Costarela

Costarela from Carner Barcelona, composed by Shyamala Maisondieu in 2016, is a fresh woody amber fragrance inspired by the Mediterranean coast. It combines sea air with sun-warmed woods and a touch of saffron.

The notes are listed together. Bergamot gives a bright citrus opening. Sea water and sea notes create a cool, salty and watery freshness, while sand adds a warm, mineral dryness. Saffron contributes a leathery, slightly spicy warmth. Cedar and Virginia cedar form a dry, clean woody core, and ambroxan and amber a smooth, mineral and gently warm base.

The profile points to a relaxed, sunny scent. Worn by anyone, it would suit summer days, holidays and casual weekends, for someone who likes salty, woody fragrances that evoke the seaside without being sweet or overly aquatic. Its warm amber base gives it more body than a simple splash.
