Iodine

What it smells like

Iodine gives a sharp, salty marine note that evokes sea spray and a faint medicinal edge. Its aroma is briny, slightly metallic, and reminiscent of antiseptic solutions, creating a piercing first impression that mellows into an ozonic, oceanic backdrop. Perfumers deploy it in aquatic compositions to impart realism, a clinical edge, or to undercut woody or leather accords with a subtle, cleansing mineral touch.
