Benzoin
A warm, balsamic resin with a soft vanilla-like sweetness. Benzoin has been used in incense and perfumery for centuries, prized for its rich, enveloping depth and fixative properties.
Bergamot
A bright, aromatic citrus prized for its complexity. Bergamot balances sharp freshness with a floral, slightly bitter edge that distinguishes it from other citrus oils.
Black Pepper
A sharp, warm spice that adds immediate energy to a composition. Black pepper brings a dry, woody heat that lifts and sharpens surrounding notes.
Brown Sugar
A warm, caramelised sweetness with molasses depth. Brown sugar adds a cosy, tactile quality to gourmand compositions without the sharpness of white sugar accords.
Cedarwood
A dry, pencil-sharp wood with quiet strength. Cedarwood is one of the oldest materials in perfumery, valued for its clean, composed character and excellent longevity.
Cedarwood Cashmeran
A blended accord that combines the dry structure of cedarwood with the velvety, musky warmth of cashmeran. The result is a modern woody note with a soft, textile-like quality.
Champaca Musk
A rich, exotic floral with a creamy, tea-like character. Champaca musk blends the opulence of champaca flower with a clean musky drydown.
Custard Mochi
A soft, pillowy gourmand accord inspired by Japanese rice cake filled with sweet custard. It evokes warmth, comfort, and quiet indulgence.
Green Apple
A crisp, tart freshness with a juicy, slightly sour edge. Green apple adds youthful energy and transparency to floral and chypre compositions.
Green Tea
A clean, vegetal freshness with a gentle bitterness. Green tea brings a meditative, understated quality to compositions, evoking calm and clarity.
Hinoki
A sacred and meditative wood, prized for its crisp, dry, and subtly smoky aroma. Hinoki evokes the quiet of Japanese cypress forests. It is one of the most revered materials in Japanese perfumery and woodcraft.
Jasmine
The queen of flowers in perfumery. Jasmine is rich, sensual, and complex, with an indolic depth that gives it an almost narcotic quality at higher concentrations.
Labdanum
A dark, leathery resin with a rich, amber-like warmth. Labdanum is one of the oldest perfumery materials, with a complex, slightly animalic character.
Magnolia Leaf
A fresh, clean green with a gentle citrus undertone. Magnolia leaf brings a natural, leafy quality that is more subtle and refined than the flower itself.
Maté
A bitter, herbaceous green with a smoky, roasted quality. Mate brings an earthy energy to compositions, distinct from tea or herbal notes.
Milk Bubble Tea
A playful, creamy gourmand accord inspired by Taiwanese bubble tea. It blends milky sweetness with tea-like depth and tapioca-soft warmth.
Mimosa
A soft, powdery floral with an almond-like sweetness. Mimosa brings a gentle, sun-drenched warmth that suggests the Mediterranean coast in early spring.
Muguet
Lily of the valley. A dewy, green floral with a sparkling freshness. Muguet is one of the most beloved notes in perfumery, impossible to extract naturally and always reconstructed.
Musk
A clean, skin-like warmth that sits close and lingers. Modern musk in perfumery is entirely synthetic and vegan, designed to evoke the warmth of clean skin.
Myrrh
A dark, bittersweet resin with a medicinal, slightly smoky quality. Myrrh is ancient and complex, carrying the weight of thousands of years of ceremonial use.
Nashi Pear
A crisp, juicy fruit with a subtle sweetness and watery transparency. Nashi pear brings a distinctly East Asian freshness to compositions.
Oakmoss
A rich, earthy green with a damp, forest-floor quality. Oakmoss is the defining material of the chypre family and one of perfumery's most characterful ingredients.
Opoponax
A sweet, balsamic resin with a warm, honeyed quality. Opoponax is softer and more approachable than myrrh, with a gentle, incense-like warmth.
Orange Blossom
A luminous, honeyed white floral with a green, slightly indolic depth. Orange blossom carries the warmth of Mediterranean citrus groves at dusk.
Oud
A dark, complex wood formed by fungal infection of Aquilaria trees. Oud is one of the most expensive and prized materials in perfumery, with a deep, smoky, animalic character.
Patchouli
A rich, earthy wood with a distinctive dark, slightly sweet character. Patchouli is one of the most recognisable materials in perfumery and one of the few that improves with age.
Rose
The most celebrated flower in perfumery. Rose offers extraordinary complexity, from fresh and dewy to dark and jammy, depending on the variety and extraction method.
Sage
A dry, aromatic herb with a camphoraceous warmth. Sage brings a clean, purifying quality to compositions, suggesting Mediterranean hillsides and dried herb bundles.
Sandalwood
A creamy, warm wood with a milky softness. Sandalwood is one of the most refined and versatile base notes in perfumery, prized for its ability to blend with almost anything.
Sansho Pepper
A tingling, citrusy Japanese pepper with a numbing, electric quality. Sansho brings a distinctly Japanese spice note that is bright and energising rather than hot.
Star Anise
A warm, sweet spice with a distinctive liquorice-like character. Star anise adds an exotic, slightly medicinal sweetness to dark, oriental compositions.
Timut Pepper
A bright, grapefruit-like pepper from Nepal with a tingling, citrusy character. Timut pepper is more aromatic and less pungent than black pepper, with a distinctive fruit-forward quality.
Tobacco
A rich, warm note that evokes dried tobacco leaf, leather, and a faint honeyed sweetness. Tobacco adds a sophisticated, slightly vintage quality to compositions.
Vanilla
A warm, sweet, universally loved note. Vanilla is far more complex than its reputation suggests, with facets of smoke, leather, and dried fruit alongside its characteristic sweetness.
Vetiver
A deep, earthy root with a clean, slightly smoky character. Vetiver is one of perfumery's most versatile materials, adding both structure and a grounding, contemplative quality.
White Peach
A delicate, juicy fruit with a soft, floral sweetness. White peach is lighter and more refined than yellow peach, with an elegance that suits luxury compositions.
White Tea
A subtle, almost transparent green note with a gentle, hay-like sweetness. White tea is the most delicate of tea notes, suggesting stillness and quiet refinement.
Yuzu
A bright, aromatic Japanese citrus with a complex, almost floral quality. Yuzu is sharper and more nuanced than lemon, with a distinctive green, herbaceous edge.
