SALT THEORY

There's a particular cold that only the sea carries — not the chill of weather, but the chill of distance. Salt Theory begins there: bergamot and lemon cutting sharp across the senses, like spray off a wave breaking too close. Then it turns inward — seaweed, calone, hedione — an accord that doesn't smell like the beach so much as the water itself, vast and indifferent and strangely calming. The dry-down is where it earns its name: musk, ambroxan, cedar, settling into something mineral and quietly powerful, the kind of scent that lingers on a collar long after the person has left the room. Not loud. Just impossible to ignore.
