Aquatic Notes in perfumery are a complex blend of synthetic compounds, created to emulate the fresh, clean, and invigorating scent of water and marine environments. These notes are not derived from a specific natural source but are crafted through the art of perfumery to bring to mind the openness and purity of oceans, rivers, and rain. The creation of Aquatic Notes marked a significant advancement in modern perfumery. It allowed perfumers to capture the essence of water, a previously elusive scent, and incorporate it into fragrances. These notes are often described as having a certain transparency and lightness, with a slightly ozonic or sea-breeze quality. Aquatic Notes have become a mainstay in a wide range of fragrances, especially in those aimed at evoking freshness, cleanliness, and the natural world. They blend well with various other notes, adding a dimension of crispness and freshness that can enhance both floral and citrus accords, making them versatile in unisex and gender-neutral fragrances.

Natural or Synthetic?
Aquatic Notes are a result of innovative perfumery techniques involving synthetic chemistry. These notes are crafted to evoke the scent of water, which cannot be naturally extracted or distilled into an essential oil. The creation process involves blending different synthetic compounds to achieve a fresh, ozonic, and water-like aroma, capturing the essence of marine freshness in a bottle.
