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.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler.
- Calyx Driftwinds Perfume Oil - A beach and sand fragrance of shifting air and restless earth. Bergamot opens with a dry brightness, giving way to the warm, mineral echo of sun-warmed stone and salt. Driftwood and dried seaweed form the grounding heart — woody, briny, smoky, yet not fishy, not the ocean, but the quiet residue of tides long past. At its edges, a trace of choya nakh drifts like scorched seashells and salt, haunting but restrained. Neither rooted nor fleeting, Driftwinds is unclaimed, unbound — a scent of motion, balance, and horizon. It features notes of sandalwood, choya nakh, vetiver and bergamot.
- Colornoise Beachy Perfume - The sound of waves on sand. The feel of your toes first touching the ocean foam. Designed to capture the mood, essence, and smell of a perfect, sunny summer day at the beach. With notes of sun-warmed sand, bright orange blossom, sunscreen and lavender musk.
- Demeter Kelp Cologne – Inspired by hiking through and outside the Presidio, off San Francisco Bay, Kelp is a beautiful, blue-green fragrance adjusted between the elements of kelp and the elements of the sea.
- Haus of Gloi Driftwood EDP - Sun bleached driftwood, dry black musk, warm sand, dune grasses and a damp oceanic breeze.
- Moonlight Cove Finery Seafoam Perfume Oil - Cool, salt water over the rocks dotted with barnacles; watching the water in its deep, blue-green hue forming a ridge of a wave moving toward the beach and changing to an arc of translucent, sparkling green with a crest of white as it crashes into the many towers and valleys of stone, swirling and swelling. A crisp, herbaceous-green, mossy, slightly salty and faintly earthy scent of frothy sea foam. With notes of sea water, herbaceous sweet sage, lavender, pale amber, sandalwood, citrus, green melon, hints of mint and earthy woods.
- The Little Book Eater Beach Bonfire Perfume Oil - Inspired by the beach bonfire, the symbolic opening and closing of summer. Made with the scents of sea salt, lime blossom, clove bud, driftwood, sandalwood and cedar. Fresh with a hint of smoke and sunset and ocean air.
