The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by perfumer Olivier Gillotin, Tommy Summer Ocean Wave is a refreshing EDT that captures the essence of a sunny seaside day. The fragrance opens with bright and zesty citrus notes like lemon and bitter orange, complemented by the crispness of apple and pink pepper. As it evolves, green elements such as palm leaf and juniper add a fresh, natural touch, while aromatic ravenala brings an unexpected depth. The base layers in vanilla, tonka bean, musk, and akigalawood for a warm, comforting finish that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply this EDT in light layers for the best experience. The citrus top notes fade within two hours but leave behind a warm base that develops over time. It's perfect for daytime wear as it keeps you fresh without overpowering.
