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.

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. It is one of the oldest beauty secrets in the world. This type of powder is usually obtained from ground grains of rice, comes from Asia and was highly prized by geishas.

Earthy. This is something about walking in nature, seeing and smelling the trees, pine, cut wood, that balances and centers us. These fragrance oils contain aromas of cedar, wood, amber, musks, oakmoss, sandalwood, patchouli, balsam and other resins.

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.

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 Greek mythology, Iris was a gods’ messenger – a beautiful goddess riding on a rainbow, who travels with the speed of wind all around the world, deep into the sea and even in the underworld. Iris is both floral and woody, with buttery accents and evocative notes of violet. Some even find it has a dry and strawy aspect. The powdery and sensual notes of iris are found in the most sought after perfumes.

A deep and rich gourmand note, rather bitter than sweet. When cocoa beans were just brought to Spain from America, chocolate was considered a drink that provoked lust. It was prepared with mixed spices or corn puree and only the richest people could afford it, while many priests deemed it the devil's potion aimed at pushing people into sin. When used right, Chocolate has the innate potential to do the same in perfumes too.

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.
