Aquatic Fragrance

The aquatic accord rests largely on one synthetic molecule, calone, which smells of melon and sea air and was taken up so widely in the nineteen nineties that an entire decade of fragrance shares a family resemblance because of it. That history decides how the style lands today: clean and sporty to some people, firmly of its period to others. Try it before committing if you hold strong views about that decade.
