Green Leaves

Like a tempting bite from a forbidden paradise, the apple note’s tangy and slightly sour aroma gives the fragrance an undeniably fresh character. It’s uplifting and vivacious at once, and depending on where it is used in the composition, it can either lighten up the scent or give it depth and anchor it in elegance. Thanks to its multifaceted profile, it pairs well with all perfumery notes but shines best when accompanied by spices and other fruity notes for added excitement.

Unfurling in the heart of fragrances with a soft, watery effect, the lotus flower is known for adding an aquatic freshness to accords. A light, floral and airy note. Much like the flower itself, this scent floats on water. Lotus flowers have been used in perfume in Southeast Asia for many centuries. Their soft, heady, fruity, and powdery scent adds an exotic tinge to delicate floral fragrances. Lotus usually appears as a background note in many perfumes, and it blends best with other soft floral/fruity notes such as osmanthus, lily, sunflower, and peony. Lotus can also have a pale green and dewy texture, making it an unusual and appealing choice for green scents. It’s soft, watery complexion is ideal for summer and spring weather.

Alluring, sensual, enticing… Musk is well-known for its aphrodisiac powers. Perfumers play with a myriad of synthetic musks to fix, blend and mold ingredients in a number of intoxicating accords. These notes are clean and transparent—lending a velvety, skinny effect. Musk notes in perfume used to be processed from the actual musk glands of animals to impart a gamey, warm, and sensual texture. But this practice is illegal in modern times, and nowadays musk notes in fragrance are entirely synthetic. Musk’s tangy aroma can range from sheer, metallic and bright to very animalic and even as intimate as the scent of warm, damp, human skin. Musk adds a sultry, sensual feel to demure feminine scents, as well as making masculine notes like tobacco and leather vividly expressive in cologne. For perfume fans who enjoy the alluring scent of warm, clean, skin - musk is a must-have note in fragrance.
