Common Aquatic Fragrance Family Notes
 

Common aquatic fragrance notes include marine notes, sea salt, water lily, lotus, cucumber, mineral accords, ozonic notes, driftwood and clean musk. These notes can make a fragrance feel crisp, airy, sporty or softly skin-like.

The Origin of the Aquatic Fragrance Family
 

Aquatic fragrances became a major part of modern perfumery in the late 20th century, when fresh, watery scents started to define a new kind of clean fragrance. Unlike floral or woody families, aquatic scents are often built with accords that recreate the idea of water, air and sea spray. Today, they are popular for warm weather, holidays and everyday freshness.
