About ozonic notes
Ozonic notes are a modern addition to perfumery, designed to capture the essence of fresh air and the crispness of a sea breeze. These notes are predominantly synthetic, as the concept they aim to replicate - the smell of clear air, ozone after thunderstorms, or the ocean's breath - cannot be directly extracted from a natural source. Perfumers use ozonic notes to impart a sense of cleanliness, openness, and purity to fragrances, often evoking a sense of being outdoors in a vast, open space. They are particularly prevalent in fresh, aquatic, and sporty compositions, providing an ethereal, airy quality that enhances the perfume's overall freshness.
Synthetic Alternatives
Ozonic notes are primarily synthetic, crafted through chemical processes to mimic the fresh, clean scent of air and the oceanic atmosphere. These compounds are designed to evoke the feeling of open spaces and freshness without direct natural equivalents.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly as a top note to introduce airiness and a modern, fresh character to fragrances. Ozonic notes are best used to complement aquatic, citrus, and green notes, adding a breath of fresh air that lifts the composition.
