Scent

Clean, cool, mineral-transparent. The freshness of water itself. Less ozonic than rain, less salty than sea spray, less green than grass dew. The most abstract form of freshness.

The Full Story

Dew drop is a fantasy accord: clean, mineral, cool, transparent. Pure water is odorless, but dew picks up trace volatiles from surfaces and dissolved minerals.

Built from Hedione (transparency), trace Calone (mineral-marine), clean linear musks, and aldehydes for cool-clean lift. The goal is water's ghost.

Functions as a top-note modifier adding freshness and transparent coolness without specific character.
