Oceanic ozone, salt corroded metal, fresh sea breeze, dried seaweed, lime leaves, bergamot, spiced bay rum, vetiver, and lavender infused amber.
Smell of high-tide and of newcut fir,
Smell of low-tide, fish, weed!—I swear
I love every blessed smell that's there—
For, aeons ago when the sea began,
My soul was the soul of a sailorman.
