The story behind the bottle.
Ocean by Bath & Body Works is an Aromatic Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of fresh, invigorating sea air. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from yuzu and bergamot, followed by a refreshing blend of watermelon and artemisia. As it evolves, elemi resin and nutmeg add depth and warmth, while lavender brings a touch of aromatic freshness. The base notes of vetyver, virginia cedar, olibanum, patchouli, and orris root ground the fragrance with earthy and woody undertones.
Apply Ocean in light layers — its ozonic and fresh spicy accords are best experienced close to skin rather than filling a room. It pairs well with daytime activities but can also transition into early evening without feeling overpowering.
