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.

Green

Provençal clary sage smells like standing in a sun-drenched Mediterranean herb garden after rain. Imagine crushing fresh sage leaves between your fingers—you get that peppery, slightly minty bite—but soften it with a whisper of honey and dried hay. There's an earthy, almost tobacco-like warmth underneath, with faint herbal bitterness reminiscent of dark tea leaves. It's green yet somehow cosy, simultaneously fresh and worn, like a linen shirt dried in summer sunshine.
