Costarela

Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Marine Accord Generic 'ocean' — salt, air and water. Clean and uncomplicated.
- Mineral Accord Wet stone and flint. Cold, dry and modern.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
