🌊 The Inspiration: Salt on Skin
Swimming in the Mediterranean, drying off on the rocks, eating a citrus fruit. Chinotto Sea Salt is a mineral, aquatic scent that captures the essence of a day at the beach. It is savory, fresh, and elemental.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Ocean Spray
Chinotto meets a hyper-realistic Sea Salt accord. It is not the smell of "blue" aquatic cologne, but of real salt water and iodine. Hints of Myrtle and Juniper add a coastal scrub vibe. The base is Ambergris, smelling of sun-warmed skin.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Coast
-
Sea Salt Accord: A proprietary blend mimicking sodium chloride and minerals.
-
Myrtle Oil: A classic Mediterranean shrub with a spicy-camphoraceous scent.
-
Ambroxan: Replicates the salty, musky scent of ambergris.
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Freedom
Salty scents trigger the brain's association with holidays and open spaces. Chinotto Sea Salt reduces stress and creates a feeling of escape.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"This is the smell of my favorite holiday in Cinque Terre. It's salty, woody, and citrusy. It makes me feel like I'm on a boat."
