Marine
The note evokes the crisp, invigorating essence of the open sea. It is predominantly fresh, cool, and airy, often carrying a distinct salty, mineralic quality reminiscent of sea spray hitting the shore. Its texture can feel effervescent and expansive, like a deep breath of ocean air. Depending on its specific interpretation, it can range from a clean, ozonic transparency to a more complex profile with subtle hints of wet sand, cool stone, or even a faint, clean algal undertone. It typically behaves as a top or heart note, providing an immediate burst of freshness and luminosity, though some iterations can extend into the mid-phase, lending a persistent aquatic sheen to the composition. Its projection is often moderate to strong, creating an aura of spaciousness and cleanliness, while its longevity can vary, usually fading gracefully as the deeper notes emerge.
