Fresh

Salty notes smell like the sharp, mineral-laden air of a coastal cliff face after a storm—that clean, slightly briny quality that catches in your nostrils. Imagine the metallic tang of sea spray mixed with ozone and wet stone, or the dry, salty residue left on your skin after swimming in the ocean. It's crisp and slightly savoury, almost peppery at times, with an arid quality reminiscent of salt crystallised on sun-baked rocks. There's nothing sweet about it; instead, it's refreshingly austere and oddly comforting.
