Morska zvezda

Briny, iodine-rich, faintly animalic marine note. Starfish in perfumery carries tidal pools and sun-dried shore — not seafood, but the mineral-organic smell of the littoral zone.

Detaljno
Zanimljivosti
The bromophenol compounds responsible for the characteristic smell of marine organisms (including starfish) are produced by algae and bioaccumulate up the food chain — the same molecules that make fresh fish smell of the sea rather than of fish.
Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
No commercial extraction exists for starfish. The note is a reconstructed accord using seaweed absolute, synthetic marine molecules, and animalic modifiers. Dried starfish specimens could theoretically be solvent-extracted but this is not practiced in perfumery.

- Nota
- Starfish is a marine/ozonic accord in perfumery, not a single distilled material. Evokes salty, iodic, aquatic facets. Typically built from calone (CAS 28940-11-6), Helional, marine musks, and algae-derived notes. No standardized physical data for the accord.
U parfemima
Starfish is a conceptual marine-animalic note. Reconstructed from seaweed absolute (iodine, bromophenols), Calone and marine oxides (oceanic freshness), ambergris-type materials (warm mineral-animalic base), and trace sulfurous compounds. Functions as a niche modifier in realistic maritime accords, tidal compositions, and mineral-marine fragrances. Provides animalic depth to marine families.
