Deep Blue Sea

Deep Blue Sea by Zara offers a clean, aquatic aroma with a strong marine presence that stands out most in the opening. It opens with bergamot and fresh citrus notes, which transition into a sea-tinged core of aromatic and woody accords, giving it a layered yet linear profile. The drydown brings in a subtle musky, woody note reminiscent of L'Eau Majeure d'Issey, creating a lasting cool freshness. Despite its moderate sillage and short longevity, the fragrance performs well for a summer wear—lasting up to six hours on fabric and projecting pleasantly without being overwhelming. It's ideal for daytime use, particularly in warm weather, and has a strong identity that resembles Bvlgari Aqva Homme Marine more than Acqua di Gio or Lisboa—making it a compelling, affordable alternative to higher-end marine scents.
