The Scoop
Sceptre Oceana captures the warm, spiced amber profile of Le Gemme Orom reasonably well, with good saffron and incense representation. However, the clone lacks the sophisticated oud complexity and refined spice balance of the original, resulting in a slightly flatter and more linear performance throughout the wear.
Key Differences
The original features a more prominent oud component with greater depth and complexity, while the clone relies more on tonka bean sweetness. Longevity and sillage are notably weaker on the clone, lasting approximately 4-5 hours versus 7+ hours for the designer version.

What wearers say
“I have Bvlgari Orom and I would say Oceana is a very good alternative.Opening is somewhat medicinal, but after 10 mins you get the mix of : vanilla, woody oud with a resinous powdery and spicy benzoin.The quality isn't the same as Orom, but Oceana is also 10 times cheaper.I would say Oceana is 85-90% similar to Orom.Very bold, dark masculin fragrance foe the colder months.Be aware, the scent dna is quite linear and doesnt change much from opening to dry down.Name is misleading, this has nothing to do with the ocean.”
“Bought it because I couldn't justify the price tag on the orom.It has a really similar vibe, it starts more sweet and finishes more smoky.I personally like it better, it's easier to wear and last the whole day.To those who smelled both, it smells like 70% bvlgary orom, 30% Tom Form Tobacco Vanille.”
“I’m not that into clones of existing fragrances unless there is a reason. I was in a shop full of clones to be honest the original Orom had piqued my interest but never enough to pull the trigger.The smell is pretty close maybe 85-90% performance could be a tad better. Heck for $25 vs retail $530 I pulled the trigger for the few times I feel like reaching for this.Obviously if you’re on a tight budget and need a vanilla fix go for it.”
