A shore is the dynamic margin of land where it meets a large body of water, such as an ocean, sea or lake. Shores vary drastically in their geological makeup falling mainly into sandy shores, rocky shores and marshes and estuaries. In perfumery, the beach and shore cover a wide range of notes because of the wide variety of shoreland – rugged, peaceful, ocean, lake, etc. The notes used to describe a shore are typically grouped into marine, aquatic and salty accords. They recreate the atmosphere of the coast using a blend of ozonic, mineral and botanical notes that evoke sea spray, driftwood, wet sand, seaweed and fresh coastal air. An example of notes would be Calone (a synthetic molecule that gives a watery, transparent and slightly melon-like freshness), sea salt, seaweed absolute, sea fennel, oakmoss, sun-warmed sands, dune grasses and driftwood. Beach notes in fragrances include sand, saltwater, coconut, rum, citrus and vanilla.
