OCEANOIR

Oceanoir is the unisex eau de parfum by Coreterno, the Italian house conceived in Rome in 2015 and launched in New York under the artistic direction of Michelangelo Brancato, signed by perfumer Luca Maffei and launched in 2024. A citrus, woody marine fragrance that captures the golden warmth of a beach at sunset.

The Fragrance

Coreterno describes it as a painting: a golden beach at sunset, with a fresh seaweed accord and a melody of citrus as the backdrop. Oceanoir is conceived exactly like this, fresh and luminous at the opening, then gradually warmer and more enveloping, down to the indelible memory of the last ray of sun sweetly fading into the depths of the endless sea.

How It Evolves on Skin

Oceanoir opens with a fresh accord of seaweed, bitter orange, bergamot and grapefruit: an energetic, briny entrance, like a sea breeze. The heart reveals an unusual, precious bouquet where salt, sea lily, blackcurrant, saffron, davana and bougainvillea intertwine in an accord halfway between floral and marine. The slow, enveloping base brings the earthy accents of vetiver, the softness of sandalwood, the resinous warmth of pine balm and the enveloping presence of amber woods and musk, for a long-lasting finish that smells of the setting sun.

Who We Recommend Oceanoir To

We recommend Oceanoir to those who love aquatic fragrances but are looking for something more multifaceted and original. It is an ideal companion for the warm season, to wear at the beach or in the city, but thanks to its woody, ambery base it also holds up beautifully in spring and autumn. Unisex, it is perfect for those who want a soul that is fresh and warm at the same time.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Oceanoir is proof that a marine fragrance can be anything but ordinary: it has that unexpected detail that makes you stop a moment longer to smell your wrist. And it has the rare quality of remaining recognizable and fascinating even after many wears, without ever becoming tiresome.

FAQ

What does the name Oceanoir mean?
It combines "océan" and "noir", the sea and the mystery of the evening: the name tells of a beach at sunset, when the day gives way to the depths of the endless sea.

Is Oceanoir suitable outside summer?
Yes: despite its fresh, marine opening, the base of vetiver, sandalwood, amber woods and musk makes it surprisingly versatile in autumn and on cooler days too.

How is it different from a classic marine fragrance?
The heart moves away from the usual aquatic accord thanks to saffron, blackcurrant, davana and bougainvillea, which add a completely unexpected spicy, floral component.

Italian perfumer Luca Maffei, author of many of the house's creations, under the artistic direction of Michelangelo Brancato.
