Inspired by the traditional accords of Ancient Arabian perfumers, the amber accord exalts ambery fragrances rooted in sweet notes of vanilla or cistus labdanum. Amber accords may oscillate between powdery fresh scents and sweet, enveloping notes. An almost animalistic warmth meets sensuality in a bold and tenacious accord. For those who love sweet and spicy scents. The amber note is an accord made from benzoin, vanilla, labdanum, styrax, and other sweetly resinous single notes. It’s not quite sweet, and not quite spicy, but something in between. Amber gives perfume a warm, sweet, sensual feel that fans of both spicy and gourmand styles will love.

Woody notes encompass an entire olfactory family of deep, warm scents. They are resinous and decadently aromatic, and often derive from dried leaves or roots. Popular woody notes include the creamy, sensual scent of sandalwood, the invigorating fragrance of pine or the smoky aroma of vetiver. Woody notes are popular all year round, but are particularly suited to the colder months for their earthy, rich facets.

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.

Zesty and sour yet ever-refreshing: lemon is a note that packs a punch. Typically used as a tangy top note, lemon brings a vibrant, cheerful quality to accords (most notably in eau de cologne). A bright scent—trapping sweet, sparkling sunshine in a bottle. Lemon essence is predominantly crafted in California, Argentina, Sicily, Brazil and Spain. Its essence is procured through cold expression of the peel, while the juice of the fruit is used to produce citric acid for food products.
