Citrusy-sweet, brightly acidic orange oil adds a happy Vitamin C overload to any fragrance. Orange is also the ultimate team player in perfume: it will go with anything as its many different forms can blend well. Mandarin orange, green mandarin, bitter orange, blood orange, Sicilian orange are all variations on this juicy, joyous note. Sweeter notes like mandarin and blood orange work best with florals and spices, while bitter orange, green mandarin, and Sicilian orange are fantastic with aromatics like basil, nutmeg, etc. Orange’s cheerful energy, no matter if it’s sweet, bitter, or spicy, is wearable year-round without hesitation.

The floral scent of blossoms meets the delicious tang of citrus fruit in an intoxicating celebration of fragrance. Neroli is particularly powerful—as the most fragrant of citrus flowers. It sparkles as a top note with an utter freshness that is mellowed only by its subtle sweetness.

Tarragon is a warm, fusing note belonging to the fougère family. Its aromatic facets are reminiscent of anise or fresh celery—slightly bitter and intensely green. The presence of estragole in tarragon gives it its anise-esque quality. With its slightly sweet and pronounced herbaceous aroma reminiscent of star anise, tarragon’s main role is to accentuate the green, aromatic character in chypre and fresh green fragrances. Its aroma is perfect for those who prefer a deeply rooted, botanical smell.
