Aquatic perfumes

The aquatic accord evokes the wet, cool sensation of sea water, rain, waterfalls or fine spray, giving a fragrance clarity and lightness. It has no single natural source; it is an illusion built entirely by the perfumer.

Calone, a molecule with a watermelon-and-sea-breeze effect, along with helional, floralozone and seaweed notes, forms its core. Aquatic notes usually sit in the top and heart. They pair often with citrus, fresh, aromatic, ozonic and musky accords. Thanks to their cooling effect, aquatic fragrances are a popular choice for summer, hot weather, sports and daytime wear.

The Aquatic accord appears in 9,056 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
