The note unfolds with an immediate, bracing salinity, like a gust of ocean air on a coastal cliff. It possesses a crisp, almost crystalline texture that is simultaneously refreshing and expansive. Initial impressions are bright, airy, and ozonic, often carrying a subtle hint of green melon or cucumber in its synthetic iterations, which lends a watery, slightly sweet transparency. As it evolves, it maintains its freshness, sometimes revealing a delicate mineralic undercurrent, reminiscent of wet stones warmed by the sun, or a clean, subtle suggestion of damp sand. Its intensity is typically moderate, designed to uplift rather than overpower, with a distinct, clean projection that evokes open spaces. Longevity can vary; as a predominant top or heart note, its initial effervescence might fade, but modern fixatives often extend its clean, airy whisper into the base, merging seamlessly with musks or light woods.
