Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oceania Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Songe à La Douceur C.B. Eau de Parfum

This one's a slow burn, but utterly rewarding. Don't let the initial quirks put you off; give it time, and you might just fall head over heels for its unique, seductive charm. A divisive opening, but a universally loved dry-down.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oceania Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

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.

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its moderate projection and clean, fresh-powdery accord make it highly suitable for office and casual wear, providing a subtle elegance. While elegant enough for formal events, its unique opening might not be for everyone, and it's too refined for sport.
