Senteur System
-
AmberAmber fragrances are warm, comforting, and sensual, though the amber note itself doesn’t truly exist. It’s a blend of ingredients like vanilla, patchouli, labdanum, styrax, and benzoin, creating versatile accords that range from soft and powdery to deep and musky.
-
AquaticA sense of the great outdoors using natural and synthetic ingredients to suggest sea breezes, icy lakes, sunny streams, icy cascades and the salty ocean.
-
ChypreRich dark scents: sophisticated, elegant and urban. Generally chypres feature crisp top notes which soften through fruity or floral hearts into an aromatic woody base.
-
CitrusAlso known as hesperidic. One of the oldest of the classic perfume families. Oils of orange, lemon, bergamot, neroli, grapefruit. A fresh bright ‘cologne’ accord.
-
FloralFallen petals, bouquets, flowers in a vase: a florist’s, a summer garden or a still life: white, green and velvety. Fresh, sweet and essentially feminine.
-
FougereFresh aromatic notes, suggestive of herbs, mosses, bracken and ferns - softer and warmer than Green scents with a typical use of lavender, thyme, sage and rosemary.
-
FruityFragrances enriched with notes of soft sweet fleshy fruits such as peach, apricot and plum. A sense of sensuality, opulence and indulgence. A golden amplitude!
-
GourmandGourmand perfumes comprise an especially sensual fragrance family which celebrates the close link between smell and taste. Gourmands are all about the sweet pleasures of the table.
-
GreenThink of all the colour green suggests to you: fresh, sometimes sharp scents dominated by leafy, grassy, arboreal crisp accords. Brisk, energising, natural and clean.
-
LeatherLeather accords are variously polished, smoky, juicy, supple or suedey. Sophisticated, varied and imaginative. Assertive and seductive.
-
OrientalWhen you think Orientals, think dramatic accords of amber, vanilla, incense, spices and tonka with indulgent sumptuous floral accords to match.
-
OudOud, derived from the resin of the agarwood tree, is a rare and prized perfumery ingredient known for its dark, smoky aroma reminiscent of tobacco, incense, amber, leather, and wood. Traditionally intense, modern oud scents are now crafted to be lighter while retaining their distinctive richness.
-
PowderyPowdery scents evoke a soft, clean aroma like freshly powdered skin or crisp linens. Typically combining iris, violet, musk, or vanilla with subtle woody undertones, iris remains the goddess of powdery notes.
-
TobaccoCaron’s Tabac Blond (1919) introduced a century of scents based on accords of tobacco. Acrid, smoky, honeyed, green or damp. Intriguingly aromatic; still mildly controversial.
-
WoodyFragrances based on fragrant woods: and, within that remit, very varied - grainy, dry, blond and smooth; or earthy, oily, dark and suggestive of forest depths.
