About aquatic accord
The Aquatic Accord in perfumery is synonymous with freshness, purity, and the revitalizing essence of water. It encompasses a wide range of scents that evoke the cool, open-air sensation of the ocean, rain, or fresh water. This note is often used to impart a crisp, clean, and subtly ozonic quality to fragrances, making them feel invigorating and uplifting. Aquatic notes are achieved through a combination of synthetic and natural ingredients, designed to mimic the complex, often indescribable scent of water in its various forms. They play a crucial role in creating fragrances that are light, airy, and have a broad appeal, often serving as the backbone of many modern fresh, sporty, or marine-themed perfumes.

- •Synthetic creation of molecules such as Calone
- •Blending of natural ingredients to mimic water scents
Synthetic Alternatives

Perfumer's Tips
Aquatic accords are typically used as top or middle notes to introduce freshness and a sense of openness to a fragrance. They are best used sparingly to avoid overwhelming the composition and are often balanced with citrus, floral, or woody notes to add depth and complexity.
