Fragrance houses have launched new scents spotlighting a sea salt accord, including Jo Malone's Sea Salt and Bergamot, which is not to be confused with its iconic Wood, Sage and Sea Salt fragrance. Other brands like Creed, Acqua Di Parma, Orebella, Saltair, and The White Company have also captured this summer aroma.
Jo Malone Sea Salt and Bergamot
This new release from Jo Malone is described as a wonderfully neutral and genderless fragrance that is light but carries well throughout the day. The bergamot top note brings a crisp freshness, while the sea salt heart and driftwood base notes ground this scent. Available in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml sizes, priced at £88.
The White Company Sea Salt Eau de Toilette
The White Company's Sea Salt range includes home scents, room sprays, candles and fragrance. The affordable EDT combines sea salt, vetiver and cedarwood for a fresh multi-layered scent, which is warming rather than a cooling aroma. Priced at £30.
Diptyque L'Eau Papier Eau de Toilette
This scent is a gentle, neutral scent that many associate with soft musk aromas. While considered part of the woody family, it boasts top zesty notes of mimosa, a rice steam accord at the heart, and blonde wood base notes to harmonise the scent into a balanced skin scent. Priced at £102.
Orebella Salted Muse Eau de Parfum
Orebella is the brainchild of Bella Hadid, a bodycare and fragrance hybrid containing essential oils and hydrating snow mushroom. The Salted Muse scent is categorised under the 'woody marine' family, with top notes of sea salt and spicy pink pepper, heart notes of olive tree accord, fig and lavender, and base notes of cedarwood, sandalwood and amber. Priced at £95.
Le Monde Gourmand Sel Océan Hair & Body
A hair and body scent ensures longevity throughout the day, especially as you get wafts of the hair mist as your locks blow in the wind. This creation combines notes of pink sea salt, sweet honeysuckle, and muguet for a sweet yet fresh scent that is slightly more feminine and floral. Priced at £32.
Saltair Salt Water Vanilla Body Mist
Saltair has been selling out its bodycare collections for months. The Salt Water Vanilla combines fresh musk notes with a sweet undertone from the vanilla. Pair with a body cream from the brand for a layered scent. Priced at £15.
Creed Virgin Island Water Eau de Parfum
This is a blow-the-budget scent, but one that is worth it because Creed's scents are made to last for hours on end, even after one spray. The multi-layered fragrance blends bergamot, lime and tropical fruits, with coconut, jasmine and white roses, transporting the wearer to a tropical island coast. Priced at £220.
Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Mirto Di Panarea
While a sea salt accord is not included in this fragrance, the top notes of myrtle, basil, Italian lemon and bergamot, combined with heart notes of marine breeze, jasmine, damask rose, undercut by lentisk, juniper, cedarwood and warm amber at the base, create a layered summer scent that is fresh, zesty, slightly warm, but clean and musk-like to resemble salty air. Priced at £153.
