Fog
Note Profile
About
Fog is an atmosphere, not a material. Nobody sells a fog absolute, and every source that uses the word builds it from other things: marine and ozonic accords, a mineral wet-stone base, damp soil, and clean musk to make the whole thing diffuse.
Scent Profile
Fog reads as cold, suspended water rather than splash or spray, damp air more than rain. A soft clean musk runs through it, the diffusion that makes fog feel like a blur rather than a shape. A wet-stone, mineral undertone sits underneath, and a cooling edge marks the temperature. It stays soft at the edges rather than sharp.

Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.

Origin
An abstract referent with no raw material behind it. No manufacturer or trade house documents a standard fog accord the way one exists for Calone or for petrichor bases. The evidence comes from products that use fog and mist language rather than from anything named Fog: LAFCO New York's Fog candle copy ('the soft scent of sea mist mixed with a touch of bergamot, cucumber and jasmine', and a second edition with 'seaweed and sea foam anchored in damask rose, blonde woods, and musk'), plus a Substack essay describing 'dry, faintly smoky vetiver mingles with damp soil akin to petrichor'. Sources describe a mineral wet-stone base of Ambroxan and Iso E Super, with white musk. That construction, not an extract, is what the note names.
Usage in Perfumery
Used in marine and mineral builds, where it blurs a composition rather than adding a smell of its own. Measured on 2026-08-24: 9 Fragrantica fragrances, zero Parfumo placements.
