Marine & Aquatic Fragrances

Marine and aquatic fragrances: a family born from chemistry

There is no raw material that smells like the sea. The marine family was entirely born from a laboratory discovery: Calone, a molecule synthesized in the 1960s and used extensively from the 1990s onward. Its scent, evoking melon, seaweed, and salty air, created a new sensation in the history of perfume.

Aquatic compositions also use ozonic molecules, which evoke the air after a storm or laundry drying in the wind. These materials provide a luminous transparency, often combined with mineral and saline notes such as ambroxan to create accords of skin and salt.

What characterizes a marine fragrance

• A family born from synthesis, with no natural equivalent
• Calone: melon, seaweed, and salty air
• Ozone molecules for a fresh air effect and transparency
• Frequent accords with citrus and musks
