Ice
The note is not a literal scent of frozen water, but rather an abstract, conceptual olfactory impression of extreme coldness. It manifests as a piercingly crisp, sharp, and often metallic sensation, imbued with an ethereal transparency. It evokes the feeling of frigid air, clean and unburdened, sometimes with a subtle, almost mineralic or ozonic hum. Its texture is smooth yet bracing, like polished steel or a freshly opened freezer. The intensity is immediate and striking, a high-pitched olfactory 'shiver' that cuts through other notes. Its projection is typically expansive but ephemeral, a shimmering, cool veil that quickly dissipates, making it almost exclusively a top note. It is designed to create an immediate, bracing impact, a fleeting moment of invigorating chill before other notes emerge.
