Note

Red Algae

Carried by 1 fragrance in this catalogue

Red Algae smells of sea air and earth and moss, and is almost always printed in the opening.

What it is

It sits on sea air and earth and moss.
Every fragrance here is measured on the same twenty-four axes.
How loud far-carrying
It reads from across a room at ordinary strength.
How long it lasts middling
Still audible through the heart of a wearing.

Fragrances carrying it

The ones this site knows most about come first.
Gold Regatta The Merchant of Venice

Materials that smell like it

Measured the same way this site measures one fragrance against another — by what they are made of, not by what they are called.
