Does salt have a scent? Pure salt is a crystal of inorganic sodium chloride and hardly volatilizes in the air, so it has no smell. However, table salt in daily life contains some impurities, giving it a “saltiness.” Sea salt in Western cuisine is more complex, with a violet aroma in addition to its salty taste. It’s not difficult for perfumers to create fragrances that connect taste and smell. They have crafted salt-scented perfumes that offer a unique and refreshing experience. This intriguing theme is definitely not to be missed! Today, Xiaoxiang has compiled a list of 10 fascinating salt perfumes. Let’s take a look.
