Spicy Notes

About

Spicy notes form a diverse family—peppery, camphorous, sweet-resinous or balsamic—ranging from sharp black pepper and bright cardamom to warm cinnamon, clove and ginger; they impart a piquant, warming, often exotic character that evokes kitchens, spice markets, leather and fireside comfort. Perfumers employ spicy ingredients as top or heart accents to add zing, depth and sensual warmth, to contrast florals or gourmands, to anchor oriental and woody compositions, and as accord-builders or modifiers that boost radiance and longevity.
