The note of "Sea Spray" is an olfactory illusion, a masterful recreation of the brisk, effervescent air near a turbulent coastline. It manifests as intensely fresh, cool, and distinctly salty, with a clean, almost metallic or mineralic crispness. There's an aldehydic lift that gives it an expansive, airy quality, often evoking a sense of vast openness. Its texture is like fine mist on the skin – cool and slightly damp, yet utterly clean. While primarily a top or heart note, offering an initial burst of exhilarating freshness and transparency, its longevity can vary; well-crafted versions can retain a subtle, briny skin-scent for hours. It possesses a moderate to strong initial projection, cutting through other notes with its unique clarity, then softening into a more intimate aura. It can sometimes carry a faint, nuanced hint of wet sand, cool stone, or even a very subtle, clean algae-like undertone, preventing it from being merely abstract fresh air.
