Mariel by H2O Plus Eau de Parfum Ocean Surf Glamour Print Ad 1994 1990s

Mariel by H2O Plus wants a fragrance to feel like diving into the surf, and this 1994 ad sells that rush with a wet-haired woman arching back into the waves. The headline "Unexpected, Exhilarating" promises energy and freedom, while a sea-glass teal bottle with a tiny shell anchors the lower corner. Bare shoulders and arms catch the golden light in a pose that reads as sensual minimalism of the era. This listing is for the original paper ad only, not the fragrance itself.

• A dark open-knit tank and tousled strands give a barely-there beach mood
• Department store names printed at the foot show where shoppers could find it
• Eau de Parfum is printed under the flask in cool aqua lettering
• Suits displays themed around seaside summers, perfume advertising and 1990s beauty
• Measures approximately: 8" x 11"
