Which Should You Buy?
Oceania is a supremely divisive one, praised by some as a fizzy, high-quality citrus masterpiece perfect for summer, while others label it an overpriced, generic cleaner or baby wipe scent. It’s either a freshie triumph or a total rip-off - there’s no middle ground here.
Bleu Oceanic is Alexandria UK's dupe of Roja Dove's Oceania, chasing the same billowing five-citrus opening and coastal-aromatic heart. The dupe's citrus is brighter but simpler than the original's orchestral blend, and the woody-amber base fades faster than Roja's exceptional-longevity formula.

Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear and sport, preventing it from being too heavy. However, its often-criticised average performance means it's less ideal for formal events where longevity is key. The clean nature makes it acceptable for office wear, but less impactful for a date.
