Oceania is top of my list for this summer. It's pricy though but I think its now time to invest in one major purchase every few months rather than a few cheaper alternatives every month.
I tried this today at Bloomingdale's and loved it. My wife also liked it and said she'd wear it herself. Im thinking of pulling the trigger on this one, but just dropped a good amount of coin on 3 Creed fragrances. Also, im contemplating between this and Xerjoff Torino 21. Which of the 2 do u prefer?
Great review as always! I’m a serial Blind Buyer and really wanted this one about 1.5 years ago when I began developing my warm weather fragrance collection. Unfortunately, it was continually out of stock. Your review reminded me to try again. Thanks
I’ve had a 2ml sample of this for almost a year now and I’ve been using it so sparingly. I love how this smells tho not exactly what I imagined based on the packaging/name. Man having a bottle of this would make my year
This is definitely one I’ve been wanting to get my nose on. I just wish it wasn’t out of my price range. I watch all your videos and I hope life has been good to you!
Gold bar dial soap was my only Frag before i started watching you now i have about 17 big bottles and about 30 altogether....., I didn't know ISOLA BLU was the new Oligarch i learn so much here...Thank You !!!
I'm on my second 10ml sample vial, but as soon as I can afford it, I'm buying the whole experience, definitely! A truly wonderful fragrance Great vid, thanks.
I just saw a review of this! I know this marketed to men but I feel, based on the notes I could pull it off! I have one Roja Sweetie Aoud! I feel the ultimate gourmand! Another great review!
This one is magical, bro! It was love at first sniff for me. As I've said before, it reminds me of the scene in Titanic when Leonardo DiCaprio and kate Winslet stood on the bow of the ship. You'll feel like the king of the world wearing this.🔥
I blind bought Elysium and it smelled AMAZING! Unfortunately I had a bit of a respiratory reaction and had to sell it 😭 adding salt to the wound. I sold that amazing scent at a financial loss. I want to try this before I buy but no one has it in Toronto. Too scared to blind buy a pricey Roja again
i would say its reminiscent of eau sauvage, but more unisex and with citruses that smell like you literally put your face to the fruit in real life. then out of seemingly nowhere theres some vanillic scent that comes to the surface during the drydown
I recently got into frags. For summer, I narrowed it down to oceania, Nio, renaissance, torino and Sedley. I think im leaning towards Oceania but its so expensive 😅
@@kanishkamarasinghe9354 i actually ended up getting cedrat boise on sale for $65 😂. But i think if i were to get one of those in the future i would choose sedley. Its basic and doesnt satisfy the frag snobs but for me the safety of it appeals for hot weather. Renaissance is very hit or miss i heard bcuz of that mint note and torino leans feminine. Oceania is just so expensive.
@@Tsobe I really appreciate you saying that, and I also want to thank you for taking the time to comment on the video. I appreciate the interaction very much. I hope you're having a wonderful week.
I just wore it for the first time and you being one of my go to reviewers, I just automatically clicked this video to get your opinion, not realizing this is a brand new review. 🤣 Funny timing.
I’ve wanted this so bad. I remember your first review and seen how you grew to love it more and more since that first review. The price rate ultimately keeps me away
@@Redolessence as a moderate collector myself I’ll just need to get a sample. You can still get a-lot of enjoyment out of a small sample. I don’t need to own the full bottle to have the full experience.
HELLO STEVEN, HOW ARE YOU? I HAVE HAD A SAMPLE OF ROJA OCEANIA BUT I LOVE IT!! IT IS A PERFECT SUMMER AND SPRING FRAGRANCE. YOU ALWAYS MAKE IT SOUND SO GOOD!!STAY SAFE BROTHER
Totally overrated. Really nothing special. I got a generous 3 ml Sample and don't know what to with it since I will not be wearing it. It smells kinda cheap tbh. Yikes
Oceania is top of my list for this summer. It's pricy though but I think its now time to invest in one major purchase every few months rather than a few cheaper alternatives every month.
That's a great way of looking at it!
@@RedolessenceOceania smells extremely similar to Creed SMW to my nose
You have such excellent reviews. I love your scent knowledge, forthrightness, and overall kindness. Much love, and thank you for all of your work!
You are so welcome!

I have been intrigued by a few Roja perfumes, but I have never tried this one. I like the name and the bottle is beautiful. Good review Steven!
Great review as always! I’m a serial Blind Buyer and really wanted this one about 1.5 years ago when I began developing my warm weather fragrance collection. Unfortunately, it was continually out of stock. Your review reminded me to try again. Thanks
Hope you enjoy it!
@@Redolessence in your opinion which one is sexier, Oceania or Afternoon Swim? Thanks in advance and have a wonderful day
As always great review my dear friend. I bought this and midsummer dream last year because of you . Absolutely amazing. Best wishes from Mexico.
Great to hear! I hope you're having a great week!
I don’t have any Roja but this appealed to me when I was researching but thanks for the reminder. You never steer me wrong Steven!
Thank you so much, Janine!
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Thank you! You too!
You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much GOD BLESS 🙏
It has such a beautiful bottle. Presentation matters!
I totally agree!
I love it can’t get enough of it spring and summer!! The wearing experience is just amazing
I agree!

Thank You!🙏🏾
This fragrance has been on my list for a while now!⏳/⌛
Also the "Taif Aoud" sounds great as well.
Good choice!
The blue crystals at the top make it look so cool lol
Thank you for watching!
One of my new favorites! Hope to be picking this up, soon! 👍
Omg this is amazing, the notes as described are nothing but amazing. Thank you for an amazing review. Commenting from Orlando, FL, USA
Glad you enjoyed it!
Need to try the florals and citrus combo in this! Sounds beautiful!
You should!
Smelled this in Selfridges and it smells amazing!
So glad you love it!
I just saw a review of this! I know this marketed to men but I feel, based on the notes I could pull it off! I have one Roja Sweetie Aoud! I feel the ultimate gourmand! Another great review!
A woman could totally wear it but only if she's okay with something that might be ever so slightly masculine to some
I've been wanting to try this one for some time now!
Great review my favorite fresh fragrance
Good choice!
Sounds wonderful, great info.
Glad you think so!
Great review, thanks for sharing this review
Thanks for watching!
Just bought this awesome fragrance!
Ready for the summer!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@Redolessence i will! And thank you for great video!

Same here!
Hey Steven, let's hear your thoughts on this one
Thank you for watching!
Great fragance, is in my to buy list after buying a bottle of Elisyum.
That's right!
I blind bought Elysium and it smelled AMAZING! Unfortunately I had a bit of a respiratory reaction and had to sell it 😭 adding salt to the wound. I sold that amazing scent at a financial loss. I want to try this before I buy but no one has it in Toronto. Too scared to blind buy a pricey Roja again
What do you mean a respiratory reaction? What exactly happened?
Thanks for a fantastic channel! How would you compare Oceania with Xerjoff nio? Which one of them would you personally prefer?
Thank you so much! Oceania is much more floral whereas Nio is much more spicy with cardamom and a fresh bergamot introduction.
i like the smell alot, i wish it was a little stronger but i bought this after hearing you review it previously. you didnt steer me wrong lol
i would say its reminiscent of eau sauvage, but more unisex and with citruses that smell like you literally put your face to the fruit in real life. then out of seemingly nowhere theres some vanillic scent that comes to the surface during the drydown
Thank you so much for the insightful comment!
Typical, complex Roja that actually sounds wearable and lush. Thanks Steven!
You're welcome!
How is the cap? Loose or snug?
blind bought it as a set with Elysium and i love it💯 but on my skin i have to overspray hardcore so it lasts🤷♂
Do they complement each other? Or does one make the other redundant? Thanks
Great summer fragrance.. greetings from Greece🇬🇷
Thanks for watching!
Is this a safe blind buy ?
Don't blind buy Oceania, try a sample first.
Thanks for a great channel.
Roja is my favourite brand. If I want experience it
Hope you love it!
I recently got into frags.
For summer, I narrowed it down to oceania, Nio, renaissance, torino and Sedley.
I think im leaning towards Oceania but its so expensive 😅
Same here, deciding between this and Torino21
what did you end up buying? Im wondering if oceania leans feminine because of the violet and lavender?
@@kanishkamarasinghe9354 i actually ended up getting cedrat boise on sale for $65 😂. But i think if i were to get one of those in the future i would choose sedley.

I have oceania I also have a fragrance named bharara Bleu that smells about 91 percent the same
Thank you for sharing!
I love this fragrance and am saving up for a bottle
Hope you can get it soon!

Great job
Thank you
Have you tried Ocean of Dua by Dua brand?
So...why did Roja name it and package it wrong?
Steeeeevvveeennnn I swear rhis is one of my holy grails 😢😢😢
Me too!!
do you think it leans feminine or masculine ?
@@kanishkamarasinghe9354 it smells like the bottle looks
I’m getting this next
Nice!
I’ve wanted this so bad. I remember your first review and seen how you grew to love it more and more since that first review. The price rate ultimately keeps me away
I totally understand how the price is a bit steep and that would get in the way of people being able to justify the purchase.

I just did!, posted my comment! Merci!!!
Good luck!
Never owned something that expensive hope I win
Summer doesn't always mean "blue".
That is true
Love Oceania and Oligarch for their high quality freshies.
Both are amazing
Your top 10 summer in 2024?
It will more than likely be on the list!
@@RedolessenceOk, so what is on the list?
Super long overdue
Indeed!!
Totally overrated. Really nothing special. I got a generous 3 ml Sample and don't know what to with it since I will not be wearing it. It smells kinda cheap tbh. Yikes
Gahhhhh only made it second.
It's all good! Thank you for stopping by!
