Océan Indigo Rituals, released in 2018, is marketed as a masculine fragrance, belonging to the citrus family. A fragrance from the Oriental Essences collection, in eau de parfum.
It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. It stays on the skin for a good while — longevity is firmly in the moderate range. The home of this fragrance is the Netherlands. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Océan Indigo unfolds as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Rituals is evident from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps the right density and pace of development.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a ozonic-salty mood: Aquatic accord, Cardamom, Mandarin and musk. In this format 4 notes work as one voice, creating mineral transparency that feels seamless.
The inner phases are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Aquatic, Citrus, Musc and Spicy without random overlap. The profile is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In wear duration Middle indicates a stable lasting impression.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Mineral, Spicy, Citrus and Musk. At family level the fragrance belongs to Citrus.
Overall Océan Indigo holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
