Ocean Wave

Ocean Wave, released by the Italian brand Rephase in 2019, is mainly woody, with smaller fresh and aromatic touches.

The note list is short and clean. Ozonic notes open it with an airy, fresh and slightly watery quality, the impression of sea air on a breezy day, which is where the fresh side comes from. Rosemary adds a green, aromatic and herbal note that sharpens the freshness. The base is woody: cedar gives a dry, clean and pencil-shaving woodiness, guaiac wood a smoky, slightly sweet and resinous softness, and patchouli an earthy, slightly dark depth that grounds the composition.

Despite the marine name, the scent leans more towards woods than water, with the ozonic notes giving lift rather than a full aquatic effect. The profile suggests spring and summer, daytime and the office, as well as casual occasions. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes fresh, airy woods with a herbal touch, and who prefers a clean, understated scent to anything sweet or heavy.
