Sea Foam
Note Profile
About
The aerosol thrown off when a wave breaks. Ozonic and salty with a fizzing, sparkling lift, and it goes fast.
Scent Profile
Sea Foam smells saline, ozonic and effervescent, the spray thrown off a breaking wave. A mineral sparkle sits underneath, like licking sea salt off your lip. An aldehydic fizz gives it its effervescent lift, brighter and more sparkling than a typical marine note. It stays light and airy, gone fast rather than lingering.

Materials That Can Make This Note
Perfumers can build Sea Foam from materials such as:
-
Calone 7-methyl-1,5-benzodioxepin-3-one melon · ozone · marine
Smell words come from published sources.
A given perfume with this note may use some of these, or something else.
Origin
Not a natural extract. Sea foam is a composed accord. Premiere Peau names the build: calone for the ozonic-melon core, Helional for the hay-marine aldehyde, saline modifiers. No manufacturer publishes it as a captive or a defined accord under this name.
Usage in Perfumery
6 Fragrantica entries, none on Parfumo. Fragrantica files it under 'Natural and synthetic, popular and weird'. It is used as an opening effect for coastal freshness. Premiere Peau says the good versions avoid the soapy-clean style of 1990s aquatics and aim for something raw and atmospheric instead.
