Aquatic

Marine notes smell like the ocean itself—but not literally seawater (which would be unpleasant). Instead, imagine standing on a windswept beach after a storm: that fresh, slightly metallic-mineral quality in the air, mixed with sea spray and the green saltiness of seaweed. There's an ozonic crispness, almost electric, combined with subtle hints of ambroxan (a synthetic that mimics ambergris) and briny, slightly iodine-like undertones. It's clean, airy, and subtly salty—like the smell of coastal air itself distilled into a bottle.

Fresh

Mint smells like a sharp, cool breath of freshness—imagine crushing fresh spearmint leaves between your fingers on a summer afternoon. It's simultaneously sweet and peppery, with a tingling, almost icy sensation that makes your nose feel alert and awake. There's a green, slightly herbal quality beneath the coolness, reminiscent of toothpaste and chewing gum, but far more sophisticated and natural. It's the olfactory equivalent of splashing cold water on your face.
