S.T. Dupont Essence Pure Ocean pour Femme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Essence Pure Ocean pour Femme opens with Starfruit, Lemon, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Water Hyacinth and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Patchouli. S.T. Dupont's Essence Pure Ocean pour Femme carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; a pleasant, breezy summer scent that often gets compared to bigger names, but its fleeting nature is a real deal-breaker for many. Don't expect it to stick around.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a bright, sparkling opening with zesty lemon and exotic starfruit, softened by a touch of neroli. As it settles, delicate water hyacinth and lush peony emerge, creating a fresh, floral heart. The base offers a subtle anchor of clean musk, warm cedar, and a whisper of earthy patchouli, providing a gentle, airy finish.
