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.

CATEGORY · GREEN & HERBAL

The Green & Herbal fragrance note category encompasses scents that evoke the freshness of nature, often characterized by crisp, leafy, and grassy aromas. These notes can include elements like basil, mint, and green tea, which provide a vibrant, invigorating quality, while also featuring earthy undertones from herbs such as rosemary and thyme. Typically, fragrances in this category are light and refreshing, making them ideal for spring and summer compositions. They often convey a sense of vitality and rejuvenation, reminiscent of freshly cut grass or a dewy garden, and are frequently used to create clean, uplifting scents.
