Scent Profile

Ozonic notes evoke the crisp, clean scent of fresh air after rain, with subtle watery and slightly metallic nuances. They are characterized by a sense of spaciousness and transparency, often described as airy or reminiscent of sea breeze. These notes can impart a cooling, invigorating effect that remains consistent throughout their evaporation.

Origin

Ozonic notes are synthetic accords, primarily created using aroma chemicals such as Calone, Aldehyde C-12 MNA, and other marine molecules. These compounds are developed in laboratories, as no natural source directly yields this scent profile. Their invention in the late 20th century expanded the palette of modern perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use ozonic notes mainly in the top and heart of compositions to create a sense of freshness and open space. They are common in aquatic, sporty, and contemporary fragrances, often blended with citrus, florals, or green notes. Ozonic notes can also temper heavier accords, lending lightness and diffusion.
