Sea Kale
Sea kale is a fresh and green fragrance note with a marine, slightly salty scent profile that carries subtle vegetal and earthy undertones. Its aroma is crisp, natural, and invigorating, adding a unique coastal and botanical quality to perfumes. Sea kale imparts a clean, oceanic character and is often used as a top or middle note to bring freshness and depth to fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with aquatic, green, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, refreshing, and full of seaside charm.
History & Production: Sea kale, also known as Crambe maritima, grows along coastal regions and is celebrated for its hardy, leafy appearance and mild aroma. In perfumery, the scent of sea kale is typically recreated using synthetic accords to capture its blend of green, marine, and slightly earthy qualities. Sea kale is valued for its ability to add a fresh, coastal depth that enhances the natural and revitalizing appeal of fragrances, evoking a sense of the ocean’s breeze and coastal landscapes.
