Top · 0–30 min
cardamom
cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
clary sage
clary sage
Dry, slightly fruity, and intensely herbal, clary sage has a warm, tea-like quality with faintly floral and nutty facets. It's the more sophisticated sibling of regular sage, used in Eau Sauvage and countless classic masculines for its clean, Mediterranean character. Simultaneously natural and refined.
gin
gin
Clean, juniper-forward, and botanically complex, gin adds a fresh, slightly piney, and aromatic spirit quality to fragrances. It reads as simultaneously fresh and sophisticated, evoking craft cocktails and botanically rich compositions. Used in contemporary masculine and herbal fragrances for its clean, complex aromatic quality.
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.
rose
rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
cedar

mandarin orange
mandarin orange
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.
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.
ylang ylang
ylang ylang
An exotic tropical flower with a dense, almost rubbery sweetness that can border on overwhelming, but in careful hands it adds an unmistakable lushness. It has banana-like and slightly medicinal facets that make it distinctive rather than generically pretty. A staple of heady oriental and vintage-style florals.
Base · 3–12 hrs
madagascar vetiver
madagascar vetiver
A vetiver variety grown in Madagascar with a clean, rooty earthiness and a slightly herbal, green freshness. Madagascar vetiver sits between the earthiness of Haitian varieties and the refinement of Java vetiver, making it a versatile choice for woody and fresh compositions. It adds a natural, grounded quality without overwhelming.
oakmoss
oakmoss
The defining ingredient of classic chypre perfumery, damp, forest-floor earthy with a faint bitterness and incredible complexity. Real oakmoss is now heavily restricted by IFRA regulations, which is why vintage chypres smell so different from modern ones. When present, it creates a raw, outdoorsy anchor that no synthetic fully replicates.
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.
sandalwood
sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
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.
