The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 and crafted by perfumers Coralie Spicher and Fabrice Pellegrin, Coastal Salty Forest by Zara is a fragrance that captures the essence of a coastal forest. The composition opens with a fresh spicy accord, adding an invigorating edge to the woody and aromatic notes that follow. The marine and salty accords bring a sense of the ocean breeze into the mix, while camphor lends an unexpected freshness that keeps the scent intriguing throughout the day.

How to wear it

This fragrance is best applied directly to pulse points for maximum impact. The fresh spicy top notes are brief but intense, so one or two sprays should suffice. It's ideal for cooler weather when you want a scent that feels both refreshing and grounding.
