THE FRAGRANCE NOTEBOOK
Understanding fragrance notes
Putting olfactory impressions into words.

In this guide
Notes are a vocabulary for describing a fragrance's impressions, not necessarily its ingredient list. A note may evoke a material without that material being present in its natural form.
Floral
Impressions associated with flowers.
Woody
Evocations of wood and dry or soft textures.
Amber
Often warm accords with many facets.
Fresh
Bright, green or citrus sensations.
Gourmand
Evocations of flavours or sweet treats.
Spicy
Impressions evoking spices.
These descriptions are indicative: each product's notes will only be displayed after verification with its house.
