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.

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.

Known for their sweet, powdery & musky smell, floral notes are the most diverse of them all. Since each scent from this class is varied & specific, it is quite impossible for one person to like all types of floral notes. They are unique & directly represent your tastes.

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.

By the term "green" we refer to notes of snapped leaves and freshly-cut grasses, which exude a piquant quality. Artemisia, calamus, angelica and spikenard (jatamansi) have an intensely herbaceous quality that is so distinctive as to immediately characterize the compositions in which they enter.

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.

The powdery fragrance is reminiscent of talc powder, lipstick and vintage cosmetics. Moreover, the origin of this olfactory sub-family comes directly from rice powder.

From drizzling it over a bowl of warm porridge to adding a heaped teaspoon to a cup of herbal tea, honey serves as a versatile ingredient in our lives. And the same can be said with fragrances; it rarely serves as the star ingredient inside a spritz, but more as an accompaniment that helps a fragrance shine to its full potential. Honey is a warm, sweet note, but with an earthy quality that sees it blending well with amber, woods and vanilla notes.

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.

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.
