I stumbled upon this perfume early today, when I was at a garage sale. I'm a sucker for anything ocean-scented and had no idea what the brand was, or anything about it at all. I decided to test it out on my arm, and I immediately fell in love. I've only been to the seaside once, and this scent took me back to that favorite memory. It's the perfect ocean scent! The bottle was pretty much full, and was only .25 cents! I had to pick it up! Later when I got home, I did some research about it, to find that it's discontinuted. :( I love this! I'm a 90's baby, so I have no reconciliation about this brand whatsoever...it's my first time crossing paths with it. I'm not sure if this brand's around anymore, but I'll definitely be trying to find a dupe or some sorts to it. <3 If you can get your paws on a bottle and love ocean scents, I definitely recommend this one! continued >>

Oh.My.God.
I can't believe I accidentally stumbled upon this review. I had bought a Wallflower refill in...oh, I forget now! Might have been Fresh Linen! and couldn't quite pinpoint the fragrance, but I KNEW it was a beloved, nostalgic scent. THIS IS IT!! Brings me right back to the days of Stiff Stuff hairspray and Farlow jeans ;) Joking aside though, this is a really nice, light, long-lasting scent. An especially nice change after scents such as Exclamation and Navy, haha!

I can't believe I ran into this review. Sea Splash was my all time favorite! (and I thought I was the only one) To this day the scent brings back memories of very happy days spent on Southern California beaches. Maybe we should consider a Naturistics reunion! Ha!

I can't believe I have not reviewed this! This has been my so-called "signature scent" for years, ever since it first came out, I think. I was young, poor, and not really into fragrance. But I loved this, it smelled so fresh and clean, with a sweet, but not syrupy, dry down. I actually tested other "oceany" scents, most much more expensive than this, when I got older and had more money, but none were as good to me. The cologne spray is some cross of citrus/green/ocean...very "fresh out of the shower," which is why I liked it originally. The perfume oil version is less "zesty" out of the bottle, it is more like the floral-sweet dry-down from the start.
I was so sad when they stopped making this a few years back, my sister and I bought up all we could find, and have bought alot from ebay too. Unfortunately, many of the bottles have gone "off": the best bets are the sprays, because they are sealed and protected from oxygen.
Now, lately, I've gotten a "vintage" itch, and it has entered my desire for a new fragrance. I'll never stop loving my Sea Splash, but I guess I've finally gotten restless for something new. :-)

I loved this line of fragrances. I had the Tropics oil and cologne, and the White (river?) Musk spray was a staple of mine in the mid-90's, I went through many bottles of it, it always got me plenty of compliments from cute young guys. Recently I found a Tropics cologne spray at a clearance store and bought it unsniffed because it was like $5 or something. Unfortunately it was a 'turned' bottle, too bad. I should have known! And I couldn't take it back because it was on sale so now it sits as a visual reminder at least of those good old carefree days. I really wish that they would bring these back for a time, as long as they were the original formulations. Update: After trying my bottle one more time, I see that I only had to wait for the sour notes to evaporate - ten minutes after applying, it's back to the same fragrance that I loved. Took me right back. I swear I could even hear Pearl Jam.

Found a small bottle of the fragrance oil on ebay. This stuff smells just as good as I remember from high school! I will love this until the day I die. I don't know how this little drugstore-cosmetic company put together a bunch of citrus fragrances and ended up with the most genuine beach smelling perfume of all time (no other high-end aquatic scent comes close). I really wish they'd bring it back!

Nostalgia rush! I loved Sea Splash in high school, as well as two other Naturistics scents, Botanical and Tropics. I realized I hadn't seen these in the store for a while, so for old time's sake I hit Ebay and found bottles of all three. Mmmmm...just as nice as I remember.
Interestingly, I recently found a dollar store that stocked Naturistics body lotions, body wash, and body spray in all the scents. Still smelled fantastic. Might be worth a look... continued >>

Mmmmm, smells like fresh, clean hair on a summer's day. Only place to find it these days is eBay. I stocked up on this one as well as one of its sisters, Botanical. Can't figure out why they took these scents off the market. Damn!

OH MY JOLLY RANCHERS. This is my ALL TIME favorite smell. Ever. it is so beachy. Whenever I smell it, I'm transported to sunny summer afternoons...seriously. It lasts pretty long on me. Not sure how much it costs, but it can't be too bad because it is Naturistics we are talkin bout here...
