Sanctuary North Atlantic Right Whale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. North Atlantic Right Whale opens with Mandarin and Ozonic Notes, settles into a heart of Sea Water and Seaweed, and dries down to a base of Salt, Musk, and Patchouli. Sanctuary's North Atlantic Right Whale carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A salty, briny scent that smells of the sea rather than a beach holiday. The ozonic opening and seaweed give it a cool, wet edge, while patchouli and musk stop it going thin. Distinctive and a bit austere, and best for people who like aquatics with some grit.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It opens with ozonic notes and mandarin, giving a cold, airy lift with a little citrus brightness. At the heart are sea water and seaweed, which make the scent damp, briny and mineral. Salt carries that mood into the base, where patchouli and musk add an earthy, skin-like softness. The result is a cool aquatic scent that stays true to its marine theme without turning sweet.
