Criste Marine, scientifically known as Crithmum maritimum, often referred to as sea fennel or rock samphire, is a coastal herb known for its resilience and aromatic properties. It has a historical use in cuisine and traditional medicine, but it has also carved out a niche in perfumery due to its crisp, saline, and slightly spicy aroma that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the sea.
In perfumery, Criste Marine brings a breath of fresh, marine air to fragrances, often enhancing aquatic or fresh aromatic compositions. Its unique scent profile contributes a natural freshness that can evoke the sense of a crisp ocean breeze, making it a favored note in both men’s and women’s fragrances aimed at evoking freshness and naturalness.
Natural or Synthetic?
Natural extraction of Criste Marine oil is done through steam distillation but often synthetic equivalents are used due to cost and complexity.
