Brick is a concept note in perfumery — the olfactory impression of fired clay, mineral dust, and sun-warmed masonry. No one extracts scent from bricks. The accord captures the specific dry, mineral warmth of old urban architecture.

The smell of brick is real and recognizable: petrichor (geosmin) when wet, dry mineral dust when heated, a faint iron-oxide quality from the clay's chemical composition. Old lime mortar adds a chalky, alkaline dimension.

Construction uses geosmin (wet earth/petrichor), mineral-dusty notes (calcium-type, chalky), warm-dry elements (light amber, iris-earth), and possibly a metallic quality. The target is architectural atmosphere — walls, not gardens.

The concept trades on nostalgia and place: summer heat against old walls, city streets after rain, childhood memories of climbing. It belongs to the growing family of 'concrete' and 'asphalt' notes in contemporary niche perfumery.
