How does Costarela perform throughout the day?+−
While the scent profile is highly regarded, its longevity is generally considered moderate to poor. It tends to project well for the first hour before sitting very close to the skin, making it a better choice for short outings or situations where a subtle scent is preferred.
Is this fragrance suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Yes, its clean, citrusy, and airy nature makes it very office-friendly. Because it lacks heavy projection and stays intimate, it is unlikely to overwhelm colleagues, fitting well into a business-casual or professional setting.
Can both men and women wear this scent?+−
Costarela is firmly unisex. It balances bright citrus and floral-leaning saffron with rugged cedar and salty marine notes, making it equally wearable for anyone who enjoys a fresh, coastal aesthetic.
How does the "sand" accord actually smell?+−
The sand note provides a dry, mineralic, and slightly dusty quality to the fragrance. It works with the ambroxan to ground the watery marine notes, preventing the fragrance from becoming too "slushy" or purely aquatic.
