We've got some exciting news to share from MAIR. We're currently working on a brand new fragrance that's inspired by water. In our research and surveys, we found out that many women aren't quite familiar with the different types of water fragrances. Though we aren't ready to share the name or the inspiration behind this scent, we did want to inform you all about the three families of scents in the water category.

Exploring the Differences in Water Scents: 

Aquatic, Oceanic, and Marine When it comes to fragrances, water-inspired scents offer a refreshing and invigorating experience. But what exactly distinguishes aquatic, oceanic, and marine scents from each other? Let’s dive into the nuances of these popular fragrance categories. 

Aquatic Scents

Aquatic scents are often described as clean, fresh, and reminiscent of water in general. They evoke the sensation of being near a pristine body of water, such as a lake or river. These fragrances typically feature notes like water lily, lotus, cucumber, and other light, watery elements. Aquatic scents are perfect for those who seek a fresh and unobtrusive fragrance that embodies the essence of water without the salty or marine elements. 

Oceanic Scents

Oceanic scents bring to mind the vast and open sea. These fragrances are more complex and often include salty and breezy notes that mimic the aroma of the ocean air. Think of standing on a cliffside overlooking the ocean, with waves crashing below and a salty breeze blowing. Key notes in oceanic scents include seaweed, salt, and sometimes even ambergris, which add depth and a hint of mystery to the fragrance. 

Marine Scents

Marine scents focus specifically on the coastal and maritime environment. They often include a combination of salty, green, and even slightly metallic notes to evoke the feeling of being by the seaside. Marine fragrances can also include algae, driftwood, and other elements that conjure images of a bustling harbor or a serene beach. These scents are ideal for those who love the invigorating and slightly bracing aroma of the sea. 

Choosing the Right Water Scent for You 

When selecting a water-inspired fragrance, consider what type of watery environment you are most drawn to. If you prefer a light, fresh, and unobtrusive scent, an aquatic fragrance might be your best choice. For those who enjoy the salty, breezy, and expansive aroma of the sea, oceanic scents are perfect. And if you love the bracing and invigorating smell of the coast, a marine fragrance will suit you well.

Water scents offer a diverse range of experiences, from the clean and fresh to the salty and invigorating. Understanding the differences between aquatic, oceanic, and marine scents can help you choose the perfect fragrance to match your personal preferences and evoke your favorite watery environment.
