Fog is a visible mass of condensed water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere at or near the Earth’s surface. Walking on a foggy day feels peaceful, dreamlike and tranquil. The atmosphere is marked by dampened sounds, intimate scenery and a sense of slow, quiet isolation. The air can feel heavy or damp on the skin. Walking in the fog feels like being conscious in a dream. To create a note of fog, or rain or dew, perfumers play with your imagination using notes and stories. They use vetiver or patchouli which can smell like wet soil, modern musks that smell like droplets of water on old stone and even some unexpected combinations of naturals and synthetics to create cool, shady and mysterious formulas that make you think of rain, salty breezes, fog and mist.
