An expression of the Mediterranean spirit and the feeling of complete freedom when looking out onto the open seas. A fresh and clean fragrance bringing the Spanish sea breeze to life with a subtle, warm heart. Inspired by the boats docking on the shores of Barcelona, Costarela is the ultimate by-the-seaside scent. Bright and fresh with a warm and earthy base, Costarela is like the delicious scent of salty fresh skin straight out of the ocean. Cheerful and lighthearted, Costarela captures the Mediterranean marine note beautifully.

HOW IT WEARS
Costarela opens with a burst of Bergamot, then the beautiful salty sweet ocean notes take hold and simmer on the skin. We find the longevity of Costarela quite good, generally between 6 to 8 hours. The final scent settles on a warm, smooth and uplifting base of Amber, Ambroxan and a touch of salty, beachy vibes.
LORE LOVES
We love the way that Costarela balances salty, sweet and citrus perfectly. Costarela is like the sexy skin smell of a day spent in the wild and beautiful open ocean.
