Watery
Watery notes provide a light, airy, and refreshing quality to fragrances, reminiscent of rain, dew, or the coolness of a mountain stream. They add a sense of purity and clarity, enhancing the overall brightness and transparency of a scent. Used primarily as supporting notes, watery elements pair harmoniously with florals, green accords, and citrus for clean, modern compositions that evoke a sense of tranquility and open space.
History & Production: Watery notes are synthetic creations designed to mimic the subtle, scentless quality of water and natural moisture. Pioneered in the 1990s, the use of these notes aligned with the demand for fresh, clean, and minimalist fragrances. Modern aroma molecules such as calone play a significant role in crafting watery accords, allowing perfumers to infuse scents with an impression of water without overpowering other fragrance elements.
