What people who wear Zara Coastal Salty Forest report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community. Created by Fabrice Pellegrin and Coralie Spicher.
βThe opening is clean, fresh and aromatic. You cannot miss the eucalyptus in it. The dry down is absolutely salty, smells like sea, or even seaweed.It's hard to describe the smell. It's not awful, it's just not easy to appreciate it.To be honest, instead of perfume, I would rather have it as toilet spray. By the way, the scented candle is not bad.β
βThe opening and early dry down are strong with the peppery/minty eucalyptus and pine. The Salty marine accord seems to mellow things down and fix the scent as it transitions to dirty closer to the skin. Projection moves from a few feet to about a foot, but I am certainly going to be wearing this one for me. I think itβs unique and wonderful on my skin.β
βI just tested this and it reminded me a bit of Tsar, that I own. If you like that and you like that kind of green, classic style you will like this. Great performance, I washed my hands 2 hours after spraying and it's still there strong, but the price is too high for a Zara, about 66 AUD. Would I buy it at half price at boxing day? Yes and I did. I have Aqua Amara and there is 0 resemblance.β
