Mundaka
by Zara
Mundaka is a bold, fresh aquatic scent with a distinctive aromatic and marine character, built around bergamot and vetiver. It opens with a crisp citrus and ozonic freshness, reminiscent of ocean air and clean, soapy musk, evolving into a deeper earthy and woody base. While some find it uniquely refreshing and memorable, others note a shift toward a slightly generic or earthy-sour drydown that lacks refinement, resembling a masculine shower gel or even pickles. The fragrance performs well for its price point—projecting moderately for about an hour and lasting 3 to 5 hours, making it ideal for summer wear, gym sessions, or office use, though not suited for night or formal occasions. Its soft sillage and clean character make it unobtrusive yet noticeable, fitting for casual or active settings.
