Aquatic

Brine smells like the sea itself—but not in the way you might expect. It's not fishy or unpleasantly salty. Instead, imagine standing on a windswept rocky coastline after a storm, where salt spray mingles with mineral air and seaweed. There's a crisp, slightly metallic quality, reminiscent of licking your lip after ocean swimming. It's ozonic and clean, with an almost numbing freshness, like breathing in through your nose on a bitterly cold seaside morning. It feels more atmospheric than ingredient.
