ABOUT

Snow as a perfume note evokes a chilled, airy accord: clean, soft and crystalline with ozonic/watery facets, bright aldehydic or metallic highlights, and a faint powdery or mineral chill that suggests fresh snowfall, alpine air and the hush of winter landscapes. Perfumers use snow accords as top-note brighteners or modifiers to impart a frosted clarity to florals, citrus, woods, leather or gourmand blends, typically constructed from aldehydes and ozonic molecules with minty or eucalyptus lifts and subtle mineral/metallic accents to simulate the cold, sparkling effect.
