Lemon’s zingy, zesty, sunshine-bright enthusiasm brings a happy, energetic feel to a fragrance. It’s an ideal note for summer wear, especially in the most humid weather. It’s also one of the freshest and most invigorating opening notes in a scent, and it pairs well with light floral and softly spiced fragrances. Lemon makes a fantastic office or workout scent, with it’s brisk acidity and puckery power. It is wearable day or night, but makes its best impression in fresh, light, effervescent perfumes meant for refreshing your senses.

Spice notes in perfume come in a wide range of aromas, temperatures, and moods. From piquant, nose-wrinkling sea salt and pink or black pepper, to the cuddly warmth of patchouli and nutmeg - spices in perfume are fantastic in any composition. A dash of pink pepper alone can make sweet citrus scents crackle with exotic liveliness, or create sensual drama in a demure white floral perfume. Spices are also great extenders for the length and power of a fragrance - their natural fiery personalities keep things interesting far longer than simple citrus or airy floral notes can manage on their own. Spicy perfumes can be worn any time you like, and pair especially well with passing seasons. Think warm, cozy notes like nutmeg, basil, and patchouli for fall, and save the heavier spices like black pepper, gunpowder, and coriander for the winter months. Summer is THE season to break out your gourmand collection with extra spice added - chocolate and sea salt are an ideal beach perfume idea.

Woodsy Notes

A slightly sweet-scented note, green tea evokes a fresh, aromatic and green fragrant trail. It is both refreshing and deeply herbaceous. It is lighter than the black tea note, which emits smokier, woodier dimensions.
