Seaweed

Seaweed is a distinctive and fresh fragrance note with a marine, salty, and slightly earthy scent profile that carries subtle green and mineral undertones. Its aroma is crisp, briny, and evocative of the ocean, adding a natural and aquatic quality to perfumes. Seaweed imparts a unique, oceanic character and is often used as a middle or base note to create a refreshing and sophisticated composition. It pairs beautifully with citrus, aquatic, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, breezy, and reminiscent of the sea.

History & Production: Seaweed has been valued for centuries for its use in traditional medicine, skincare, and culinary practices, particularly in coastal regions around the world. In perfumery, the scent of seaweed is typically recreated using synthetic accords or natural extracts combined with other marine notes to replicate its fresh, oceanic aroma. This allows perfumers to capture the essence of the sea without relying on direct harvesting from ocean ecosystems. Seaweed notes are cherished for their ability to evoke the feeling of the ocean, adding a touch of salty, green freshness that enhances the depth and uniqueness of a fragrance, making it feel airy, natural, and revitalizing.
