The Main Event Episode 78 Ocean Fragrances

written by Michael Grant Jul 18, 2010

It's summertime and everyone is looking for the perfect ocean scent to captivate them and bring them into the moment of this

exhilarating

season. Ocean fragrances can vary from salty, to beach grass to watery with so many blends in between.

The Main Event Episode 78 Ocean Fragrances

Starting with the most salty,

Antousa

Okeanos

, for us, is the epitome of an ocean, summertime scent. It brings me to the sandy beaches of Cape Cod where the spray from the crashing surf fills the air. The air is thick and moist, blending the scent of sand and dune grass. The

Anthousa

Okeanos

diffuser has an elegant summer look, with a speckled decanter and fragrance oil tinted soft blue. The

Okeanos

Candle is filled in a hand-blown tumbler that looks like sea glass.

Another salty, ocean scent is the Del Mar candle by

Voluspa

. Del Mar blends crisp kelp and sweet ocean air. The

Voluspa

Del Mar candle burns beautifully, and very fragrantly. I love the decanter - it makes a perfect stash jar for

earrings

and other goodies after the candle is done. The

Voluspa

Del Mar candle

The

Thymes

Naia

candle is a soft, elegant summer scent. It's more watery than salty with water lily,

cyclamen

, citrus notes and

lychee

. This is a delicate blend and a great hostess gift with is more

general

appeal.

Naia

is also available in a room spray and bath & body products.

Seablue

Sky is a new fragrance by

Votivo

. Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to burn this candle yet. My hunch is that the true meaning of this scent comes alive when it's burning to distinguish it from the many other water-oriented scents by

Votivo

.

Seablue

Sky is a blend of fresh air, lavender and amber. The cold throw for

Votivo

Seablue

Sky definitely comes across as the most salty, ocean scented candle they offer.

White Ocean Sands is a popular fragrance by

Votivo

. This scent was created to evoke the ambiance of a bonfire on the beach after a hot summer day. It is definitely more smokey and woodsy than

Seablue

Sky, but this is another one that we need to burn to get the true essence.

Antica

Farmacista

Acqua

is a watery fragrance, blending sweet musk and marine algae. It reminds us a lot of a linen scent or Washed Cotton by K. Hall. It's very fresh and clean, but not much like the ocean.

Antica

Farmacista

Acqua

is available in a

demi

and petite diffuser.

Earlier this year K. Hall launched Shore-Line fragrance and it's an instant hit. Shore-Line has soothing watery, spa-like notes with a very clean and fresh finish. This water scent comes across more like cologne than ocean. K. Hall Shore-Line is available in a diffuser, diffuser refill and candle.

The Main Event Episode 78 Ocean Fragrances

We

recently

tried the

Lafco

Bathroom Marine candle and loved it. It is a delicate, summery scent and reminds us of the iced water with floating cucumber slices that you get at a spa. This cooling scent instantly soothes you on a hot, steamy day. The 4" x 4", hand-blown vase is stunning with the most

gorgeous

soft, blue hue that glows while the candle is burning. The

Lafco

Bathroom Marine candle

mesmerizes

you with it's beautiful look and delightful scent.

The

Trapp

Ocean Marine candle has oceanic, aquatic notes with a hint of

cassis

. This I can't say this smells like the ocean, but it does smell a lot like water but with more character. The

cassis

gives it a bit of a kick with it's crisp note. For a flat, tap water like scent, try the

Trapp

Water candle.

I need to try the Shelter Island (Ocean) candle by Jonathan Adler. It is a blend of fresh ocean notes, sea moss, sand grains, sage and fir balsam. It's cold throw is very

oceany

and salty and we can

definitely

pick up the grassy and sandy notes. I'm curious with how the sage and fir balsam interact with the summery notes while burning. Jonathan Adler candles tend to be highly fragrant.

The Main Event Episode 78 Ocean Fragrances

Aquiesse

Shoreline is a newer candle for us and it's been a huge hit. It is a summery scent with a strong floral accord, not overly ocean. We love the way

Aquiesse

candles burn - very clean and even. This scent was very fragrant and lovely.

The

Pacifica

candle by Archipelago

Botanicals

blends

ylang

-

ylang

, cedar and sea greens. It's a

romantic

summer scent - delicate and pure. It reminds me of when I was young, enjoying the beach a night when the heat of the sun is gone, the day relaxes, and the beach grass sways in the dunes while salty air swirls around me.

Recently

Voluspa

launched their new Maison

Blanc

Collection which includes their

Laguna

fragrance.

Voluspa

Laguna

has been an instant addiction for many. This summer scent has a strong floral accord. Freesia blends with warm air and sand to create a magical summer scent.

Laguna

is available in an adorable 2-wick tin, giant 12oz

candlepot

that last 100 hours, a ceramic candle that everyone has been raving about and a room & body spray.

Voluspa

candles burn cleanly and beautifully. This scent is very fragrant.

The last three fragrances are candles that have ocean names or ocean descriptions but don't smell like the ocean at all.

Vie

Luxe

Cote

D'Azur

is a

beautiful

, sweet floral fragrance but not at all like the ocean. The

watery lily adds a nice water accord but freesia, pink rose and french verbena dominate this candle.

The Ocean candle by Red Flower blends mangrove, bay lavender, beach morning glory and bay laurel leaf. For us, this scent comes across as

eucalyptus

. It reminds me of when I was a kid and would cover my face in

Noxzema

to take the sting out of a brutal sunburn. Red Flower Ocean has that same cooling, soothing effect, but doesn't smell at all like the ocean or water. Ocean burns beautifully as the colorful wax

liquefies

while

burning

and it is available in a 6oz and 1.5oz candle.

The Le

Cherche

Midi 01 candle doesn't have an ocean name, but the description reads "It brings to life a tranquil ocean-side retreat where swaying beach grass, sun-dried driftwood, and summer herbs stir thoughts of sunset walks with family and friends." This candle blends lemon,

bergamot

, lavender and night blooming jasmine to create the most

gorgeous

cologne

-like fragrance. Le

Cherche

Midi is an amazing and addicting scent that works well in any season, not just summer.

Hope you find the perfect ocean scent for you to languish in during the hot, steamy days of summer.
