Fragrances intended for night-time usage are very deep, loud, sultry and heavy. The lack of humidity & the fall in temperature makes such perfumes project, revealing notes otherwise impossible to notice in day-time. 

Night

Fragrances intended for day-time usage tend to be light, fresh and airy. The warmth of day paired with the aura of the sun aids in opening up each individual note. Creating a distinctive atmosphere around the wearer.

A combination of sage, rosemary, cumin & other plants. Aromatic fragrances usually possess a grassy-spicy taste often in relation to herbal notes. The best aromatic scents are energetic & have raw character.

Woody perfumes are often unisex as they appeal to both men and women, so it is no surprise that woody notes are also widely popular. This type of note is very versatile, a classic and sophisticated scent that is easy to wear all day and when blended to perfection can be very long-lasting, aromatic and elegant.

Moss delivers a strong earthy & woodsy aroma. Essentially, it's what you might smell if you were walking through a wet forest with damp mossy trunks and stones and lichen-covered root branches along the ground.

A fragrance without roses is almost as unthinkable as a love affair without kisses. Not only are roses the most romantic of flowers to look at:  they’re an absolute cornerstone of perfumery – the most important flower of all, from the point of view of a nose:  sometimes powdery, sometimes woody, musky, myrrh-y, clove-like, sometimes fruity, or just blowsily feminine – but always, intensely romantic.

Smoky notes are the ideal winter warmers. Smoky notes emit the olfactory sensation of a wildfire. Traditionally created with notes of incense, birch tar, tobacco, and various woods, including cedar and cypress, a smoky perfume is your ideal winter fragrance.

As perfumer Alienor Massenet explains, ‘Amber notes are warm, and can evoke liquor. But above all, they give depth and sexiness to a fragrance…’  Such notes have an animalic quality, and is warm, a little powdery – and decidedly erotic.

A musky smell might make you close your eyes and smile, or it might make you leave a room. Either way, it's a very strong and sweet odor that's hard to ignore. Musk is a scent that deer secrete to convince a mate to cuddle with them, and so a musky odor often does the same for humans.
