Fragrance Notesai estimated
Top · 0–30 min
bergamot
bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
lemon
lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
pink pepper
pink pepper
Fruity, slightly rosy, and gently spiced, pink pepper is softer and more aromatic than black pepper. It occupies a unique space between citrus, floral, and spice families, which makes it exceptionally versatile. You'll find it in contemporary fresh fragrances where it adds lift and personality without aggression.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
lavender
lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
geranium
geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
violet leaf
violet leaf
Base · 3–12 hrs
ambroxan
ambroxan
The molecule responsible for the warm, skin-amplifying quality of many modern fragrances, ambroxan (Ambrox) is a synthetic compound derived from ambergris that creates an almost invisible warmth. It doesn't smell strongly on its own but makes everything around it feel richer, closer, and more like skin. The secret weapon of countless contemporary bestsellers.
vetiver
vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
