Blog / Olfactive Trends: Coastal Riche

Sun-kissed, breezy, and irresistibly lush — the Coastal Riche fragrance profile is the olfactive equivalent of golden hour on a remote beach. Think: creamy sunscreen, tropical fruits, and the fresh lift of a salty breeze. It’s not just a scent — it’s a state of mind.

A timeless summer favorite

More than just a seasonal hype, Coastal Riche is what we call a core trend: deeply rooted in consumer desire, with year-round relevance. It taps into the longing for carefree moments, escapism, and indulgence, making it a strong player across categories:

  • Bath & body care
  • Suncare and tanning oils
  • Hand care & deodorants
  • Home fragrances

Did you know? 92% of consumers say that fragrance is a key feature in home and body care products.

What defines the Coastal Riche profile?

At its heart, this fragrance style balances fresh aquatic notes with creamy tropical indulgence. A typical Coastal Riche structure might feature:

Top – Watery accord, Sea salt, Ocean breeze

Heart – Mango, Coconut, Pineapple, Passionfruit

Base – Amberwood, Driftwood, Soft musks

The result? A deliciously immersive scent trail that evokes sunshine, exotic getaways, and feel-good freedom.
