Sugar Kelp

Sugar kelp is a type of brown seaweed that grows in cold, nutrient-rich waters. It has a sweet, slightly salty, and slightly iodine-like aroma derived from its high mineral content. Sugar kelp is sustainably harvested from the coasts of Northern Europe and North America.

Fragrances featuring sugar kelp evoke a sense of freshness, cleanliness, and connection to nature. They can create a calming, rejuvenating mood well-suited for daytime wear, especially in warmer weather or by the sea. Sugar kelp notes work well in both feminine and masculine fragrances.

Sugar kelp is commonly used as a marine or aquatic note in fragrances. It is often found in the base or heart notes of oceanic, fresh, and clean scents, where it provides a natural, salty-sweet undertone. Perfumers may pair sugar kelp with other marine notes like seaweed, driftwood, or sea salt.
