Dossier has built a reputation for delivering accessible fragrances that don't compromise on quality or creativity. Their 2024 release, Caramelized Lavender & Hazelnut, continues this approach with an unexpected combination that bridges gourmand and herbal territory.

The fragrance opens with hazelnut's nutty warmth before hazelnut transitions into a heart of lavender, violet, and orange. The lavender provides a classic herbal anchor while violet adds subtle powdery undertones and orange brings citric brightness. The base deepens considerably with patchouli, ambroxan, and vetiver creating an earthy, woody foundation that grounds the sweeter notes above. The overall composition sits firmly in the warm, gourmand space but leans woody and slightly spicy rather than purely dessert-focused.

This is best suited for those who appreciate fragrant complexity over straightforward sweetness. It works well as a cooler-weather option when you want something comforting but with enough herbal and woody depth to feel sophisticated. Those drawn to The Homesteader, The Sensualist, and The Mystic profiles will likely find it appealing.

Hazelnut
Hazelnut
Warm, nutty, and slightly sweet, hazelnut has a roasted, earthy quality with a gentle creaminess that makes it feel luxurious. It adds depth to gourmand fragrances without the heaviness of chocolate or the sharpness of coffee. Often used alongside vanilla and praline to build complex, sophisticated sweet bases.
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.
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
Orange
Orange
Warm, round, and familiar, sweet orange is the most approachable of the citrus family. In perfumery it reads as sunlit and optimistic, with a gentle warmth that stops short of heaviness. Orange is frequently used to smooth and soften citrus openings, adding a natural sweetness that makes compositions feel immediately welcoming.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
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.
Suede
Suede
Soft, slightly powdery, and skin-warm, suede accord in perfumery captures the scent of fine-grained leather without the raw animal quality of heavy leather notes. It's simultaneously woody and musky, creating a second-skin warmth that feels intimate and tactile. The note that makes certain fragrances feel like cashmere.
