Cognac

Red Fruits
Red Fruits
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
Honey
Honey
Sweet, waxy, and faintly animalic, honey in perfumery has an almost skin-like quality, intimate and slightly raw. It's related to beeswax in the natural world, and both add a warmth that reads as close and personal. Honey bridges floral and oriental families, adding natural sweetness with a slightly dark edge.
Licorice
Licorice
Sweet, anise-like, and slightly medicinal, licorice adds a distinctive herbal sweetness that is completely its own. It's simultaneously comforting and slightly challenging, with a dark, slightly bitter edge beneath its sweetness. Found in orientals, gourmands, and some unexpected aromatic compositions where it adds an unusual twist.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit
Bittersweet and juicy with a faintly metallic zing that sets it apart from sweeter citrus notes. Grapefruit is uniquely energising, it reads as clean and modern rather than traditionally 'citrusy.' It pairs effortlessly with musks, making it a staple of office-safe, all-day fragrances.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Myrrh
Myrrh
Deep, bittersweet, and slightly medicinal, myrrh is a resin with a complex, almost anise-like quality that sets it apart from frankincense. It adds a dark, almost sacred quality to oriental fragrances and is more challenging and assertive than its biblical companion. A note that rewards patience.
Hay
Hay
Warm, sweet, and slightly smoky, the scent of dried grass and summer fields. Hay in perfumery reads as coumarin-adjacent: warm, powdery, and nostalgic, with an honest, agricultural quality that grounds sweeter notes. It adds the smell of the countryside to orientals and woods, making them feel warmer and more organic.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Night Blooming Jasmine

Base · 3–12 hrs
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Peru Balsam
Peru Balsam
Leather
Leather
One of perfumery's most complex accords, smoky, animalic, and slightly woody, evoking tanned hide, polished saddles, or fine gloves depending on the recipe. Leather adds sophistication and edge simultaneously, and is deeply associated with masculinity in Western perfumery (though the best leather fragrances transcend gender entirely).
Red Amber
Red Amber
Benzoin
Benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
