ABOUT

Salt in perfumery reads as a crystalline, saline accord—clean, ozonic and slightly metallic, evoking sea spray, wet stone and the subtle savory-iodine tang of skin after a swim rather than a sweet aroma. Employed sparingly as a top or heart accent, salt brightens aquatic and citrus facets, sharpens gourmands and gives florals and woods a realistic, breezy lift; it’s typically constructed from marine extracts, seawater accords and ozonic molecules to impart transparency and contrast.
