The Full Story

Marine Oxyde delivers intense marine-ozonic character: the scent of ocean air. Salty, ozonic, slightly metallic. Distinct from Calone (more watermelon) and from actual seaweed (more sulfurous).

Extremely powerful, must be used at very low concentrations. At correct dosage: realistic sea-breeze effect.

One of the tools for ocean-air effect in masculine and fresh-aquatic fragrances.

Did you know?

The smell of the sea is actually dimethyl sulfide (from phytoplankton), salt aerosols, and ozone from UV on ocean spray. Marine Oxyde approximates this with a single molecule.
