Woody notes encompass an entire olfactory family of deep, warm scents. They are resinous and decadently aromatic, and often derive from dried leaves or roots. Popular woody notes include the creamy, sensual scent of sandalwood, the invigorating fragrance of pine or the smoky aroma of vetiver. Woody notes are popular all year round, but are particularly suited to the colder months for their earthy, rich facets.

Smoked Woods

Inspired by the traditional accords of Ancient Arabian perfumers, the amber accord exalts ambery fragrances rooted in sweet notes of vanilla or cistus labdanum. Amber accords may oscillate between powdery fresh scents and sweet, enveloping notes. An almost animalistic warmth meets sensuality in a bold and tenacious accord. For those who love sweet and spicy scents. The amber note is an accord made from benzoin, vanilla, labdanum, styrax, and other sweetly resinous single notes. It’s not quite sweet, and not quite spicy, but something in between. Amber gives perfume a warm, sweet, sensual feel that fans of both spicy and gourmand styles will love.

Alluring, sensual, enticing… Musk is well-known for its aphrodisiac powers. Perfumers play with a myriad of synthetic musks to fix, blend and mold ingredients in a number of intoxicating accords. These notes are clean and transparent—lending a velvety, skinny effect. Musk notes in perfume used to be processed from the actual musk glands of animals to impart a gamey, warm, and sensual texture. But this practice is illegal in modern times, and nowadays musk notes in fragrance are entirely synthetic. Musk’s tangy aroma can range from sheer, metallic and bright to very animalic and even as intimate as the scent of warm, damp, human skin. Musk adds a sultry, sensual feel to demure feminine scents, as well as making masculine notes like tobacco and leather vividly expressive in cologne. For perfume fans who enjoy the alluring scent of warm, clean, skin - musk is a must-have note in fragrance.
