Fresh scent notes

Clean and airy, like line-dried laundry.

Fresh is the scent people mean when they say clean: line-dried laundry, cool air, a newly mopped floor. It comes from aldehydes, light musks and airy, ozonic notes rather than any one plant.

Fresh notes sit at the top and in the heart, and they suit evergreen, herbal and lavender blends. They are a natural fit for linen sprays, laundry-style soaps and spa candles. Fresh notes evaporate quickly, so a musk or a light wood underneath keeps them going.
