Lightning

The note doesn't possess a tangible, singular scent in the way a rose or sandalwood does; rather, it is an olfactory *impression*, a sudden rush of intensely sharp, cool, and metallic air, almost like electricity itself crackling through the atmosphere. It begins with an immediate, almost shocking clarity – a high-pitched, piercing freshness that is both clean and slightly acrid. There's an unmistakable ozonic quality, a keen, almost antiseptic crispness reminiscent of the air immediately after a powerful electrical discharge. Beneath this initial jolt, one might perceive subtle mineralic nuances, a hint of damp earth, or wet stone (petrichor) if paired with rain accords, though intrinsically, it's drier and more volatile. Its texture is ethereal, almost gaseous, yet it projects with surprising intensity, a sudden flash of scent that then quickly dissipates, leaving behind a ghost of ionized air. It functions predominantly as a top note, designed for a dramatic, impactful opening, setting an immediate and invigorating tone before receding to allow the heart and base to unfurl.
