Like a tempting bite from a forbidden paradise, the apple note’s tangy and slightly sour aroma gives the fragrance an undeniably fresh character. It’s uplifting and vivacious at once, and depending on where it is used in the composition, it can either lighten up the scent or give it depth and anchor it in elegance. Thanks to its multifaceted profile, it pairs well with all perfumery notes but shines best when accompanied by spices and other fruity notes for added excitement.

Jasmine sambac blossoms in the heart of fragrances, delicately unravelling in floral shades of green. Orange blossom smooths the note with round, solar-like nuances while fruity facets add an intriguing sweetness. It's a powerful note that’s greener and less animalic than grandiflorum jasmine. Not only is it one of the oldest notes in perfumery, but this queen of flowers has a long history of being a sought-after aphrodisiac. On its own, jasmine sambac possesses a sweet sensual aroma that plays up to its attraction, but when paired with other notes, it transforms into a unique fragrant sensation. It has a slightly green but predominantly honeyed aroma that’s hard to ignore or resist. It pairs nicely with all perfumery notes, however, when in cohort with the other two bewitching white floral notes, the tuberose, and gardenia, it creates a vibrant floral scent with pronounced sultriness. This bold, floral fragrance is perfect for day and nightwear thanks to its narcotic blend.

A must-have in any perfumer’s arsenal, sandalwood forms the base note of countless fragrance compositions. Its milky, suave facets make for a deliciously blendable fixative that has inspired perfumers for millennia. It’s a woody and ambery note with a pervasive warmth that is both velvety-smooth and decadently creamy. Sandalwood’s mystical scent is found everywhere in perfumery. It’s luxurious, milky, tangy, and caramel-sweet aroma infuses a fragrance with deep, exotic accents. Sandalwood can also appear bright and bone-dry, and display its arid, woody side in a gorgeous and austere perfume. Sandalwood’s depth of tone and smooth, polished texture adds elegance, refinement, and mystery to any perfume - it can mimic vanilla’s deliciously sweet, butter-fat heaviness, or fade into cedar’s sharp and bitter feel. It’s also a fantastic and evocative scent on it’s own as well as in a blended fragrance. Sandalwood’s tastefully exotic lusciousness is wearable year-round by either sex, and you could spend a lifetime sampling all the different ways it can be used in perfumery.

Floral, lemony, light and creamy sweet. The magnolia note is ultra lush—adding an intoxicatingly suave facet to floral and citrusy accords. It is delicious on the skin in springtime, emitting a fresh-floral scent tinged with waxy lemon.
