Roja Parfums Oceania EDP

Description

Oceania is Roja Dove's 2019 salute to sea breeze and sunlit water, opening on a big citrus burst of bergamot, grapefruit and lime before a jasmine-violet heart and a mossy, sandalwood-vetiver base. It's worth knowing this EDP has a Parfum-strength sibling: see the comparison below before you decide which to sample.

How It Differs From Oceania Parfum

• Oceania EDP: the brighter, more citrus-forward original. Some reviewers note a faint synthetic "clean" note in the first 30 minutes that settles out.
• Oceania Parfum: a later, more refined reformulation with smoother blending and noticeably stronger longevity and projection. If performance matters more than price, the Parfum is the upgrade.

Scent Character

• Fresh: 32%
• White Floral: 28%
• Woody: 26%
• Sweet: 10%

Translation: a fresh-floral-woody frame, citrus and aromatics up top, a soft floral heart, and mossy sandalwood underneath. (There's no agarwood in the disclosed notes; the woody base is cedar, sandalwood and moss.)

FAQ

Is it men's or women's?
Unisex.

EDP or Parfum, which should I try?
The EDP is brighter and more affordable; the Parfum is a smoother, longer-lasting reformulation. Sample both if you're unsure.

What's the longevity?
Good for an EDP: typically 7–9 hours.

Is this a "marine" or "oceanic" fragrance?
Despite the name, it's citrus-aromatic rather than salty or aquatic. There's no literal marine note.
