a beach vacation. It's wonderful that this is accompanied without traditional aquatic notes, yet it feels aquatic.

The citruses are some of the brightest out there. It serves a similar evocative purpose to Erolfa, although it is not quite as effervescent, and the scents themselves are not similar.

OCEANIA (Roja)


Oceania has a super citrus, refreshing, and slightly sweet opening, not that sharp biting citrus. Delicious exit! Lavender is already present, bringing that slightly powdery aspect of cleanliness. This lavender, together with the green and fresh spices, place the fragrance in a very pleasant aromatic zone of freshness.
In the center is a luxurious bouquet of flowers in which Roja Dove gives her demanding personal touch, raising the level of perfume to levels of sophistication that few brands can reach. Everything distributed with great balance, care and without weight and intensity, keeping the composition in a safe and pleasant field always. Easy to please the user and close people. It has a satisfactory average performance for this classification of perfumes.
Oceania is to shine on days of intense heat!

The duet of iris with violet with a powdery nuance, fragrant, without makeup vibration that, intertwining with musk, reinforces the feeling of being clean and fragrant all the time.
Towards deeper oceans with mossy greenish woods, and I feel the juniper also bringing only depth to the composition.
It has an ambery accord of vanilla with benzoin that accompanies the fragrance throughout its evolution. But the protagonists of this creation are bright citrus, florals with emphasis on lavender, iris intertwined with moss and a clean musky. Oceania is a simple fougére with exquisite ingredients. I didn't get any aquatic/oceanic or blue vibes, but rather a lot of citrus, aromatic, floral and herbal green. And yet it's very good!

Liquid Fabric Softener
This opens with bright, tart citrus which smells like Pixy Stix candy (I leave it up to you to discover the candy for yourself), and dries down to smell exactly like liquid fabric softener.

I've recently discovered a statement of the same sentiment on Facebook, which had been posted before I had ever tested Oceania, so I know I'm not the only one getting the fabric softener smell

To think that I was almost seduced into a blind purchase, by the beautiful bottling

Why, Roja Parfums, are you hurriedly pumping out blasé creations??

Extremely realistic fresh bowl of mixed citrus flesh, herbs, and flowers. Invigorating, slightly sweet & salty, with a mossy-woody base.

After a pronounced spicy-citric opening, this clean and soapy aquatic-floral Summer fragrance, settles to a gentle and dry earthy-woody base

ALD? Beaufort?. No. It's just a citrusy/aquatic scent with a formic acid twist. Complex, but not in the way those two are.

Citral-heavy aromatics with floral nuances. Uplifting, well-structured but simply not my taste.

Unusual and well-crafted: aquatic freshness, green-grassy-herbaceous florality and cedar-like woodiness come together beautifully here.

Bright, realistic citruses and spices in the opening. Floral, marine, woody in the heart. In the drydown, it smells like a fabric softener.

Musky-aquatic with a certain "lemonade by the sea" sensation. A bit like Sedley, but less citruses. Underwhelming performance, summer only.
