Costarela

by Shyamala Maisondieu

Carner Barcelona Costarela is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Shyamala Maisondieu. Costarela opens with Saffron and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Sea Water and Mineral, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Amber, and Ambroxan. Carner Barcelona's Costarela carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive scent for an imagined Mediterranean holiday - some find it an evocative, salty-citrus beach dream, others a synthetic let-down with woeful performance. If you crave that seaside escape and don't mind reapplying, it might just be your summer go-to.

Its fresh, airy nature and poor longevity make it perfectly suited for casual outings, especially in warm weather, or as a light post-sport refresh. It's too subtle for formal settings and might require frequent reapplication for a full day at the office.

About

Costarela opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, quickly joined by the unique, subtly spicy warmth of saffron. The heart unfolds into a fresh, oceanic marine accord, evoking salty sea air and mineralic sand, grounded by a clean, smooth ambroxan. A whisper of cedar provides a soft, woody dry-down, reminiscent of sun-warmed driftwood on a deserted shore.
