Seaweed

About

Seaweed is a briny, green and mineral accord—wet kelp and iodine tempered by a faint vegetal sweetness and an umami, oceanic bite—that conjures windswept rocks, tidal pools and raw sea air. In perfumery it’s used sparingly to impart authentic marine depth and saline-mineral character to aquatic, chypre, fougère and cologne compositions, typically blended with calone or ozonics, citrus and aldehydes up front and rounded by musk, amber or woody bases to balance its salty, slightly animalic facets.
