Del Mar

I’ve been chasing that exact Del Mar cliffside vibe in a bottle for years, and the iced pomelo with blonde woods nails it without turning sugary. Sprayed it on before a beach walk and could swear the salt and citrus hung around for a solid six hours on my skin.

I was nervous that coconut water would make this too sweet, but the iced pomelo keeps it crisp and the blonde woods dry it down beautifully. It genuinely smells like the ocean breeze here, not like a generic sunscreen. Lasts about four hours on my skin, which is fine for a fresh scent.

The lemon zest hits first—sharp and clean—then the coconut water softens it into something that genuinely smells like a foggy coastal morning. I keep catching whiffs of the blonde woods hours later, and it’s the only fragrance I’ve tried that doesn’t turn sickly sweet on my skin.
