Aqual™
Note Profile
About
A Mane captive for water. Clean, transparent and mineral, with a salty edge. Described as more purely aqueous than Calone and less melon-marine.
Scent Profile
Aquatic-ozonic dominates and is the whole point of the material: crisp, water-like, transparent. Mineral is the second axis and it carries the salty character the Mane perfumer reports. Salt has no facet of its own in this vocabulary, so mineral is standing in for it, and that is an approximation rather than a match. Clean musk is the soft, laundered lift that makes it blend rather than sit on top.
ScentWheel
Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.
Origin
Molecule. A captive of Mane, so no public CAS, no datasheet and no structure. Cecile Matton of Mane names it in the trade press as one of the captives that widened the house's palette of salty notes. Everything else on record about its smell comes from one fragrance glossary.
Usage in Perfumery
4 Fragrantica perfumes and 8 Parfumo placements across 7 brands. Used where a formula needs water without the melon-fruit signature that Calone brings. The source says it softens as it blends, so it reads as a transparency effect rather than a note you can pick out.
