Seaweed
The scent of seaweed is a complex tapestry woven from the ocean's edge. It is primarily marine and salty, often possessing a distinct iodine-like tang that can range from sharp and bracing to deep and earthy. There's a prominent green, vegetative quality, reminiscent of damp kelp or algae clinging to rocks, sometimes with a slightly rooty or mineralic undertone. Depending on the specific type and extraction, it can carry subtle hints of damp earth, cool stone, or even a fleeting, almost animalic or fishy nuance, though the latter is often minimized in perfumery extracts. Its texture feels cool, wet, and slightly viscous in the imagination. Intensity varies; it can be a subtle whisper of the coast or a powerful, immersive wave. It typically functions as a heart or base note, providing a unique marine anchor, evolving from a potentially sharp opening into a more grounded, mineralic, or green dry down. Projection is moderate, and longevity is fair, often serving to extend the marine theme of a composition.
