marine

A built accord rather than a single ingredient, usually stacked from calone, ambergris substitutes, and ozonic molecules. Smells like the spray off a wave: salty, mineral, slightly green, with a clean coolness. More open and atmospheric than sea-salt, less sharp than calone alone. Marine notes anchor most "fresh" summer fragrances and modern sport scents. Top-to-heart placement, fading over a few hours into a soft, skin-clean drydown.

Also known as: marine accord, ocean accord, sea breeze
