Sea breeze (marine)

The sea can't be bottled; marine notes evoke spray, wind and wet air with synthetics.

What it is
An idea of a smell that perfumers build: there is nothing to extract it from.
How perfumers build it
Known in
Cool Water (Davidoff, 1988)
Worth knowing
The smell of the real seaside comes largely from dimethyl sulfide, a gas released by plankton.
