Costa de Amalfi

The opening is sharp and zesty, green mandarin and lemon peel lifted by the sparkle of yuzu. As that settles, ginger adds warmth and clary sage a herbal, aromatic note. The dry-down turns to mineral notes, amber and cedar, a dry, sun-warmed base that keeps the brightness from fading too quickly and stays clear on the skin.

Rated at eight to ten hours, it is built for spring and summer. Wear it to the office, on a day out or packed for a holiday by the sea. The aromatic heart gives it more character than a simple splash of zest, and the mineral edge keeps it light even in the heat of the afternoon.
