Marine notes are fragrances that evoke the scent of the sea. They refer to the scents often found in men's fragrances that contain synthetic fragrances such as dimetol and dihydromyrcenol. The ocean actually has the scent of the shore and the sea breeze, but in perfumes, marine notes are refreshing and fresh. Marine notes, such as Davidoff's Cool Water, Bvlgari's Pour Homme, and Issey Miyake's Lord Issey, are an indispensable part of any discussion of men's fragrances.
