Perfumes with Salt

Salt smells mineral, dry and faintly watery with a warm, skin-like edge, recalling sea salt, seawater drying on skin and coastal air; since salt itself is odourless, it is purely an accord.

The effect is usually built from amber-like molecules such as Ambroxan, Calone, seaweed extracts and mineral-toned synthetics. The result can feel both cool and warm, like sea spray on sun-heated sand. Salt sits mainly in the heart of a fragrance. It pairs with marine notes, citrus, sage, vetiver, caramel, vanilla and musks, and adds savoury contrast to gourmands.

Salt appears in 897 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
