An entrancing note of suave, floral facets. Ylang-ylang blends beautifully in floral bouquets—adding an ethereal nuance that is both spicy and quintessentially modern. A generous dose of salicylates gives ylang-ylang its exotic solar scent, and its molecular structure is intriguingly similar to both jasmine and tuberose.

This spicy top note adds a layered vibrancy to complex accords. As a first impression, cardamom feels fresh and airy, but soon shifts to reveal a warmth that is both sweet and woody. Often likened to the aromatic effects of citrus notes, cardamom can be revitalizing with its zestful kick. Cardamom is particularly well suited to woody, chypre and ambery fragrance families.

Artemisia refers to a large genus of herbaceous, aromatic plants belonging to the daisy family Asteraceae. Popular notes include wormwood, tarragon, mugwort (“moxa”) and sagebrush. Commonly used in fougère accords, Artemisia emphasizes zesty facets while exemplifying the sweet, fruity inflections of a fragrance. Artemisia contrasts perfectly alongside notes of patchouli.

Silky smooth and velvety soft, opoponax is a divine fixative—seamlessly blending notes and lengthening their effect. Adding a weighty warmth to the base of fragrances, opoponax permeates with an undeniable complexity of balsamic softness.
