The composition of aquatic notes
Aquatic notes combine with fruits, flowers, citrus, aromatics and woods. Besides the calone, in vogue since the 1990s, other synthetic molecules (melonal, floralozone, algae, scentenal ...) bring an added iodine freshness to the composition. In addition to these synthetic raw materials, creators also use natural raw materials, such as blue cypress, lotus and marine christ, to obtain aquatic notes. Very volatile, one finds the aquatic chords in notes of head.
The first fragrances with aquatic notes
Invented in 1966, calone was first used in perfumery in 1988. It was Yves Tanguy for "New West" of Aramis who created the first aquatic perfume. In a small blue bottle, he wanted to capture the spirit of the West Coast. Surprising and innovative with its iodized accents, "New West" did not know how to find its public in Europe. Then in 1992, Issey Miyake's "Water of Issey" marks a turning point in the history of perfumery. The composition evokes "the smell of water on the skin of a woman" meets an international success and opens the way to many perfumes with marine notes.
