ABOUT

Indian Spices is a warm, aromatic accord evoking masala and chai: cool green cardamom, piquant black pepper, clove’s eugenolic warmth, coriander’s citrus-herbal lift, cumin’s human-skin heat, and saffron’s leathery, haylike sheen combine into a sweet-hot, earthy, incense-tinged aura reminiscent of bustling bazaars and kitchens. Perfumers use this note to add radiant warmth, texture, and contrast in ambers, gourmands, woods, leathers, and spicy florals; pepper, cardamom, and coriander brighten the top, while clove, cumin, saffron, and nutmeg deepen the heart and pair beautifully with rose, oud, and sandalwood.
