Zara's always been great at one thing: value. They frequently collaborate with big names in the industry like Jo Malone. Of course, this perfume doesn't smell like a $200 niche fragrance, but it surely smells a little above its category. In the opening, I can notice apple (which is very prominent) and spices. As it dries down, it turns into a marine fragrance, but not the most generic one; this is more like Le Sel d'Issey, capturing a more earthy/salty shoreline scent, not the Mediterranean sea. The end of the dry-down is woody. I can't name specific notes; I'm not an expert, but these are the profiles/vibes I got from it. I like that it's not the most generic, boring, citrusy marine scent, but I also wouldn't say it's very unique—somewhere in between. It's not offensive, but also not crowd-pleasing (which is a good thing in my opinion). As for the performance, it performs really well for its price, especially for a summer fragrance. It doesn't last too long, though. Overall: Scent: 7/10 Projection: 9/10 Longevity: 8/10

So, wrong notes are metioned here again as the notes onthe box for this one are : Ginger - Airy Breeze - Sandalwood. Edit : Fragrantica corrected the notes
