Seaweed

Photo Seaweed :: fragrance ingredients

Seaweed in fragrances is valued for its unique marine and earthy quality. It adds a deep, green, and slightly briny aspect to scent compositions, reminiscent of the ocean floor. In perfumery, the use of seaweed is a nod to its natural and organic essence. It brings an authenticity to marine-themed fragrances, evoking the raw and untamed nature of the sea. Seaweed harmonizes well with other oceanic notes and can complement woody or green accords, providing a robust and grounding base. Its use in fragrances is often to create a sense of depth and complexity, particularly effective in the heart and base notes where its rich, marine character can truly resonate.

Natural or Synthetic?
Natural Seaweed extracts are used for their authentic marine and green notes. However, the intensity and specificity of the scent can vary. Synthetic versions are often utilized to achieve a consistent and pronounced seaweed aroma. These synthetics are crafted to replicate the briny, fresh oceanic qualities of seaweed and are used for their stability and reliability.
