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.

- Imaginary Authors Sundrunk EDP - All of the Imaginary Authors have a story that accompanies them. Here is the story of Sundrunk from their website: "When Clementine Cope set foot in snow deeper than her knees, she knew it was for the last time. Leaving the rural Montana home she’d been raised in, with no plans other than to follow the setting sun, she’d wake up every morning and head towards the warmth; dreaming of Dennis Wilson, push pops in the sand, and convertibles. Her journey covers thousands of miles and delivers her first-ever view of the ocean. By the time summer hits, Clem is consumed by an incomprehensible joy. She finally stops traveling when she settles into a ramshackle surf camp with newfound friends from the hills of Topanga, California. Now realizing for the first time her journey is only beginning." With notes of neroli, rhubarb, honeysuckle,
- Obscura Hortus To The Lighthouse Perfume Oil - Give me a beach in October to collect stones on, whispers from the ocean carried by the wind, and a ghostly old lighthouse standing tall on a rocky shore. Inspired by a number of things, the emotion and memories that seem to surround lighthouses, the comforting scent of a chilly beach in autumn, the ocean waves, the hauntings and stories surrounding such places, and one of the perfumer's all-time favorite books, Virginia Woolf’s “To the Lighthouse”. Her story uses it as a symbol of stability, an un-changing constant in the ever changing life of the family who visit it. This unisex fragrance is fresh, reminding one of salty air, driftwood and seaweed washed upon the shore, and a ghostly presence staring out from the lighthouse window. With notes of sea salt, petitgrain, lavender, lime and sage.
