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.

A wintry scent of warmth and wonder. A unique combination of warm, fresh, spicy facets intermingle in a charming scent that is mostly used to add hints of spiciness to complex accords. Its soft, aromatic facets add an air of charm to Eaux de Cologne and Eaux de toilettes for men, as well as a myriad of ambery fragrances. Nutmeg is one of the warmest, coziest spices in perfume. It has all the presence of coriander, saffron, and cardamom, with none of their waxy heat. Instead, nutmeg has a round, dry, welcoming warmth that plays well with other spices and adds depth to bright citrus scents. It’s approachable texture makes it an easy note to identify and enjoy if you’re just now getting into aromatic fragrances. Nutmeg’s crisp yet casual appeal is a fantastic springboard into spicier scents, and it will display its charms best in the fall months, and on into winter.
