Ocean
The note unfolds with an exhilarating rush, an immediate surge of bracing, salty air, sharp and utterly clean, like a deep inhalation at the ocean's edge. It is intensely ozonic, with a pronounced marine transparency that feels cool and expansive. Initial impressions are often crisp, slightly metallic, and profoundly watery, evoking the invigorating chill of a breaking wave. As it evolves, a subtle mineralic quality emerges, sometimes with a whisper of iodine or a faint, sweet brininess reminiscent of fresh seaweed drying on sun-warmed rocks. It carries an inherent luminosity, never heavy, always airy and diffused. Projection is typically strong and wide-ranging in its initial burst, settling into a clean, shimmering aura. Its longevity is moderate, often acting as a bridge between vibrant top notes and a subtle, musky or woody base, ensuring the freshness lingers without becoming cloying. It is predominantly a heart-note, albeit one with a powerful top-note 'flash'.
