ABOUT

Iodine is sharply medicinal and metallic, a saline-ozonic tang with a faintly sweet, burning tincture quality that conjures sea‑spray on rocky shores, kelp, and antiseptic laboratories. Used sparingly in perfumery, it provides a mineral, marine or antiseptic accent that cuts through florals and gourmands, gives realism to coastal and sea accords, and adds a metallic or medicinal edge to leathery, smoky, or avant‑garde compositions.
