Cinnamon
Mysterious and spicy, cinnamon is a signature characteristic of musky scents. For example: Opium, by Yves Saint Laurent. As debatable as it is successful, cinnamon blends with rose, jasmine and vanilla to create this enchanting scent.
Champaca
The sweet notes of champaca, a flower related to magnolia, bring perfumes a touch of richness and exoticism. In J’adore by Dior, champaca emits, flooding a luxurious bouquet of flowers (ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose) with light.
Vanilla
While vanilla brings to mind the sweetness of childhood and sweet desserts, this aphrodisiac olfactory note is also one of the most sensual ingredients in perfumery. Vanilla is used liberally in Shalimar by Guerlain, and its creamy sweetness completely allows it to be one of the most arousing perfumes in the world.
Lavender
Synonymous with freshness, lavender immediately elicits a thought of purity, natural, chic and cleanliness. These are all qualities discovered in Jo Malone’s Silver Birch & Lavender perfume, a cool, almost purified version of lavender.
Bergamot
Bergamot brings to mind the warm rays on the skin, the sun-drenched fruits that we bite into listlessly on the beach, and the laziness of the holidays. In short, it represents the energy of summer. Bergamotto di Calabria by Acqua Di Parma condenses all of these emotions in a bottle.
Tuberose
Tuberose is arguably the most sensual flower in perfumery, the one that recollects the sensation of warm skin with its opaque forms. Tuberose is downright animalistic when and associated with a pure layer of white musk like in Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood is an incredibly bewitching olfactory note bar. Alluring and super chic, it is at the heart of Le Labo’s bestseller, Santal 33. Thanks to its extremely tasteful blend bringing forth the warm breath of the desert, the scent has been adopted by all New York women since its launch.
Jasmine
Whether it comes or with accents of tea, jasmine is an iconic ingredient in perfumery. In Jasmin Fauve by Ex Nihilo, it is fresh, supported by a very exhilarating orange blossom. This is without doubt one of the most aphrodisiac perfumes in the ranking.
Rose
Lastly is rose, a symbol of softness and femininity, of which there are a multitude of interpretations. One of the most modern variations, Rose Petal 25 by Jo Loves, enhances the rough and sensual aspects of the flower via a bouquet of roses.
