Sea Moss, often sourced from the species Chondrus crispus, is a type of red algae popularly known as Irish Moss, renowned for its rich nutrient profile and benefits in skincare. In perfumery, Sea Moss is prized for its subtle oceanic scent that captures the essence of the sea with its fresh, clean, and slightly salty aroma. Historically, it has not only been used for nutritional and medicinal purposes but also incorporated into fragrances to evoke the calming and rejuvenating qualities of the ocean. The scent of Sea Moss adds a marine freshness to fragrances, enhancing them with an aquatic and airy note that is both invigorating and soothing. It contributes to the creation of a natural, oceanic atmosphere in fragrance compositions, often paired with other marine notes to amplify the essence of the sea.
Natural or Synthetic?
While Sea Moss can be synthetically replicated, the natural form, extracted directly from the algae, is preferred for its authenticity and depth of scent that truly captures the essence of the ocean.
