Ozonic perfumes: the transparency of clean air
Ozonic perfumes are characterized by an airy, almost metallic freshness that evokes the air after the rain, the wind at high altitudes, and laundry drying in the sun. They are a modern family, developed thanks to molecules like calone, which revolutionized aquatic perfumery.
Ozonic notes
Calone (marine-coconut accord), ozone accords (air, sky), synthetic aquatic notes, minerals, algae. Often combined with citrus, white musks, and light woods to create bright and minimalist compositions.
When to wear an ozonic fragrance
Perfect for summer, sports, warm days, cool environments. Their lightness makes them ideal for an audience seeking clean, modern fragrances, far from any oriental or gourmand pursuits.
