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.

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.

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 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.
