Wild Ocean

Indeed, in the world of scents, aquatic fragrances are all the rage. Is it for their sheer freshness? Or is it rather for their evocation of wide open spaces? Either way, men are captivated by them and keep asking for more. As it happens, the house of Courrèges has just created a new, infinitely maritime fragrance. This new juice is called Wild Ocean and offers an olfactory cruise. So pack your bags and let us set sail.

Wild Ocean, Courrèges's maritime evocation

Wild Ocean is a fragrance that, as its name suggests, plunges us into the heart of the ocean. This juice embodies on its own the entire fascination that the house of Courrèges holds for the marine world. Indeed, this is not the first time the brand has been involved in a project tied to the maritime world. In 2016, Courrèges made a great deal of noise by building a prestigious and avant-garde yacht named White Ocean. There is no doubt that the fragrance Wild Ocean is a nod to this earlier creation by Courrèges. Moreover, it falls exactly within the same register, opting for a clean and modern style, without lacking in personality or elegance. These are also the same codes found on the bottle of Wild Ocean. While Courrèges had accustomed us to cylindrical bottles, this time the shape of Wild Ocean is far more masculine and square. Its bottle forms a thick, refined and virile glass cube. Only a few ripples appear in relief on its front face. The whole is finished in a universally appealing blue. Unmistakably, we are more than ever immersed in the ocean. The name of this new fragrance appears on the right side of the bottle, in capital letters shading from white to gray.

Courrèges's oceanic fragrant recipe

On the scent side too, Courrèges has played the maritime card from start to finish. Its composition, rather simple, is built around three main accords. Wild Ocean opens with a sea water accord. This gives the juice a burst of energy paired with a sensation of freshness and a certain salinity. Then, Courrèges's ship seems to make a stop on a fine sandy beach. The heart of Wild Ocean is sandier. It warms up, like white sand under the sun's glare, yet still cooled by the water that washes over it from time to time. Finally, the base of Wild Ocean becomes more intriguing. This fragrance ends with ambroxan, a very rich and complex synthetic molecule, whose odor resembles that of ambergris, a substance with an animalic odor expelled by the sperm whale, taking on a more musky, salty and sun-kissed character on contact with natural elements. Wild Ocean by Courrèges is an incredible journey across the seas and beyond the horizon.
