Ecoya's Sea Salt & Coconut has joined the core collection, which means it is not a summer novelty that disappears in March. It is here to stay, and that changes how you can use it. This is a fragrance you can commit a hallway to.

What it smells like

The opening is salt and solar, with a lift of tropical fruit, so the first impression is air and water rather than anything sweet. The heart is where the coconut arrives, layered through jasmine, ylang-ylang and frangipani, with coconut wax giving a creaminess that sits under the florals rather than on top of them. Underneath sit wood, cedarwood, moss and vanilla, which keeps it warm and stops it reading as a holiday candle.

Coconut fragrance usually lands in one of two places, sunscreen or dessert. This one avoids both, which is why it works in a room styled with linen, pale oak and warm white walls.

How to layer it without overdoing it

The mistake with a fragrance you love is running it everywhere at once. Pick a hierarchy instead. Start on skin, where the wash and lotion do the quiet work. Put the diffuser somewhere you pass rather than sit, so the scent registers as you move through the house. Then leave the candle for the part of the evening you actually want to mark. One scent, three intensities, no single room doing too much.

Sea Salt & Coconut sits alongside the rest of the Ecoya range, and next to our Coastal collection it is close to a perfect match.
