dew

In perfumery, "dew" describes a fresh, moist, slightly green, and subtle metallic-ozonic nuance, evoking the scent of wet foliage in the early morning. This accord is typically created using synthetic molecules that mimic the atmospheric impression of moisture on plants, rather than a single natural raw material. Its role is to impart a transparent, ethereal freshness, often serving as a top note to brighten floral, green, or aquatic compositions.
