Sea salt hits first, sharp and dry, more mineral than ocean. It does not smell like a beach holiday. It smells like walking near cold water with wet stone underfoot. Choya nakh and laminaria arrive quickly and pull the scent into darker territory. Laminaria brings a seaweed weight that feels heavy and slightly damp.
