Try: WOODY-ORIENTAL blends, with a tantalizing liaison of rich oriental notes with potent scents of patchouli and sandalwood. Flowers and spices play second string to dominant sandalwood or patchouli notes, balanced by a rich oriental influence.
Try: GREEN scents, which capture the sharp scent of fresh-cut grass and violet leaves. Deeper scents with galbanum accords give an air of formality, while lighter notes retain the pure freshness of green!
Try: MARINE fragrances that are reminiscent of the scent of soft sea breezes. Early water notes from the 1990s capture the ozonic aroma of wet air after a thunderstorm. Today, water notes are used as an accent to enliven florals, orientals and woody scents.
Try: SOFTFLORALS, where the marriage of sparkling aldehydes and delicate flowers creates a family of soft, often powdery, abstract florals, muted by the powdery accents of iris and vanilla to create a fragrance that is both soft and flowery.
Try: SOFTORIENTALS, which use incense to add sensual overtones to fragrant flowers, spices and amber. The base notes of a modern soft oriental are not as sweet or heavy as a true oriental, resulting in a distinctly softer scent.
Try: ORIENTAL fragrances, the exotic rulers of fragrance. Sensual and often heavy, oriental scents blend resins, flowers, vanillas and musks with refreshing citrus, green or fruity top notes.
Try: CLASSICWOODY scents, which are dominated by harmonies of cedar, patchouli, pine, sandalwood and vetiver; new palettes of exotic wood notes have brought new life to this fragrance family.
Try: DRYWOODS or “LEATHER” fragrances, where mossy fragrances take on a drier character through the addition of cedar, tobacco and burnt wood notes. Fresh citrus notes play an important role in most dry woods fragrances, lightening their deep, animalistic heart notes.
