Calone
Calone is a synthetic fragrance note known for its fresh, aquatic, and slightly ozonic scent with subtle hints of melon and sea breeze. Its scent profile is crisp, airy, and invigorating, adding a modern and oceanic quality to perfumes. Calone imparts a watery and refreshing character, often used as a top or middle note to create an uplifting and breezy composition. It pairs beautifully with citrus, green, and floral notes, contributing to fragrances that are contemporary, light, and reminiscent of the sea.
History & Production: Calone was first discovered in the 1960s and became popular in the 1980s and 1990s, ushering in a new era of aquatic and marine fragrances. It is produced synthetically and is known for its distinctive ability to evoke the aroma of the ocean and fresh air. Calone’s unique, melon-like and marine qualities made it a key ingredient in many iconic perfumes during its rise, adding a cool, watery freshness that was previously difficult to replicate. Today, Calone continues to be used in modern perfumery to add a touch of breezy, oceanic elegance and freshness to both men’s and women’s fragrances.
