Sea Salt Coast

Earthy aquatic woody bliss with a powdery twist. It is interesting how some salty aquatic fragrances come off as powdery, rather than fresh aquatic, just like J by Jennifer Aniston with the water lily, musk, freesia and the sea notes or Korres Sikinos with the lotus, salt, freesia, musk/sandalwood etc where again the effect is rather powdery and calming. Same here, watery fresh lotus, and powdery salty air on a sandalwood base. Absolutely beautiful, better than I expected it to be. Very interesting, aquatic kinda herbal and earthy, very woody and sweet enough to be comforting. It's kinda like a combo of aromatherapy's black chamomile and a Goose Creek lotion called burlwood and oak which has oak moss, lavender/rosemary and sandalwood which smells green, herbal dark and bittersweet, my favorite thing! From the sprayer Sea Salt Coast has this addicting woody damp earthy smell of that lotion. Here in Sea Salt Coast there is sandalwood too and there is a dark salty almost bitter and very green herbal scent to my nose, but watery too like the rain on the sea. It manages to give the impression of coastal air that's damp after a rainy day on the beach with a cloudy sky and soaked wood in salty sea water - the watery effect from the lotus (the notes are not lily listed on here, but lotus). I'm from a sea village in Greece where it rains often and this scent brought back memories. It can be unisex, the opening was unexpected to me being so woody, it seemed weird at first and then I recalled the burlwood and oak lotion which I always wanted in a mist. It's opening to me is kinda bitter like black chamomile is or herbs, and it's paired with an aquatic woody aroma -slightly herbal, slightly salty but also powdery the way salty notes translate in some fragrances possibly when paired with musk and lily or lotus. The drydown is just like a perfume, sweet, powdery, comforting, but retaining its original earthy freshness. The powdery aspect is what makes it so unique to me. It's not fresh like underwater oasis (which I also like) which is more sour and high pitched without any mellow powdery notes. Water lily springs is also like a beautiful perfume scent with a 90s vibe, but Sea Salt Coast is a new favorite. Lasting power is pretty good but I don't mind spraying it often.

At first I was like “whyyyy do I buy scents at BBW when I am noseblind from too many smells?” I thought this was too masculine and cologny after putting it on. THEN 5 minutes in, I started moving around and a mysterious, familiar, magical scent started floating around me. It took me 10-15 minutes of resniffing myself to place the scent memory. This is a dupe for Gap Close, a long discontinued freshy scent with notes of salt, water notes, and very light citrusy florals that was my “shower in a bottle” savior in the summer, years back. It was marketed to women but totally unisex. I gave it to my mom thinking I’d just get another to find out it was sold out everywhere and I’ve been longing for a perfect dupe ever since. This is it. It’s the freshest fresh that ever freshed!!! I am so happy I made this “mistake!” It’s pure, clean, and the harsh masculine opening only lasts 5 min for me... then she’s Gap Close all the way. What a lovely find. It’s 101 degrees here tomorrow! Just in time.

Very aquatic and clean, the teensiest bit of sweetness to it in my opinion. It can only be smelt if close by but that’s what I love about it. It’s not a scent I can tired of and so perfect for summer. I also think it’s great for layering light sweeter scents over it for a more feminine touch. Another thing is this scent gives me fancy hotel bathroom vibes but not in a bad way more so like a clean, fragrant, sophisticated way which I like a lot in perfumes lol. Anyways LOVE.

I enjoy unisex scents from bath and body works. This one impressed me with the fresh, woody, aquatic notes. The dry down is the best part. I love clean effortless scents & this is definitely one of them. If they'd bring smoked old fashioned back, the 2 would make the perfect cold/warm weather pair. I layer ssc with the body cream & travel hand lotion & that helps longevity.

Nice fresh scent. It reminds me of Adidas Moves Her which is a favorite of mine. SSC is a sporty, sexy, oceanic scent. It's not sunscreeny or floral. Its unisex and I wouldn't say it leans masculine or feminine...its just a nice freshy. It feels as if you're at the ocean. It also is a bit like Cool Waters by Davidoff. I will enjoy this on the hot summer days.
