Sweet and strong, gourmand and bitter, soft, spicy and warm, with some animalic facets. Vanilla is one of the most popular and sought-after notes in perfume. It’s simple, spicy, sweetness is a powerful aphrodisiac, and it blends wonderfully with any other note. The range of vanilla accents is deep, ranging from light, filigreed frosting to plush, heavy, smoky syrup. It’s natural spiciness allows vanilla to pair well with not only other sweet, dessert notes but also exotic additions like suede, patchouli, yuzu, or litchee fruit, gardenia and tuberose. What’s best about vanilla perfumes is that they are always appropriate no matter the season, and transition instantly from light day wear to ultra-sensual late-night looks. Vanilla perfumes are a must in any collection, and the variety available will allow years of happy sampling. For those seeking the finest, spiciest style in vanilla scent - start by trying Madagascar vanilla first.

Velvety and soft, the peach note adds a juicy, soft note to both fine and functional compositions. Its scent is pervasive but mellow: adding a comfortable, peachy-smooth duality to floral bouquets and fruity compositions. Peach is the ultimate in flirty fruit notes. It’s texture is both youthful and deeply sensual, and it’s sweet, sun-drenched juiciness is ideal for summer scents and bold, sexy fragrances. It’s richness is best in a blend rather than as a major note, and its tempting, sugary confidence goes with pears, oranges, pineapple, mint, leather, tobacco, incense, patchouli, and vanilla. Peach is also ideal for light florals, giving their softness a come-hither allure. Peach goes with fall and summer best, as its juicy sweetness elevates sugary summer scents as well as spicy fall selections.
