Peonies bright floral spark brings a note of joy into a composition unlike any other. Peony’s exquisitely soft, green, and airy qualities create an aura of youth, curiosity, and vitality and are just the ticket for anyone looking for anything other than “another grandma” perfume. Peony notes are similar to violets, only without the candy pastille edge, and work best with other light-hearted, sunlit floral notes like rose, orange blossom, and muguet. It’s a floral that’s all about spring and summer, and it’s upbeat, energetic persona is an absolute must to dispel winter’s doldrums.

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.
