Perfume Parlour Coastal Zest is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Coastal Zest opens with Lemon, Orange, Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Sea Water, Vetiver, and Pine, and dries down to a base of Salt, Musk, and Amber. Perfume Parlour's Coastal Zest carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Coastal Zest chases Mancera French Riviera, the elevated fresh-aquatic. The citrus-and-sea-salt brightness with its creamy tiare-floral heart comes through, but Perfume Parlour reads thinner and less textured, missing some of the Mancera's sophisticated marine-and-suncream complexity.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mancera French Riviera is a sophisticated aromatic-aquatic - an effervescent citrus and ginger opening over a marine sea-salt accord, creamy tiare flower and pine, settling into sea salt, white musk and amber. It famously marries a fresh sea-spray note with a sunscreen-like creaminess. Coastal Zest recreates that elevated beach signature. It opens bright and zesty with orange, lemon and tangerine, lifted by ginger and a peppery spark, then turns marine and floral through sea notes, creamy tiare, pine and a touch of vetiver and mimosa. The base lands on salty sea salt, white musk and soft amber. Perfume Parlour captures the citrus-and-salt freshness, but its version reads thinner and a little more linear, losing some of the Mancera's textured marine-and-suncream depth and projecting with less authority. Longevity is moderate. A fresh, uplifting citrus-aquatic for warm-weather casual, daily and active wear.
