Myrtle

A green tonic that blends blissfully in woody, chypre and fougère accords. It's warm and invigorating, with an aromatic scent that brightens and invigorates herbaceous compositions. A surprisingly present scent of camphorous facets.

Anise, or star anise, is a star-shaped, Asian spice with an aroma that smells like black licorice blended with black pepper. This smoky, sharp spice adds an edgy kick to florals and citrus perfumes, and its exotic appeal works with almost any style. If you are a fan of blackcurrant, black pepper, licoriee, leather or smoky accents in your scents, the anise note is worth exploring.

A must-have in any perfumer’s arsenal, sandalwood forms the base note of countless fragrance compositions. Its milky, suave facets make for a deliciously blendable fixative that has inspired perfumers for millennia. It’s a woody and ambery note with a pervasive warmth that is both velvety-smooth and decadently creamy. Sandalwood’s mystical scent is found everywhere in perfumery. It’s luxurious, milky, tangy, and caramel-sweet aroma infuses a fragrance with deep, exotic accents. Sandalwood can also appear bright and bone-dry, and display its arid, woody side in a gorgeous and austere perfume. Sandalwood’s depth of tone and smooth, polished texture adds elegance, refinement, and mystery to any perfume - it can mimic vanilla’s deliciously sweet, butter-fat heaviness, or fade into cedar’s sharp and bitter feel. It’s also a fantastic and evocative scent on it’s own as well as in a blended fragrance. Sandalwood’s tastefully exotic lusciousness is wearable year-round by either sex, and you could spend a lifetime sampling all the different ways it can be used in perfumery.
