About sea salt
Sea Salt as a fragrance note captures the invigorating and clean scent of the ocean breeze, often evoking memories of beach vacations and walks along the shore. It is characterized by its fresh, mineral, and slightly aquatic nuances, bringing a sense of openness and purity to compositions. Sea Salt adds a unique dimension to fragrances, offering a bridge between aquatic and fresh spicy notes, and is adept at enhancing the airy and ozonic qualities in a perfume. In perfumery, it is used not just for its olfactory profile but also for its ability to evoke feelings of calmness, serenity, and the vastness of the ocean. It plays a crucial role in creating or enhancing marine and aquatic themes, often serving as a grounding element that ties other notes together to recreate the complex scent of the sea.

Perfumer's Tips
Sea Salt is typically used in moderation within a fragrance composition to avoid overpowering the blend. It works best as an accent note, enhancing the freshness and adding a mineral quality to the overall scent. It is particularly effective in summer fragrances, aquatic themes, and unisex or masculine perfumes, where its crispness can shine.
