Scent Profile

Aquatic notes evoke the scent of fresh, clean water, often reminiscent of sea breeze, rain, or dew. They feature ozonic, airy, and slightly salty or mineralic nuances, sometimes with subtle green or melon-like facets. These notes tend to remain light and transparent throughout their evolution.

Origin

Aquatic notes are typically created using synthetic aroma chemicals such as Calone, Helional, or other ozonic and marine molecules. These compounds are developed in laboratories, as there are no direct natural sources for the characteristic aquatic scent.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use aquatic notes primarily in the top and heart of compositions to impart freshness and a sense of airiness. They are commonly blended with citrus, florals, or green notes in modern, sporty, or unisex fragrances, and can also temper heavier woods or musks.
