Ocean fragrance is among my favorites, especially due to my connection with the beautiful coastline of Brazil where I spent my childhood and teenage years. The beach I remember doesn't have the white sand or crystal clear waters found in many postcards. Instead, it's the natural, subtle hues of the Northern coast of São Paulo that captivate me—the perfect blend of forest, garden, and beach. Dark green from dense rainforests that graciously embrace the coastlines, the unpredictable sea that changes its color from light green to indigo, aquamarine to sage green depending on the light, and the soft, grayish color of fine sand that shifts between silver, beige and pearl.
There is something magical about these muted coastal landscapes. Many consider them therapeutic—immersing the body in mineral-rich water, feeling the rhythmic pulse of waves against sand that tells stories of time, breathing the fresh ocean breeze that carries whispers from ancient forests. Whether sunny, overcast, or raining, this kind of beach becomes a place of deep refuge and contemplation.
The following three coastal scents, in particular, strengthen my bond with my coastal memories as I hand pick them under the label I like to call Coastal Escapes: Clifton Beach, Wild Coast, and Summer Vineyard. Each luxury fragrance captures a different mood of the shore and the mood of the season. Like the Brazilian coastline of my childhood, our home fragrance collection celebrates the sophisticated palette of real coastal living—from cultivated spaces where gardens meet the sea, to wild, untamed shores where nature reigns in all its complex beauty.

Notes of sea salt, coconut, lime, tolu balsam, white flowers and vanilla
Inspired by palm trees lining white-sand shores and the fresh Atlantic mist, this fragrance captures the essence of Cape Town's world-famous beaches.
Clifton Beach embodies those perfect beach days when everything feels effortless. Picture yourself on a pristine stretch of sand where the water is impossibly blue and the breeze carries just the right amount of salt and sweetness. This beach-inspired fragrance captures the essence of vacation dreams—where coconut and lime mingle with the warmth of vanilla, and delicate white flowers bloom just beyond the dunes.
The beauty of this ocean fragrance lies in its balance. The sea salt grounds you in that authentic coastal experience, while the tropical notes of coconut and lime transport you to an endless summer state of mind. It's the summer scent of lazy afternoons spent reading under an umbrella, of sunset walks along the water's edge, of that perfect moment when you realize you're exactly where you need to be.
Perfect for creating a relaxing home atmosphere, Clifton Beach brings the therapeutic calm of coastal living directly into your space.
The Sweet Heart: Wild Coast

Notes of orange blossom, black currant, amaretto, jasmine, iris, coffee, vanilla and patchouli
Not all coastlines are gentle. Some are wild, mysterious, and utterly captivating—like South Africa's Eastern coast, the inspiration behind this fragrance. But Wild Coast reveals the sweet secret of dramatic shores: where the landscape appears untamed and every element tells a story of resilience as nature blooms with unexpected tenderness. Orange blossoms perfume the sea breeze while jasmine climbs wild along coastal paths, creating a sweet coastal fragrance that captivates not with drama, but with intoxicating beauty and indulgent charm.
The floral maritime fragrance of Wild Coast opens like discovering a secret coastal garden—bright orange blossom mingles with the tartness of black currant, like finding wild berries growing beside blooming trees. As this luxury home fragrance unfolds, the sweetness deepens: amaretto brings an almost dessert-like richness, while jasmine adds its lush, enchanting bloom. Iris provides an elegant floral depth, and the subtle coffee note adds warmth like morning light filtering through coastal gardens. Vanilla and patchouli create a soft, embracing base—like the comfort of a sweet refuge where flowers meet the sea.
Wild Coast is for those moments when you crave beauty and indulgence, when you want to breathe in the sweetness of coastal blooms and feel wrapped in nature's most romantic embrace. It's the home fragrance of hidden gardens, of discovering pathways lined with wildflowers that lead to secluded shores where the air itself tastes sweet.
The Cultivated Paradise: Summer Vineyard

Notes of neroli flowers, ylang-ylang, fresh fig leaf, and dark green forest floor
Perhaps the most sophisticated of this coastal collection trio, Summer Vineyard captures those magical places where cultivation meets coastline—where vineyards roll down hillsides, and the air carries both floral sweetness and ocean minerals. This premium fragrance draws inspiration from regions like South Africa's Western Cape, where the ocean's influence creates the perfect climate for grape growing, shaping unique soil characteristics that produce wines of extraordinary depth and character.
This is the coastline of golden hour, where warm breezes carry the scent of blooming trees and sun-warmed earth, where the proximity to water creates that perfect balance of warmth and cooling winds that both vines and flowers crave. Neroli flowers provide a bright, optimistic opening that speaks to Mediterranean afternoons, while ylang-ylang adds an exotic, almost intoxicating floral heart. The fresh fig leaf brings a green, crisp quality that evokes those perfect moments in a coastal garden, and the dark green forest floor grounds the entire composition with earthy depth and complexity—like the rich soils that ocean mists and coastal weather create over time.
Summer Vineyard is the scent of refined coastal living—of wine tastings where ocean breezes mingle with vintage aromas, of garden parties that stretch into evening under stars reflected in nearby waters, of those perfect afternoons when sophistication meets the simple pleasure of salt-touched air.
