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.

Sweet perfumes are self-evident, and dominate a king's share of the olfactory spectrum. These fragrances, largely built on vanilla, are reminiscent of foody smells, specifically sweets and desserts; ranging from the simpler chocolate, fresh cream and caramel smells to complex or more exotic recipes such as macaroons, crème brulée, the ever popular cupcakes and chewy nougat.

Spicy scents are warm or “hot” scents that make us feel cozy, for example, cinnamon & nutmeg blended perfumes. However, they can also be “cool” or add a splash of freshness with an addition of cardamom or pepper. Spicy notes in a perfume are deep, heady aromas that stir up our sense of smell.

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.

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.

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.

Rum is a gourmand ingredient in perfume, which means it smells good enough to eat (or, in this case, good enough to drink). It injects an irresistible, mouth-watering aroma into fragrances and really appeals to our senses. Rum smells syrupy and bold and is usually coupled with vanilla for a creamy, delicious vibe.

In perfumery, tobacco is anything but smokey and chemical, because it hasn't been smoked yet! Fresh, tobacco is sweet, sometimes floral, and pairs well with spicy, crisp, vanilla, woody, aromatic, and earthy notes.
