Coastal Breeze

Notes & Nuances

Coastal Breeze kicks off with a bracing citrus cocktail – a zesty orange peel, a bright lemon cleaner tang, and a candied citron sweetness. It evokes those fizzy citrus vitamin tablets. The heart deviates from the original, leaning more heavily into a vegetal earthiness. The carrot seed gives it a raw, garden-like impression, while the basil adds an herbaceous, green edge that feels slightly out of place. The apricot is present, but muted, adding a subtle jam-like density. The base is where it diverges most noticeably. Instead of a clean, musky finish, Coastal Breeze introduces a sticky sweetness of dates mixed with the milky, green aroma of unripe figs. The ambrette provides a gentle muskiness, but it's overshadowed by the gourmand sweetness.

Conclusion

This scent is best suited for casual daytime wear during spring or early fall. I would wear it on a picnic or when running errands. It's too sweet for formal settings or situations where you want to make a serious impression. It would make a decent gym scent when applied in moderation.

Projection Power

Coastal Breeze offers moderate performance. On my skin, it lasts around 5-6 hours with projection extending to about an arm's length for the first hour before settling closer to the skin. I tested it during a warm afternoon walk and found it performed adequately in the heat, though the sweet base became a bit cloying.
