Aquatic

Fleur de sel doesn't smell like salt in the literal sense—there's no briny, mineral punch. Instead, it captures something far more ethereal: the clean, crystalline quality of sea air meeting sun-warmed skin. Imagine standing on a Breton coastline at dawn, where salt crystals catch morning light and release a subtle, almost ozonic freshness—slightly peppery, whisper-thin, with a faint saline-mineral undertone. It's like smelling the memory of the ocean rather than the ocean itself, reminiscent of laundry dried in coastal wind.

Citrus

Grapefruit smells like biting into a freshly halved citrus fruit—sharp, juicy, and slightly bitter. Imagine the zesty spray that hits your face when you peel one, mixed with a subtle floral undertone and a touch of mineral freshness. It's brighter and more assertive than lemon, with a woody dryness lurking beneath the initial burst. There's an almost soapy, clean quality that makes it feel modern and energising rather than purely fruity.
