Ozone as a fragrance note is known for its clean, fresh scent that evokes the feel of crisp air after a thunderstorm. Often referred to as "fresh air" or "sea breeze" in perfumery, it is used to convey a sense of purity and sharpness in fragrances. Ozone is not extracted from any natural source directly; rather, it is a conceptual scent created synthetically to mimic the experience of breathing fresh, clean air. It has a slightly metallic, intensely fresh quality that can vary from being light and airy to cold and brisk. The concept of using ozone in perfumery is relatively modern, emerging as perfumers began to explore more abstract and "non-traditional" ingredients to evoke specific atmospheric conditions or feelings. Ozone notes are particularly prevalent in fragrances designed to reflect freedom, openness, and the natural world, making them common in many aquatic and fresh aromatic fragrances. In fragrance compositions, ozone adds a layer of complexity by providing a clean, ethereal quality that enhances other notes, helping to create a sharp, clear finish that can make a fragrance feel more vibrant and lively. It is particularly effective in conjunction with marine and aquatic notes to enhance the impression of oceanic freshness.
Natural or Synthetic?
It is synthetically created to mimic the scent of clean, fresh air, making natural extraction irrelevant and impractical. This synthetic approach allows for consistent quality and sustainable production.
