Licorice

Almond

An intoxicatingly sweet scent of many facets: velvety, smoky, balsamic and whisperingly reminiscent of tobacco. Tonka bean is an excellent fixative, extending its milky-smooth facets to mix and meld notes in complex accords. A powerful, sensual scent that is often likened to vanilla. Tonka beans are tiny, shriveled, black seeds from the Tonka tree found in Central and South America. Their slightly sweet, vanillic, and smoky hay scent adds a spicy, gourmand edge to a fragrance. Tonka beans work best in spicy and sweet scents featuring similar notes: clove, vanilla, heliotrope, bitter almonds, labdanum, cinnamon, etc. Their vanilla and hay-like scent is ideal for fall or winter, but usually blends well enough to wear any time you need a little sweet, warm spice to liven up the citrus or wood notes in a fragrance.

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.
