Salt
Salt notes suggest a dry mineral or sea-spray association rather than a strong standalone smell. The effect can make woods, musks and amber feel weathered or skin-like.

They give contrast to sweet fruit, vanilla and creamy notes and connect marine freshness with a drier base.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
